World leaders have started to use it, I assume the pronunciation is Day shh, so now we know what to call them.

Enough of this, what about a laugh?

TTT...it's pretty clear. You now have a new word that you can now accuse people of being friends of. Your favourite saying has been filtered so now you can accuse people left, right and centre of being Friends of Daesh...

ummmm
why was the original word filtered or starred.Was it obscene,insulting,if so to whom? I am at a loss what the word was.

is that what you meant by that? right why didn't you say so, the F0D is born! I thought you were berating me for having a go at Daesh/ISIS! I see I hadn't thought of creating a new TLA but you have opened my eyes! However I am not a plagiarist so you can have the royalties and repeat fees.

It's pronounced "Dash". As in, moving quickly. Sorry if someone has already pointed this out.

This could be a way for our political correct leaders to try and distance themselves from out and out condemnation of Islam.

First they dissuaded us from using the letters IS, because they said "there was no Islamic State", and now ISIS, Islamic State in Syria, for the same reason I presume.

I have a feeling that we both know why.
