ISIL is Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, which incorporates Lebanon and Jordan, and probably Syria..

ISIS is Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

ISIS is also Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. Another poster told me that al-Sham is the ancient reference to Damascus.

Thank you for the good response.

Jordan has been a fairly decent nation in some respects. I have a hard time seeing it support a group intent on overthrowing the leadership in Iraq.

Syria I can buy into, because we know of the terrorist element there. Lebanon’s government is now suspect, at least I believe it is.

Most of this sound reasoned but the Jordanian quotient.
