Is it acceptable to call them the "Muslamic State" to make fun of them?

Or is that offensive to non jihadis?

I'm pretty sure they'd re-appropriate "muslamic rayguns" if they were better at social media

coincidentally are they hiring

It's very funny I guess if I named my terrorist group "The Cool Guys" they'd have to do the same thing

They're not officially recognized as a state though, so in terms of reporting that's the correct way to do it probably.

Kind of like Tibet probably considers itself a separate state but China gets to veto that opinion because they have bigass tanks and poo poo.

OP is dumb. News is all about interpretational sovereignty. Ofc everyone will call it "so callEd" because we are all the enemies of IS and will never ever respect anything this "so called" nation does. OP needs a talk in a dark room with some cia dudes, gotta find out how close his ties to terrorism are! With love the west <3

I vote for walls. Let's build a wall around all the gimp extremist countries. We need a job program anyways to boost the economy and the fuckers can stay in their religous wonderland and pray to rats or something. I want that wall from WWZ. It wasnt high enough for zombies but thats okay...


Walls are the solution to everything

Remember the good old days when hellfire missiles were valued for their ability to utterly cleave through tank armour? After all, they were meant to get through the best reactive uranium-tungsten-composite plate the communists could reverse-engineer from us. Yeah, turns out they can still do that. Turns out also that "made in China" still means "made in China" too. And "bigass tank" means "bigass target".

Too bad Tibet doesn't have any oil.

If Russia was able to keep the rest of the world from intervening in Syria, what makes you think the US would actually risk a direct confrontation with a nuclear power, even assuming we wanted to send our economy into a nosedive over it

Nourra by name, made a most favourable impression upon me. Of middle height, still young, built like a Hercules, with fair hair and violet eyes; he had a slightly turned up nose, while his features were somewhat of a Finnish cast. Like all horsemen, he walked with his toes in. His body was striped with scars, ploughed by bayonet wounds and bullets. Although he belonged to the conquered part of the Caucasus, he had joined the rebels, with whom he used to make continual incursions into our territory. Every one liked him in the prison by reason of his gaiety and affability. He worked without murmuring, always calm and peaceful. Thieving, cheating, and drunkenness filled him with disgust, or put him in a rage—not that he wished to quarrel with any one; he simply turned away with indignation. During his confinement he committed no breach of the rules. Fervently pious, he said his prayers religiously every evening, observed all the Mohammedan fasts like a true fanatic, and passed whole nights in prayer. Every one liked him, and looked upon him as a thoroughly honest man. "Nourra is a lion," said the convicts; and the name of "Lion" stuck to him. He was quite convinced that as soon as he had finished his sentence he would be sent to the Caucasus. Indeed, he only lived by this hope, and I believe he would have died had he been deprived of it. I noticed it the very day of my arrival. How was it possible not to distinguish this calm, honest face in the midst of so many sombre, sardonic, repulsive countenances!

This has been going on for loving decades if not centuries.
The only reason you know of these is because its the BIG BAD SCARY ISIS that did it. Whole towns and villiages have been wiped out every few weeks by similar Islamic nut jobs in Africa and no one gives a flying gently caress. Remember those 200 school girls kidnapped? That was soooooo last season.

realtalk: yes any action taken against isis is entirely based on protecting the interests of capitalism in the mid-east region and has nothing whatever to do with humanitarian inititatives. but if the best we can ask for is that innocent people are protected as an incidental side-effect of, or politically expedient justification for capital protecting its own interests then... i'll take it
