World leaders have taken to calling ISIS “Daesh,†a word the Islamic State hates.
Since the attacks in Paris, both John Kerry and François Hollande have used it. The Kurdish militants battling ISIS in Iraq already use the term regularly, though they risk loosing their tongues by uttering it.
Daesh is an acronym. It stands for the Arabic name of the Islamic State: al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham. When Jen Percy, a New Republic contributor, went to northern Iraq this year, the Assyrian Christians waging a war against ISIS were calling ISIS troops “Daesh.†In her article for our September issue, she called it “a pejorative term for ISIS in Arabic.â€

Daesh is Arabic for Muslim Douche Bag
No...the term for dear leader is traitor.
That too.
I realize it was long ago but Kurds had no problems murdering thousands of their Christian neighbors in dozens of towns when told to do so by the Turkish Authorities. Read up on Armenian massacres of the 1890’s and around WWI. They have been since then and to this day horrible to Christians in the Karabakh region.
I never understood why people just looooove the kurds.
The only group of people I would trust over there would be Israeli.
Daesho pc, Daesher non pc.
Daesh, a word that Obama needs to hear often and plenty.
None of that isil crap.
This is nonsense. For example, Japan does grant permanent residency to muslims.
I understand; you’re steamed at the muslim atrocity in Paris. So am I.
But posting wild untruths does not help FR or its reputation.
Bump!
I think “Daesh” is a way of avoiding use of the term “Islamic” which is offensive to our Muslim economic partners in the New World Order from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States etc. etc.
“Daesh” is a politically correct term and so I think we should avoid it like the plague.
Who will destroy these bastards of humanity? The English, the Germans, the French, the Italians, the Russians, the United States of America? How about Roma Vaticana? Who will kill, every last one of these, Islamic pestilence? Who?
I did notice that Kerry called them daesh yesterday and I was curious as to why?
Because Kerry’s a real bad azz dude. Just ask him.
Thank you. I will look into that.
That’s what confuses me. Of late I’ve seen video of both using the term, so I’m highly suspicious of this sudden claim it’s a pejorative.
“Did the New Republic just learn this? Calling IS Daesh to insult them is very old news.”
Probably not, but now world leaders are making TOTAL IDIOTS of themselves by changing the name of ISIS every 2 weeks or so.
...so the New Republic has been told to defend them.
Way too nuanced for me, I still call them Muslim Terrorists.
When fighting against a demonic spirit its important to get the correct name to rebuke and cast out by the authority given to us by Christ.
That evil obama creature likes to call it ISIL to extend its authority over greater territory and especially including Israel,
Aka Daeshbag.
Gosh.....that’ll only make them mad. Bambi and Lurch should call them “Most Holy Blessed of Allah”. Then they won’t be mean.
