the prophet Muhammad and the BBC

Well, the Beeb has deemed it fit to start referring to the founder of Muhammad as "the Prophet" (with capital letters, mind you) and to use the Muslim incantation afterwards "Peace be upon him" or "pbuh" in their coverage. I would like, nay demand, for them to start also using AMDG ("anno majorum dei gloriam" trans. "to the greater glory of God") that I used to have to write at the top of all my papers when I attented a Jesuit high school. I'm sure there is also some Buddhist phrase or some Jewish phrase that we can attach as well. Why not? Let's be respectful here. If not, I'll burn down my neighbor's dog-house, or bird-feeder, or at least throw a rock at his cat.
