I made an almost identical proposal in a blog post back in May of 2008, when I said:

I would like to make a proposal that the scope of Yom Hazikaron be changed one more time, to also embrace the Jewish victims of radical Islamist terror worldwide. I believe this would be appropriate, not only because most victims were targeted as Jews, but also because many of the acts of terror were purported to be in response to Israeli acts or policies (or simply the existence of Israel or Zionism).

in reference to:

"The IDF and Terror Victims Remembrance Day ceremonies included a special one that memorialized Jews killed in anti-Semitic terror attacks outside Israel, some of them Jewish Agency workers. According to Jewish Agency data, 200 Jews have been murdered in anti-Semitic actions in various parts of the world, since the founding of the Jewish State. Their names are carved on a permanent memorial that will be unveiled at the ceremony."
