Fair point.
I never even give it any thought that ISIL is a more appropriate abbreviation for them, since the Levant has very historical roots in the Arab world.
I don't think it's to do with running Israel into the sea though.
I'm of the belief that if ISIL wanted to do anything about Israel; then there best chance was when Israel were on their bombing campaign of Gaza just recently.
ETA: Any idea how to change the thread title from ISIS to ISIL?

No worries man, I never thought there was any offence directed at me
I'm actually grateful of the video you posted it was an eye opener for me about the "L" instead of the "S", even though I knew what they stood for.
Thanks!
