Date: Friday, April 1, 2016

There are many reasons that why we should call ISIS “ Daesh.” First of all , they are bunches of terrorist groups that are currently operating in Syria and Iraq. Daesh, adapted the acronym of their Arabic name- al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham- that is similar to another Arabic word “ Das” which means to trample down or crash . Therefore, the terrorist group hates it so much, even they threatened the resident’s of those two countries and anyone who use the above-mentioned acronym they will cute out the tongues. In my opinion it’s very important to call these terrorist groups “ Daesh” because by saying this word at least we make them uncomfortable. As it was quoted by one of it’s militant, in Zeba khan a social media consultant and write at World in Words “ we will cut the tongue of anyone who publicly used the acronym Daesh, instead of referring to the group by its full name.” I was also very pleased by French President François Holland and Secretary of State John Kerry who used the word “ Daesh” in the wake of the Paris attacks, in lieu of ISIS or Islamic State. I know Daesh hates being called by this term and what they don’t like has an inherent appeal to me. Therefore, I unconditionally reject to refer to it by the title that it claims for itself [ Islamic State],because I think this is a misrepresentation of religion and a travesty of governance. I would strongly advise people against ever using the discourteous title that they have given
