He doesn’t want to limit the group to Iraq and Syria, he wants them to expand to the entire LEVANT (Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, and Turkey are sometimes considered Levant countries)

It is a reference to the Levant. A much wider area than just Iraq and Syria.

ISIL then is used to indicate their greater ambitions to include Jordan and Israel as well as Syria.

This is actually an odd allowance for the threat ISIL wants to be from an administration that often sticks its head up its can over militant Islam.

The Obama bastard uses “ISIL” which gives them unwarranted wider claim to include all of the “Levant” (covers Israel, Lebanon, and “Palestine” as well as Syria). Thus, by doing his politically correct “ISIL” b.s. Obama lends support to ISIS claims to wider territorial legitimacy. Obama is scum.

ISIL is the name used by Muslims who think they own Israel.

Yes, because ISIL includes Israel within their claimed territory.
