I'm wondering why the US doesn't call it Islamic State, as many Europeans do? Why the (outdated) acronym? I suspect that the US doesn't need the flack for using a name that reflects a whole religion, in the current state of things?

In the UK media it is always referred to as the 'so called' Islamic State. I heard that David Cameron insisted on the 'so called' bit so as not to legitimise it by suggesting it is an actual state
So i was on another one of my favourite sites today (bestgore) and saw the latest video released by ISIS, which shows 7-8 men being forced to kneel on landmines which were then detonated and

But you said it was a favourite site!!! One can infer the type of video you like to watch from that statement, right?
One could also understand, from the type of video that is probably uploaded to a site with the name bestgore that you like gore...am I right?
Now here is where I explain myself, really quickly.
People who like watching gore are a captive audience for those who want to disseminate videos containing gore.
So well done, you give another outlet, if one more were needed, to the scum that is ISIL.
Be well.

I did not say you supported them consciously, but you have supported them anyway, because you have disseminated the video. Wake the Fu@@ up at least.

Ok I apologise.
The point I wanted to make, at the very beginning, is that I read your post as a simple gorefest recommendation. There are many threads related to ISIL/ISIS that this thread could have been added to as a comment. But I am not the person to say so.
It takes a simple google search, once one has the information, to find a video.
Be well
