Comment on Words matter in ‘ISIS’ war, so use ‘Daesh’parent

Comments

Why is calling ISIS Daesh more politically correct than calling other groups by derogatory names? When I see people on CNN pushing the "daesh" terminology, all I can think of is what an uproar it would be if they were talking about Africans, Asians, Appalachian Whites, or some other group.

Do we really think name-calling is the way to stop them? It's juvenile.

Are you really going to pull out the PC card for ISIS/Daesh?

I'm sure I'll be downvoted for this, but I really couldn't care less about their feelings. At all.
