*** Quit using ISIS, and start using DAESH (pronounces DAY-ESH) ***

*** Quit using ISIS, and start using DAESH (pronounces DAY-ESH) ***

I'm sure a lot of you guys don't know this, but you'll start hearing our government, along with other major foreign countrys officials calling the former "ISIS" as DAESH (pronounced DAY-ESH).

The name ISIS is an acronym formed in English for 'Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. By using the term ISIS we are legitimizing that they are truly the "Islamic State". In Arabic, they don't use acronym they just use the words themselves "'al-dowla al-islaamiyya fii-il-i'raaq wa-ash-shaam" which in English has a acronym of DAESH.

The meaning of DAESH in Arabic is very insulting. The censored words can be found by doing a Goggle search. The term DAESH is so insulting that it is reported that these terrorist have threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone it hears using the term. Thus why our government is using it, along with the other countries.

This is very similar to our Former President George H.W. Bush, intentionally mispronunciation former Iraqi leader Saddam (pronounced sah-DAHM) Hussein as "SAD-um" which translated into Arabic as "little shoe shine boy."

Please start calling them what they are, DAESH....
