I liked the name ISIS better than the new name ... “The Islamic State”.

Backfire? Fear not, Obama will make sure it is not backfiring.

[GeronL]

I still do not understand where exactly ISIS came from.

Wonder when Barry will bow to the new Caliphate?

This was a rational analysis, but it won't work to use reason to determine their outlook. ISIS is trying to hasten the islamic Apocalypse. Unlike Christians who try to predict the end times, but don't have any way of making it happen, the muslim Apocalypse seems to be brought about by the actions of muslims themselves, and ISIS is trying to act the part. Unfortunately for the rest of us, the muslim Apocalypse is not Skittles and rainbows. It is beheadings and rivers of blood type stuff.

* By the way the spell checker here is broken. It keeps asking me to capitalize words like "muslim" and "islam."

Need I ask if obama’s on board with this?

Let’s see which one of the Muslim states will be the first to recognize the Caliphate and see what Bambi’s reaction to that will be.

After months of gaining territory, weapons, and cash, ISIS is putting its global credibility on the line in a play that could backfire spectacularly.

On Sunday morning, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, or ISIL, if you must) pronounced the reformation of the caliphate—the historical Islamic state that once stretched over much of the modern-day Muslim world—with ISIS emir Abu Bakr al Baghdadi as the man in charge.

65 Years ago: After months of gaining territory, weapons, and cash, Germany is putting its global credibility on the line in a play that could backfire spectacularly.

On Sunday morning, the Nazi State of Germany pronounced the Thousand Year Reich with Adolf Hitler as the man in charge.

Bah! This is not a branding exercise. It's about a strongman making audacious moves, having them succeed, and then doubling down. If his military continue to support him, the public rallies to his side, and borders continue to fall, who knows where it ends.

Obama will soon add Ameristan to the list. Trust me, if the MSM told the lemmings to all become Muslim, they would. We live in an indoctriNation

If this is the ultimate manifestation of Islam, then we are watching their ultimate march into the ash can of history. Western Civilization will only be patient enough for them to catch up to the advances of human progress. However, when their answer is to destroy human progress to level the playing field, that is something that starts talk about their extermination.

For a liberal at the Daily Beast declaring an Islamic state is the boldest move. The military blitz, 1,700 executions in a day and crucifixions -not so much.

What’s the big deal in renaming a state?

We have just renamed Texas to Texaco and our new residents from the sough just love it.
