MO calling them ISIL merely supports there overall goal which includes Israel, Jordan and others. When we and the hero of Benghazi use the term we support the threat agains their country.

We should call them ISIS and show we don’t buy into it.

Sorry, did you read the article? ISIS is using neither term. The term they use refers either way to Israel, Jordan, etc.

The term “Syria,” as a geographical expression, till the last century, included Israel, Jordan and so forth. IOW, it meant pretty much the same thing as the Levant, though both terms are pretty vague as to boundaries.
