Re: ISIS
"Are we not calling them ISIS anymore?"
According to that bastion of truth, Wikipedia, since they were formed in 2004 they've been called all sorts of things...
Early 2004 Jamāʻat al-Tawḥīd wa-al-Jihād, "The Organization of Monotheism and Jihad" (JTJ)
Oct. 2004 Tanẓīm Qāʻidat al-Jihād fī Bilād al-Rāfidayn, "The Organization of Jihad's Base in the Country of the Two Rivers" and described by the West as "Al-Qaeda in Iraq" (AQI)
Jan. 2006 "Mujahideen Shura Council"
Oct. 2006 Dawlat al-ʻIraq al-Islāmīyah, "Islamic State of Iraq" (ISI)
Apr. 2013 "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant", also known as "Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham" (ISIL/ISIS)
June 2014 "Islamic State" (IS)
The last name change to piss of the US who had decided to settle on calling them ISIL in May 2014 (that reason's probably not strictly true!)
If nothing else, at least they're keeping their stationers in work reprinting letter-heads for them at regular intervals!
