Erdogan attempts to re-brand IS
During his recent trip to France, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would no longer use the term ISIS [also known as IS, or the Islamic State] but Deash [also called Daesh]. He offered the following explanation: “Some want to portray [the group] as an Islamic terrorist organization. A religion, which means peace, can never sanction terrorism. Mind you, I’m not using ‘ISIS’ because it is a terrorist organization.”
