ISIS or ISIL? There is a BIG difference! By Thomas Madison
I posted this peculiarity last week. It has become increasingly conspicuous, annoying even, that while the rest of the world refers to the cockroaches beheading innocent people, including children, across Syria and Iraq, as ISIS, or IS, King Hussein, and the rest of his administration insist on referring to the lice-ridden scumbags as ISIL.
“Tomaytoes/tomahtoes?” Hmmmmmm, I don’t think so. If you look closely at the literal, geographical difference between the two acronyms, it appears that there is much more to the story.
ISIS is an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, which includes only territory within the clear borders of those two sovereign countries. ISIL is an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The “Levant” includes Israel.
Ostensibly, anyone referring to this nest of rats as ISIL, and only as ISIL, while the rest of the civilized world refers to them as ISIS, is denying the existence of Israel, a point much harder to support had not that talking point made its way to every official mouthpiece of every agency and department within the federal government.
“ISIS is an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria,”
Wrong .....
“Obama calls them ISIL for a reason. Lets see if anyone here knows why?”
Because that is what they call themselves. First they were ISIS, then ISIL and NOW they refer to themselves as IS.
“ISIS is an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria”
Obviously, the author is slightly mis-informed about this acronym.
Well and truly stated.
Yes, gloat. You taught it to me.
And I began to hate my American president, and I don’t want to. It’s hard not to, so I decided maybe somehow he doesn’t mean that. But I have not convinced myself.
Hermeticists have believed for centuries that Isis is the Queen of Heaven . . . and Hell -
Yes made it and pleas do “steal it”.
Thank you.
I assumed it was to draw a distinction between the bad terrorists that Obama supported in Syria and the worse terrorists in Iraq.
ISIS = IISS = $
Someone operating Odumbo's teleprompter seems to know this.
I didn’t notice that Obama says ISIL because I can no longer even listen to a word he says. I automatically turn off the sound. I hate him and his lies too much to listen to them first hand.
Agreed. I only heard it because my son was watching the news.
Thanks! I really like it.
“It is worse than that. ‘Levant’ doesn’t just include Israel but also Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt. Libya, and Turkey- It’s the Caliphate of the Ottoman Empire.”
I think that the term ISIL, could be used as a warning that these guys aren’t just interested in Syria and Iraq (ISIS) - but that whole region (and more?). Palin could use ISIL and educate those with ears willing to hear. Obama uses the term along with his other snubs to Israel; and not as a warning, but as a Hope.

What?
No, “legs,” pics?!
balderdash
A footnote on Mein Kampf, selling like hot cakes: the book remains the second best seller in the Arab world after rthe koran.
I figure because Levant is more in line with the Muslim way of talking.
ISIS is more western sounding.
What evidence do you have that he is an American?
His actions are not those of an American, indeed while they are totally inconsistent with patriotism towards America, they are totally and universally and consistently aligned with islam, the caliphate and ummah.
His actions say quite, quite clearly that his legal status is not "American president", but "non-uniformed enemy combatant".
His actions are those we would expect of spies and saboteurs.
