Each time they invade another country, they need a reason, an enemy to justify their actions. Forgetting for a moment that the enemy is anyone who shoots back, the name given can't be associated with the people that rise up to defend their nation, they have to be called something else.
So Taliban won't work for Syria, they're the "enemy" in Afghanistan.
If the US is fighting inside a country the enemy are called insurgents, if the US is supporting an insurgency to conquer a nation they are called rebels.

Yah, a different state than Syria, the real goal of the lies and subterfuge is to conquer Syria (which oh by the way, is a State and primarily Muslim).
No what i mean is that ISIS actually view themselves as a state just like Syria or France is a state. They believe they have created a sovereign state.
Jihadi Who?
