“Daesh” is an Arabic acryonym for “Al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi Iraq wa al-Sham”, the full name of the group that calls itself the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or Isis. The acronym is favoured by mainstream Muslims, who say the term “Islamic State” gives a religious dignity to what is simply a terrorist sect.
“Daesh” also sounds similar to the Arabic phrase “Dahes” - or “one who sows discord” - and as such is regarded as highly insulting by Isis followers. In July, a group of 120 British MPs wrote to Lord Hall, the director-general of the BBC, urging him to instruct his staff to use “Daesh” as well. Lord Hall said that would break BBC impartiality rules by giving viewers the impression that the BBC was explicitly supporting the group’s opponents.
The radical Muslim wants to behead you. The mainstream Muslim is waiting for the radical Muslim to behead you.
The operative word is "Muslim" - and as a free, independent Western woman, they want you dead.
