Is it really necessary to change the name ISIS (used in the article) into Daesh?

[QUOTE=Baazul;47552161]Is it really necessary to change the name ISIS (used in the article) into Daesh?[/QUOTE] Yes, it will offend all the Daesh militants reading Facepunch right now.

[QUOTE=Baazul;47552161]Is it really necessary to change the name ISIS (used in the article) into Daesh?[/QUOTE] idk some people think calling them by the name they hate on a gaming forum is going to have any effect

Apparently Al-Qaeda condemned the attack right away.

[QUOTE=Jitterz;47552298]Apparently Al-Qaeda condemned the attack right away.[/QUOTE] Makes sense, al Qaeda and Daesh are semi-at war with each other and this is al Qaeda's home territory.

[QUOTE=Baazul;47552161]Is it really necessary to change the name ISIS (used in the article) into Daesh?[/QUOTE] The Facepunch Arm Chair Militia is at full war, so yes.. we're really gettin' them!

[QUOTE=Baazul;47552161]Is it really necessary to change the name ISIS (used in the article) into Daesh?[/QUOTE] how will we fight the good fight if we aren't using the wrong name on a obscure gaming forum?

Yes, it is necessary >:) Because if we want people to start using that name instead, which as we all know ISIS hates, then we've all gotta' chip in. I'm not about to go to Afghanistan to shoot me some ISIS so this is my best tactic to get at em'. Don't judge me too hard, be gentle

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;47552267]Yes, it will offend all the Daesh militants reading Facepunch right now.[/QUOTE] I know if I ever got captured by ISIS militants the first thing I'd do is discuss with them the hit sandbox game, Garrys Mod!

The name the LOCALS INITIALLY CALLED THEM isn't only a sign of defiance you know, there are some other reasons not to call them isis. #1 They changed their names 3 times. Fuck them, you're not getting away with that. I'm not going to juggle IS, ISIL, ISIS all over the place. #2 DAESH is what our militaries and the local fighters call them. It's incredible how hard you're shitting on him for being so edgy despite not even necessarily being edgy.

This group is composed of savages hardly worth being called human. I'm going to deliver whatever blow I can. The media should be using the name DAESH, not ISIS - I corrected this for them when [I]I[/I] posted this thread. I fail to see why this is such an issue. It's a name - get over it. This is a very large forum and you never know where there are supporters of DAESH - it isn't hurting anybody unless they are affiliated with the group. What's the big deal? Are you affiliated? Is that why you're so bothered by this?

Its like if some terror group started calling themselves the Christian State or the Jewish State. And its not going to help because idiots go around thinking 'Islamic State = All islam' But when you use DAESH instead, people will go 'Oh, you mean that bunch of fuckups in Syria and Iraq'

[QUOTE=BazzBerry;47552776]Thank you for your meaningful contribution to this discussion.[/QUOTE] My point is that you say you'll deliver any blow you can so you'll call them Daesh, but it's literally not even a tiny blow, nobody from ISIS reads Facepunch, there isn't some guy in the middle-east right now browsing a gaming forum, reading the thread, and getting upset about it. It just isn't happening. If you want to strike any kind of blow to ISIS you'd need to actually fly out there and fight them yourself. [editline]Edited:[/editline] Christ I hadn't noticed how paranoid your post was Not only do you somehow think ISIS is going to join Facepunch and read it, you're also accusing a guy of being affiliated with ISIS because he thinks calling them Daesh is stupid? Are you high or something? Like christ dude what's your deal

My evil plot to convert Facepunch to Islam by thinking editing news articles is silly has been foiled.

Feel free to call them whatever you want I guess, I just don't know why you would think it would make any kind of impact on the group

Obviously I'm not going to do that - I'm 19, work full time at a coffee shop and am in no position to do so. I seriously am at a loss as to why this is bothering you guys so much. Daesh is the proper term - they dislike it. It goes against what they are working for. It is the name the media [I]should[/I] be using. Why the fuck [I][B]wouldn't[/B][/I] we use this name for them instead? Regardless of if this is a gaming forum - it is still a public board that anybody can access. So yes, I am going to call them Daesh instead of ISIS if I so please. Is that ok? Thanks mom. And no I wasn't serious in accusing him of being a terrorist lol.

Nobody from ISIS is watching Facepunch. The idea that anyone might be is ludicrously paranoid and unrealistic, and all you're doing is making yourself feel like you're taking a stand against them even though it does fuck all. If you really want people to know that you weren't serious, then you should've given literally any indication you were joking or being hyperbolic, too.
