They call themselves The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, which implies Syria, Lebanon, Israel and parts of Jordan. Al Sham can be translated as the Levant areas. ISIS or ISIL are both acceptable. In their propaganda they refer to themselves as Daesh, which is the Arabic acronym for their name.

They’re down to just IS, Islamic State, now.

Chasing the Yzidi Christians up the mountain and raping and murdering them would not have made news if not for our pilots watching this from above, and Green Berets embedded in with the Kurds.

Murder on the Mountain will probably be seen as the turning point, the reversal, of the Global Left in the history books.
