HIDDEN MESSAGE PERHAPS Ever wonder why Obama calls them ISIL when rest of world calls them ISIS JEWSNEWS

 

[Moonglow]

And all along I've called them IS...

 

[Porker]

I've never listened to that idiotic sumbitch long enough to determine what he calls ISIS. When that face turns up on my TV screen, I either hit the mute button or change the channel.

 

[FA_Q2]

hidden message?

That is dumb. He calls them that, AFAIK, because that is what they called themselves.

 

[Boatswain2PA]

Because, like most leftists, he hates Israel.

 

[Lipush]

Actually, it's the right term to use, and ISIS is the wrong one. ISIS stands for "Islamic State (in) Iraq (and) Syria"- whilst they themselves are called "Aldawla Al-Islamia fi Al-Iraq wa-AlShaam", Shaam stands for the Levant. term "Isis" is a misunderstood and not correctly translated-term.

 

[Sunni Man]

Lipush is correct that ISIS is a media invention.

And that ISIL is the correct acronym to use for this group. .....

 

[Dot Com]

Because, like most leftists, he hates Israel.

hyperbole in the CDZ? Please re-read the rules if you ever bothered to read them in the first place. Boatswain2PA

I believe the term Levant (the L in isiL) includes the geographical area of Israel. ISIS doesn't operate in Israel, so they are not ISIL.

Furthermore, they call themselves ISIL, so why are we giving these murderous bastards the generosity of calling them what they want to be called?

This one belongs to conspiracy theories.

Its what they are. It is interesting that we are willing to rail on Obama because he refuses to call Islamic Terrorism what it actually is but then right here we do not want to give them the 'satisfaction' of calling them by what their stated goal is.

This is a silly semantics argument anyway - I could give 2 shits what Obama wants to call them.
