Is it ISIS or ISIL ?

The Sinister Difference Between "ISIS" and "ISIL" 

Here is an explanation of the difference between 

the terms ISIS and ISIL. 

I have been suspicious of the term ISIL to which 

the administration stubbornly clings. 

ISIS = Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.  Iraq is 

to the east of Jordan (shaped like the hatchet) 

and Syria is to the north. 

ISIL = Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.  Iraq 

is still to the east of Jordan, and "the Levant" is 

a term that comes from "the rising (of the sun, i.e., 

to the east)" - and is basically the land along the 

Mediterranean - that includes Lebanon, Israel, and 

those countries along there.

By saying ISIL, you negate Israel as its own country 

and lump it in with the rest of the countries along 

the Mediterranean - and Israel sort of disappears 

loses its sovereignty) and becomes part of "the Levant"

- which is therefore part of ISIL.

If you've wondered, as I have, why all government 

agencies and especially BHO calls it ISIL and even 

spells it out every time it's used, instead of ISIS as 

the rest of the world here's the answer.

Decoding Obama's speech reveals some startling 

revelations.  In one press conference after another, 

when referring to the Muslim terror super-group 
ISIS, United States President Barack Obama will use the 

term ISIL, instead of their former name ISIS, or current 

name Islamic State.

Have you ever wondered about that?  Here is the 

difference:

What makes up the near exact center of the Muslim 

Levant?  Israel.  ISIL stands for the Islamic State of 

Iraq and Levant. 

Now, to us Westerners we don't really make much of a 

distinction, do we?  No, honestly from our perspective 

it's all about the same.  But how would a Muslim 
living in the Middle East view it?

Just what is the Levant anyway? Let's take a look.

The geographical term LEVANT refers to a multi-nation 

region in the Middle East.  It's a land bridge between 

Turkey to the north and Egypt to the south.

If you look on a map, however, in the near exact middle 

of the nations that comprise the Levant, guess what you 

see? Come on, guess!  It's Israel.

****When Barack Obama refers over and over to the Islamic 

State as ISIL, he is sending a message to Muslims all 

over the Middle East, that he personally does not 

recognize Israel as a sovereign nation, but as 

territory belonging to the Islamic State.

Now you know why Obama says that he has no plan, no 

goal, and no stated aim for dealing with ISIS.  But he 

does have a plan, and it's a really nasty, diabolical 

one.  Obama's plan is to drag his feet for as long as 

he can, doing only the bare minimum that Congress 

forces him to do.  His plan to buy ISIL as much time as 

possible to make as many gains as they can.

Listen as Obama and his press secretary and the 

spokesperson for the State Department and his Joint 

Chiefs of Staff painstakingly spells out the letters 

I-S-I-L so there is no doubt in your mind.

And it's working.

The Islamic State has garnered millions of dollars, a 

vast cache of weapons, and in their latest foray have 

captured Syrian fighter jets and now 12 commercial 

passenger planes.  With each passing day that Obama 

fulfills his stated aim of doing nothing, the Islamic 
State grows by leaps and bounds. The ultimate goal, of 

course, has not changed and will never change.

The ultimate goal is the destruction of Israel.

Now you know a little bit more about why Obama chooses 

his words so carefully.

"A Jew who votes for Obama is like a chicken who votes 

for Col. Sanders."
