Words matter in ‘ISIS’ war, so use ‘Daesh’ - The Boston Globe
Words matter in ‘ISIS’ war, so use ‘Daesh’ - The Boston Globe:
That lefait is very crafty! Is this pronounced ‘douche’?
LOL, Lefait is pretty crafty. He knows a lot of things about a lot of things, too. In this case he knew what was up with calling them daesh nearly 2 years before almost anyone else over here figured it out. I don’t think it’s pronounced douche. I pronounce it dash. Sometimes I wonder if it is really supposed to be pronounced with 2 syllables: dah-esh. But I’m not sure. Maybe @lefaitjugelhomme can clarify.

Please remember that these attacks in France may have not been conducted by Jihadists. However, regardless of if they were, we must remember they do not represent the majority of Muslim people. If this is ISIS, as it is likely to be, it is very important that we remember that our Muslim neighbors are not at fault here, and we must stand in solidarity with them in this, as they are for us. Please, do not turn to racism and Islamophobia. If you see Islamophobia and racist comments against Muslim people in response to these attacks, say something!
