The Prime Minister Of Australia Is Calling ISIS By A New Name That They Absolutely Hate

In recent weeks, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has started referring to the Islamic State terrorist organisation by a name they reportedly despise, Daesh.
 
Australia’s allies in the Middle East have suggested the Western world not use monikers such as ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) or IS (Islamic State) as they legitimise the group’s aspirations.
 
“Daesh hates being referred to by this term, and what they don’t like has an instinctive ­appeal to me,” Abbott said.

“I absolutely refuse to refer to it by the title that it claims for itself (Islamic State), because I think this is a perversion of religion and a travesty of governance.”
 
US Secretary of State John Kerry has also started referring to the group by the name, as have US military leaders.

I'm surprised that John Effin' Kerry is using the name.  Anyone else? :whistling:

I'm not because John Effin' Kerry just thinks calling ISIS "Daesh" lets him avoid connecting Islam with ISIS:

how is that pronounced, anyways? Like "dash" or more like "deesh"? "Dish"?

I have yet to see a kiwi or a Kerry stumble upon one conservative idea.

I would prefer calling them Muslim assholes myself.

 Most likely Daw-esh.
Maybe Day-esh.

Kiwis are NZ, an entirely different country, well to the left of Australia both in politics and on the map.  But certainly true of both.
