Synonym of en ISIS, en ISIL, en Islamic State
Usage notes
The usage of the term can be offensive to members and supporters of ISIS due to its resemblance to the unrelated Arabic words ar دعس da'es that which is crushed or ar داحس dāhis one who causes discord. Within areas under its control, ISIL considers use of the name Daesh punishable by flogging.Abouzeid Rania Syria's uprising within an uprising European Council on Foreign Relations 16 January 2014 http://ecfr.eu/content/entry/commentary_syrias_uprising_within_an_uprising238 https://web.archive.org/web/20140125092845/http://ecfr.eu/content/entry/commentary_syrias_uprising_within_an_uprising238 25 January 2014
