Many power heads and politicians use the term ISIL. Even president Barack Obama refers to them as such, ISIL.
There are many fringe theories as to why he does this, but I have not packed any validity into any one of them yet.
Maybe ISIL is a more accurate term for the ambitions of the banking cartel.

So then, they have absolutely no clue how to interpret how we are titling them?
I did mention them making a media spectacle in efforts to teach US a lesson about what we call them. If they're the real deal, I have a hard time believing they would ever tolerate this.
The press argument: Where did they get it from if that's all this is?

why the hell are you so incapable of distinguishing the difference between a proper name [ Isis ] and an acronym [ I.S.I.S. ] ??????
