I don't see how it's ABC's fault, they're just quoting the prosecutor :

quote:

Commonwealth prosecutor Paul Maguire SC told the committal hearing the gesture had "become known as the Islamic State salute".

That statement is also correct, considering jihadist groups use it all the time on their propaganda material, and the gesture has been associated as such in recent times in the West.

HOT LEAKS: My grandparents have made the ISIS salute when they win at lawn bowls

I think context is important, doing that symbol before a murder with references to international islamic terrorism doesn't leave much room for interpretation as to its meaning.

So calling it an ISIS salute doesn't seem wrong in that context. it's the difference between a swastiska used by a Jainist and one used by a Neonazi.
