As far as the Jordanians go, I do. It was their pilot who was executed by burning to death by Daesh (this name is BETTER than ISIS, mainly because they hate it). The King of Jordan ordered and LED retaliatory strikes and still isn't done. He executed a couple of prisoners Daesh wanted to exchange.
Yeah, I wanna hear more. It's a lot more that the Daesh supporter we have in the White House...
More importantly, the Nazi-esque brutality and viciousness of Daesh shows the World just what Islam is REALLY all about, the idiot occupying our White House, notwithstanding.
May their legacy be forever tarnished and scorned.
It seems more and more Western media are using the derogatory DAESH when they’re talking about the Islamic State in Iraq and as-Shām (commonly known as ISIS).
As nobody seems to have the faintest idea what DAESH stands for, here’s an attempt to explain.
The capitals in the word DAESH point out it is an acronym of some sort. And indeed if we single out the beginning letters of the Arabic name for ISIS :
الدولة الاسلامية في #1575;لعراق و&>1575;لشام
we get the Arabic: داعش
د = Dawlat (Nation)
ا = (al-) Islāmiyya
ع= (fī’l-) ‘Irāq
ش = (wa’s-) Shām (Greater Syria or the Levant)
So, roughly transcribed to the Latin alphabet that leaves us with DAESH. (The E stands for the ‘ayn in ‘Iraq)
At first the name DAESH was merely an acronym indeed. Activists and more moderate rebel coalitions used it as referral to Dawlat al-Islāmiyya fī al-Irāq wa s-Shām. But it didn’t take long before all kinds of interpretations arose.
In se the Arabic word داعش doesn’t even exist. But if we look at the tone of voice within circles (opposing ISIS) ever since they introduced the acronym, we might conclude the acronym has a double meaning.
Most likely ISIS opponents are referring to the Arabic verb دعس, meaning : to thread underfoot, trample down, crush (see The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic, p. 325 and 326)
Another theory is that the name refers to the Jāhiliyya (pre-Islamic) strife between two Arab tribes on the Arabian peninsula : داحس والغبراء
Dāhis wa’l-Ghabrā’ can be literary translated as ‘felon and dust’ (see http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/داحس_والغبراء ). This referral seems to have a more theological background yet it seems unlikely all sources using this would have in depth knowledge of the Jāhiliyya.
Which ever theory suits best, it is quite clear that the acronym DAESH (داعش) is mostly, if not only, used by opponents of ISIS in Syria.

“Yeah, I wanna hear more. It’s a lot more that the Daesh supporter we have in the White House...”
The Jordanians have done nothing to help the U.S. since 2001.
What you have is a bunch of local tribes that hate each other. Occasionally they unite due to their hatred of the Jews.
Do not forget that the Jordanian Kings were kicked out of Saudi by the British. The British gave them Jordan as a consolation prize. These people do not forget.
