He said "terror", "terrorist", or "terrorism" more times last night than he has in the previous seven years combined. Oh, and he is the ONLY western "leader" to call them ISIL...because he hates Israel."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

i thought they themselves preferred to be called ISIL, or specifically Islamic State. I think the media still uses ISIS because it sounds mor sinister and strikes fear in american's.Comment

Not sure on accuracy, but I just googled to find these definitions:
Islamic State: This is the English version of what the terror group calls itself. It also claims to be a caliphate, which is a state ruled by a caliph, which is Arabic for "successor," meaning successor to the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. The last generally acknowledged Muslim caliphate was the Ottoman Empire, which ended in 1923. Many governments and media refuse to use this name because it gives the group legitimacy as a state and a representative of Islam.
ISIS: The militant group, which began as the Iraqi branch of al Qaeda during the U.S. occupation, gained this name after it invaded Syria in 2013. ISIS is short for "Islamic State in Iraq and Syria," or "Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham," which is an old Arabic term for the area.
ISIL: ISIL translates to “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.” The Levant is a geographical term that refers to the eastern shore of the Mediterranean -- Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel and Jordan. It’s the term the U.S. government uses since the "Levant" is apparently a better translation for al-Sham, the Arabic name for the region.
Daesh: This is a term the militant group hates. French President François Hollande has used it since the attacks Friday, and first used it in September 2014. It’s an Arabic acronym for “al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham.” It can sometimes be spelled DAIISH, Da'esh or Daech, a popular French version. The hacktivist group Anonymous and President Barack Obama have used the term since the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris.
Thanks to Arabic wordplay, it could also be an insult. “Depending on how it is conjugated in Arabic, it can mean anything from ‘to trample down and crush’ to ‘a bigot who imposes his view on others,'" Boston Globe writer Zeba Khan reported in October 2014. ISIS threatened “to cut the tongue of anyone who publicly used the acronym Daesh, instead of referring to the group by its full name,” the Associated Press wrote in September 2014."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

I've wondered what the difference was between ISIS and ISIL but never took the minute to google it. Here is what Google gave me:
ISIS vs ISIL - what's the difference?
(NEWS CENTER) -- "ISIS" has been dominating media headlines. But government officials are saying "ISIL." What's the difference?
The two acronyms refer to the same group. ISIS stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria because the group's territory straddles the border between the two counties. ISIL stands for Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. The Levant is the historic name given to the entire region east of the Mediterranean from Egypt, east to Iran and to Turkey. U.S. officials use ISIL instead of ISIS to emphasize the group's goal to expand its influence beyond the borders of Syria and Iraq.
Government officials use ISIL, which refers to the Levant region.
The group began as a splinter from the terrorist group al Qaeda. The goal of ISIS is to create an Islamic state in Middle Eastern and African countries. President Obama authorized airstrikes against ISIS at the beginning of August to protect areas ISIS is trying to take over. Shortly after the first airstrikes, the group executed American journalist James Foley. They also executed American journalist Steven Sotloff.
Interesting fact: the town of Levant just outside of Bangor, Maine was named for the Middle Eastern region back in 1813.Comment

The government uses the term ISIL because the NCA wants it that way. "Levant", in the radical Muslim world, does not recognize the legitimacy, sovereignty, or existence of Israel. The rest of the developed world uses ISIS or Daesh, so as to make sure that the disrespect is directed at the terrorists, not Israel."It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."Comment

revisiting a few things now that we have the official declaration of "terrorism" that everyone wanted.
The #SanBernardino shooting official story is a lie. I'm going to compile the key data here for people to consider on their own. My opinion is these two young parents (90 lb new mother with a 7 month, and her husband) were kidnapped, handcuffed, and framed for a terrible murder because they were Muslim and the powers that be are desperate to create more support for wars.
Pictured below: The suspects were killed in handcuffs?
3 White men in military gear the original suspects?
http://www.legitgov.org/San-Bernardi...-Military-Gear (This site is being attacked)
The third shooter was scrubbed from national media
The two guns that did the most damage in the attack were not owned by or purchased by either of the two "suspects".
Three professional, tall, athletic men dressed in all black military gear, cargo pants...
The media were given free reign in the supposed crime scene, which supposedly had pipe bomb factory?
