Why ISIS does not like being called Daesh?
The ISIS is referred by many names, but the one they hate the most is Daesh. The ISIS will cut the tongue of the person who refers to the outfit as Daesh. They would ideally want to be referred to as the ISIS or the ISIL or just the Islamic State.
What matters for the ISIS is that word state has to be present in the name of the organization. This is largely because the ISIS wants to set up a government and does not want to be known as a terrorist group.
The hatred for the word Daesh:
The
group
has
said
repeatedly
that
any
referring
to
the
ISIS
as
Daesh
will
either
be
whipped
or
his
tongue
cut
off.
There
is
a
lot
of
material
that
has
been
put
up
by
the
ISIS
where
it
has
spoken
out
against
being
referred
to
as
Daesh.
Daesh
is
said
to
be
a
shorted
version
of
the
Arabic
name
of
the
group.
The
Arabic
name
of
the
ISIS
is
al-Dawla
al-Islamiya
fi
al-Iraq
wa
al-Sham.
However the ISIS terms being referred to as Daesh as an insult. The world Daesh in Arabic could mean trample or bigot. However the word bigot is what the ISIS has a problem with and Daesh is more often than not means bigot who likes to control.
The French will call them only Daesh:
The
Americans
have
often
chosen
to
call
the
ISIS
as
the
ISIL
which
has
the
word
Levant
at
the
end
of
it.
The
French
feel
that
the
ISIS
is
a
misnomer
and
since
the
word
state
is
part
of
the
group's
name,
it
gives
a
wrong
impression.
The
Islamic
state
would
ideally
imply
that
they
are
the
governing
authority
of
all
Muslims
in
the
world.
This
is
something
that
the
French
want
to
avoid
and
hence
they
have
decided
to
continue
referring
to
the
group
as
the
Daesh
cutthroats.
America on the other hand continues to refer to the group as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant or ISIL. Levant refers to the region around Syria which includes, Palestine, Lebanon, Israel and Jordon. Moreover Levant according to the Americans is a translation of the word al-Sham which forms a large part of the Middle East near the Mediterranean.
ISIS will settle only for a state:
The ISIS however continues to refer to itself as the ISIL or just the Islamic State. For the ISIS a name is everything and they will chop your tongue off if anyone asks them what's in a name? The ISIS has made it categorically clear that its agenda is to rule.
However looking at the pattern of the ISIS, it is clear that their intention is not terror strikes alone. They have been taking over the administration of places, implanting laws and even taking over oil wells to fund their administration. The manner in which they rope in recruits only indicate that they are building an army such as the one a nation would have.
Terror groups too have their own PR skills and when it comes to the ISIS, no one is better than them. Declaring a Caliphate and a Caliph was part of a long term plan which has in fact worked wonders for them. Further they would also want a name which has the word State in it as they feel it has a good ring to it.
