They hate the name, and that alone is good enough for me. However, the name is a better descriptor of this group. The rough translation is a slur meaning "bigots who impose their views on others." Just like members of the KKK hate being called racists, ISIS hates being called Daesh.
I just giggle every time I type the word Daesh because I know it is just going to keep cropping up in search terms that include ISIS. Yay me, the keyboard warrior!![]()
