The Islamist militant group that has seized control of parts of Iraq has been outlawed in the UK.
The Home Office said it would be a criminal offence to associate with or give financial backing to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis).
The UK has ruled out a role in any possible military action but may give other support to the Iraqi government.
Nick Clegg has warned that the turmoil in Iraq and Syria is a "very direct threat" to the safety of UK citizens.

I checked the byline to see if this was a Maureen Dowd article.

Now that they have been deemed an outlaw group, I’m sure ISIS feels appropriately chastened. /s

“Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis).”
That’s the first I’ve seen “and the Levant”, rather than the usual “and Syria”. That’s a direct threat to Israel.
BTW, making the organization illegal is a significant step. It will make it harder for ISIS to raise funds in Britain. It will also make it possible to arrest any British citizen, who goes to fight for ISIS and then returns (say, for the free medical care, and welfare payments).

They didn’t hashtag it. It ain’t over till they hashtag it.

I agree...
Technically ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Sham. Not sure when Levant was determined but that is why some call them ISIL.
