The French use it for that reason. We should be too but the American public would not understand. So, here we are, arguing about ISIS/ISIL and trying to offend each other instead of the terrorists.retiredenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693405694592881395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-62076083462311840292016-03-25T02:52:05.871-04:002016-03-25T02:52:05.871-04:00I agree with the previous commentator; referring t...I agree with the previous commentator; referring to ISIS is counterproductive given that the final 'S' represents a country that collapsed after Obama's "red line"Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780519140837852601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-29377038580526823582016-03-24T22:26:31.645-04:002016-03-24T22:26:31.645-04:00Actually, I was under the impression that Obama, a...Actually, I was under the impression that Obama, at least partially, DOES say ISIL in order to piss a certain group of people off: ISIL itself. They want to be called the IS - the Islamic State (implying "for the whole world"). ISIL stands for "Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant", and ISIS substitutes "Syria" for "Levant". I've understood it as a subtle disrespect towards the band of murderous thugs not to even grant them "Syria". This is similar to how Francois Hollande calls them "Daesh", which is an apparently offensive Arabic acronym for ISIL.<br /><br />Interesting how ISIL's biggest, yooogest recruiter wants them to get a little more respect from President Obama. I'm sure Republicans are glad he's focussed on the important things that will help keep us safe!sdhayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354409528975596405noreply@blogger.com
