he prefers to use the Arabic acronym Daesh when referring to to ISIS because he said it stands for Islamic state. They are neither Islamic nor are they a state.

Wait, Daesh stands for islamic state so he’s going to
call them that rather than islamic state ???

He needs a new day job.

...and I understand ISIS finds the acronym Daesh offensive.

That’s what I thought too.

Michael Savage had a great idea he articulated just minutes ago. If our illustrious leaders (including jeh johnson) feel so sure that the ‘refugees’ will cause no problems, they they all should have to put up a surety bond of $1mil backed by collateral like a house, for a future victims’ fund, should any of the friendly ‘refugees’ decide to go off. If in ten years time or so, there are no terrorist attacks by any of our new ‘guests’, they get back their money with interest.

Ellison should long ago have been jailed and tried as a traitor. Instead, he has a sizable following of fellow travelers.

Interesting watching a radical Islamist like Ellison and allies of his like John Kerry try to change the conversation with this term Daesh. Anything to avoid reality.

Actually it is a state bigger than Great Britain.
And, to add to that, it is Islamic to the core.

Our problem with ISIS is that its members believe in a literal interpretation of the Koran and the Hadith. They seems to think that words count. They actually believe that the Koran or the Hadith teaches the truth when it states that it is OK to cut hands and heads off. Ditto raping and killing young girls. And don’t forget the 72 virgins - they believe that good work will be rewarded.

I guess Ellison missed the authoritative decree from Al Azhar University

ISIS is indeed Islamic, follows the rules laid down by Big Mo
http://counterjihadreport.com/category/al-azhar-university/

....owing to Al-Azhar’s educational curricula that had been promoting a radical Salafist and Wahhabist brand of Islam for quite some time.

On Jan 4, the popular satellite TV host Ibrahim Issa showed, with book in hand, that what Al-Azhar taught in its curricula was exactly what Daesh [ISIS] practiced. To wit, that “all adult, free and able men” were to “kill infidels,” and do so “without so much as a prior notice or even an invitation to embrace Islam.” Issa, in his characteristically refreshing and funny style, chided his audience for being so deeply in denial. “So you find Daesh horrible, don’t you? Oh dear, oh dear! But why, when Daesh does exactly what Al-Azhar teaches?”

I don’t care what you call it Ellison (D-MN) . Just as long it’s dead.

OK, Mr. Ellison; queers can call themselves married and we have to believe it, but if Islamics call themselves a state, it ain’t so?

Still confounds me how a MUSLIM got elected in Minnesota.

SERIOUSLY misguided white guilt, I’m sure.

The Islamic State is not an Islamic State?

Then how do they offer free healthcare and a progressive tax system that American liberals covet?

I’m glad Ellison laid to rest the myth that the left created when they said Timothy McVeigh was a Christian.

Nothing this man says or does is to be trusted.

First, he took the oath of office with his hand on a Koran instead of the Bible.

Second, the Koran authorizes deception, lying, and oath breaking under certain circumstances - especially war.

That this travesty was allowed to occur, shows how far the trustworthiness of our government has fallen. It also raises the question if anyone got a good look at the "bible" Obama placed his hand on.

Why do we have to repeatedly go through sophomoric discussions of whether barbarians represent true Islam? They themselves say they are doing it all for Allah.

Yet, for every violent act with a gun, that liberal labels all gun owners.

I agree; how did we get here? I tell you all of these libs and dems that support the “Muslim refugees” will come to regret it. As Europe is now experiencing, Muslims do not assimilate. They will continue to grow their base and while these libs and dems support the ROP one day they are going to wake up under Sharia law. Oh, and for those LGBT types, you will have to go back into the closet; or lose your head. And those women lib types will long for the day of equal rights and the “Republican” war on women. Want to see a real war on women, go live in a Muslim country under Sharia law....

Send them over to negotiate with ISIS. The worst thing that could happen is that we would demand a ransom to take them back.
