And I agree with him. I don't think ISIL, ISIS, or the Islamic State, whichever name they are being called, should be called any of those things. As part of the propaganda war to seize control of the narrative, I think all government and news agencies should begin to refer to them as the Daesh Death Cult, the DDC for short. By constantly referring to them as the Daesh Death Cult, it removes any reference to religion and denies the cult legitimacy. It also emphasizes their main goal of spreading death. The DDC has been using propaganda to radicalize youth, especially young men, around the world to join their cause. Isn't it time we turned the massive propaganda power of American media against them?

Might be hard. American media seems bent of glorifying every nutjob out there.

Absolutely. The media needs to start calling them by their proper name.

apparently they are really upset to be labelled Daesh so it is all the more reason to maintain that one
