That Awkward Moment When Even The French Make Obama Look WEAK *David Rufful <http://www.youngcons.com/author/david-rufful/>* *September 20, 2014* Mail <?subject=Found%20on%20YoungCons.com&body=http://www.youngcons.com/that-awkward-moment-when-even-the-french-make-obama-look-weak/> [image: Description: Description: France President François Hollande] <http://i1.wp.com/www.youngcons.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/France-President-Fran-ois-008.jpg> The Islamic State terrorists apparently hate the name “Daesh” and vow to cut out the tongue of anyone who uses the name, saying it shows disrespect and defiance. They say the term is derogatory and insulting. Anyways, this week France announced <http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2014/09/19/france-abandons-the-islamic-state-name-and-starts-calling-the-terror-group-something-that-they-hate/> that moving forward they will only refer to the terrorists as “Daesh.” “This is a terrorist group and not a state,” Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said last week, according to France 24. “I do not recommend using the term Islamic State because it blurs the lines between Islam, Muslims and Islamists. The Arabs call it ‘Daesh’ and I will be calling them the ‘Daesh cutthroats.’ ” So what does “Daesh” mean? According to France24, it is a loose acronym of the Arabic for “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham). However, the term is also one of defiance and disrespect. It is also considered insulting, and the IS (Islamic State) itself doesn’t like the name Daesh one bit. Beyond the acronym, “Daesh” sounds lie the Arabic “Daes”, meaning “one who crushes something underfoot” as well as “Dahes”, which means “one who sows discord”. Dahes is also a reference to the Dahes wal Ghabra period of chaos and warfare between Arab tribes which is famous in the Arab world as one of the precursors of the Muslim age. “Daesh” therefore has considerably negative undertones. There can be little political ambiguity behind the French government’s decision to deploy Daesh as a linguistic weapon. Meanwhile, the devastating effects of Obama’s foreign policy continue to unfold in Iraq and around the world. __._,_.___ ------------------------------ Posted by: "Beowulf" <[email protected]> ------------------------------ Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/grendelreport/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZ3BhaXNiBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzIwMTk0ODA2BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTMyMzY2NwRzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzE0NTM5NDMxNDQ-> [image: Yahoo!
