ISIL is a bigger goal for the goat humpers.

What’s in a name? You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig

. ISIS stands for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, or Iraq and Syria, that's the I-S,

and ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant includes more than Iraq and Syria. It would include Israel, which, to these people, Israel is a fraud

Because Zero knows that all the ignorant dem voters/sheep have no clue what or where the Levant is.

Obama called his creation “ISIL”. and they do not want it.

BUT he is their father; the father of slavery
and rape and crucifixion and beheading
and murder and what is coming after Boston and Orlando
that he also enabled.

The only time leftists use exact language is when they’re on defense and need to use specific language to their advantage. (”it depends on what ‘is’ is.”) Otherwise, they want to obscure the truth because they benefit from ignorance and lies.

They need to be on a war footing with a franchise not the corporation of Islam....

It’s an to insult Israel!

the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant includes more than Iraq and Syria. It would include Israel, which, to these people, Israel is a fraud. Israel doesn’t deserve to be there.

ISIL includes the Levant which would include Israel under the territory claimed by the Islamic State.
ISIS would just be Iraq and Syria, where they actually operate and occupy territory.
He seems to me to be tipping his hand that he is a closet muslim every time he does it.
Just like his CIA director does everytime he says Al Quds instead of Jerusalem.
Only a muslim would do that.

Future Islamic State in Isreal (Levant). That’s 0bama’s goal.

Oh, I've been waiting for this chance.

ISIL vs. ISIS reduces it to an US vs. THEM, Even though I haven't heard of an ISIS convert yet using ISIL And they would be in a category by itself. I think ISIS refers to itself as simply IS for islamic State.

Some argue it's more than that which I guess it but who cares? Levant is an ancient term when there was a caliphate.

It may seem like that, but I think the reason he uses ISIL is because that’s what it was called by government agencies when it first popped up. They don’t like to change these things because it messes up the books.

This is kind of like how the government spells Osama Bin Laden as “Usama Bin Ladin” but the press uses Osama.

Also, a lot of the Gitmo detainees transliterate their names differently than the government does.

0bama uses ISIL instead of ISIS because he does not wish to be accused of badmouthing Iraq and Syria if he can avoid it. He is such an America-hating weasel.

It’s a big FU to Israel every time he uses it.

I think its odd that he alone insists on calling them ISIL, while almost everyone else calls them ISIS.

This from the president who says, to paraphrase, that calling terrorists adherents of radical Islam makes no difference, and that names don’t matter.

Yet this same man does not call ISIS by the name used by almost the entire world. Obviously it makes a difference to him to insist on calling them ISIL and using that acronym. Otherwise he would make it easy on us by using the ISIS acronym that the rest of the world uses.

Yeah, Obama isn’t even subtle about it. Very few people refer to ISIL. He’s practically unique. The dude wants Israel wiped off the map and Islam to reclaim the Levant.

They both refer to the same Muslim terrorist organization: The Islamic State.

Isis is the name of an Egyptian goddess, so, some people don’t like tarnishing her name by referring to this terrorist organization by that name.

I believe Lavant refers to the land between Syria and Egypt. ie: Israel.
