Daash v ISIS

[pluMmet]

What the heck is the difference between the two?

 

They seem to be used interchangeably.

DAASH, ISIS, IS, ISIL - pretty much one and the same.

 

If you want to get super-scholarly and nitpick the difference, you could... but at the end of the day the names do not make a difference. They all need to be hogtied, slathered in pig guts, and fed bacon flavored cyanide. 

 

FYI Peshmerga is the Kurdish forces that are fighting ISIS/DAASH/ISIL/IS. (That's another one that trips a lot of people up.... figured I'd toss it out there.)

 

Oh and since we're on the topic of confusing acronyms/translations... Erbil/Arbil are also the same.

 

Gerbil, however, is a small furry animal and has nothing to do with the HCL.

 Thanks Adam for the clarity...now I wish I could just pronounce some of the names of these people, much less the countries.

The only good terrorist is a dead one!

An NPR news program clarified the difference...

Daash is a derogatory term in the Iraqi language for this organization, also known as ISIS, ISIL.

That makes sense - thanks for the post.

A dead terrorist, killed by a woman who used pig blood coated ammunition.

So - as I understand it - a bunch of peshmerga gerbils are dashing towards Arbil to fight ISIS?
