How dumb...

If I were assigned to recruit fighters for ISIL, I would show a young Muslim these headlines copy/pasted from a Google search today:

US strikes Islamic State

US jets bomb Islamic State

US bombs Islamic State

US military: Drones destroy Islamic State vehicles

WASHINGTON: U.S. hits Islamic State

Salisbury News: U.S. warplanes attacked the Islamic State

U.S. expands airstrikes against Islamic State

US Air Force Jets Attack Islamic State

Islamic State bombed

U.S. Expands Airstrikes on Islamic State Targets

Islamic State attacked

Islamic State is Bombed

U.S. Aircraft Strike Islamic State

Indeed, just imagine a Muslim teenager reading this. What could inspire him for jihad more than these headlines, authenticity of which cannot be questioned as it was our own media disseminating this pro-Islamist propaganda.

Even while lacking Nobel Prizes in science, Muslims succeeded in smart propaganda.
They do not call Israel anything other than the Zionist entity. They do not call Palestinian Jews "Palestinians" but rather "Zionists". They call Palestinian Arabs "Palestinians," thus leaving little doubt as to who are the owners of Palestine (from the river to the sea).

And they call the enclave captured from Syria and Iraq the "Islamic State". What a brilliant move, making any enemy of the Islamic State an enemy of Islam!

And how stupid it is for us to play into their hands by calling them what they want us to call them. We could come up with any semi-derogatory title we want to make them look not Islamic, not as significant, not as attractive for young Muslims. And we failed. This failure alone will cost thousands of human lives if not our freedom.

Possible titles are copious. A few to consider are: TERROPHATE, RAPERS OF ISLAM, ISLAMOBANDITS, SADISLAMISTS…. You get the idea.

Why should we advertise for our enemy? For free... how dumb...
