a cancer within islam, more murderous than ebola. Astonishing, their evil god has made a virus who just picks members of the evil cult as victims.. The world must work hard to contain the virus inside the borders of islam
3. Ronen Bergman's Assessment
David E Y Sarna ,   Teaneck, NJ   (02.24.15)
Ronen Bergman's Assessment that ISIS will soon disintergarate and won't constitute a thereat to world peace is factless, lefty drivel supported by no arguments
4. "Is This The Beginning or End for ISIS"
Carole Gold ,   Austin, TX USA   (02.24.15)
To understand the U.S. State Department's name change from ISIS to Daesh, you have to understand Progressives. Progressives routinely change the name of their organizations, agendas, programs...whenever those names no longer serve their ends. Obama's Administration is unwilling to offend Islam in any way...witness the foreign policy approach to radical Islam. So, to further bow to Muslims, not speaking the worlds "radical Islam" was no longer sufficient. ISIS still had the word "Islamic" in it. So, to try and obscure the problem (and the danger) further...they have now come up with Daesh which to the western mind will not make the link to Islam so apparent. However, a barbaric radical yelling Allah Akbar, by any other name, is still a barbaric radical yelling Allah Akbar.
5. US State Department is clueless

the islamic state is islamic to its very core. what they do is part of salafism. obama wants to deny this, but all one need to do is get acqainted with saudi criminal code and criminal codes in many muslim countries.
6. Daesh is the Arabic acronym for Islamic State of Iraq/Sham
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.24.15)
7. DAESH = Al Dawlah al Islamiyah fi al Iraq wa al Sham
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.24.15)
8. Got proof, you know evidence for ISIS?
Murray the K ,   Brooklyn, NY   (02.26.15)
How do you justify without evidence, without corroboration, without analysis? Without evidence ISIS is just a myth.
