Isis is a goddess.
Dunno how "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" got acronymed into the name of a goddess but mmkay.
Whatever.
I believe it's because they used to be called "Islamic state of Iraq and Syria" which would be ISIS, and often times trivial words like "of" "and" get left out of an acronym.
