Obama calls it ISIL because that indicates a larger islamic state…L is the Levant, which includes much more than Syria: Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, etc. All of the countries around the eastern Mediterranean.
Yep. It’s a dog-whistle to muslims that he recognizes Israel as their rightful property.
Levant is another name for the Caliphate. One God, Allah. One nation, the Levant. One goal, domination of the entire world, with the elimination of all Christians, Jews, Buddhists etc. It is like a replay of Uncle Adolphs dream.
