World rebrands ISIS as Daesh. Daesh is a “loose acronym” for “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (al-Dawla al-Islamiya al-Iraq al-Sham). The name is commonly used by enemies of ISIS, and it also has many negative undertones, as Daesh sounds similar to the Arabic words Daes (“one who crushes something underfoot”) and Dahes (“one who sows discord”).“In the plural form – ‘daw’aish’ – it means bigots who impose their views on others.” Samantha Rollins The Week theGuardian
