Anyhow, I think you guys are making too big fuss out of a small issue. DAESH, ISIS, ISIL and so on are all different ways to refer to one and same terrorist group. A group that does shit like this: [QUOTE=Ignhelper;47552433]Video of aftermath.

[QUOTE=Boaraes;47552274]idk some people think calling them by the name they hate on a gaming forum is going to have any effect[/QUOTE] But Daesh IS their actual name, they don't hate it, they often refer to themselves with that name. That they dislike it was proposed solely by a French website with nothing to back it up, but everyone bought it.

I regret my first post in this thread already. I was just wondering why people don't stick to the name ISIS when every major newssite calls them by that name. It just seems like ISIS is the established name and Daesh would serve no journalistic value
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47552789][B]nobody from ISIS reads Facepunch[/B][/QUOTE] but we are all undercover Daesh militants.
[QUOTE=BazzBerry;47552802]Read up a few posts. 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.[/QUOTE] How does Daesh "go against them"? It's the Arabic acronym for "the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria." [editline]18th April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=BazzBerry;47552742]You're silly. This group is composed of savages hardly worth being called human. [b]I'm going to deliver whatever blow I can.[/b] 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?[/QUOTE] Wow you're practically on the frontlines.

Probably waiting for a picture to upload over 2G mobile internet.
[QUOTE=Baazul;47552161]Is it really necessary to change the name ISIS (used in the article) into Daesh?[/QUOTE] I use the word 'Daesh' because I hate the name 'ISIS'. It's a name people have, it's the name of an Ancient Egyptian God, it carries too many connotations.

[QUOTE=Lf751;47553283]What's up with that dude walking along on his phone with his face all re-arranged :v: Doesn't give a fuck[/QUOTE] Shock and adrenaline does crazy things, he likely can't even feel it.
