ISIS versus ISIL ‘If you choose to refer to this group as ISIL, you have basically rewritten the map of the Middle East & fallen into the trap of not recognizing the existence of Israel & also Lebanon. If you use ISIL you are then validating the Islamic totalitarian & jihadist claim that the modern day Jewish State of Israel is an occupation state & does not exist in the eyes of Muslims. We need to address this group as ISIS because it is seeking to establish an Islamic state within the borders of 2 recognized nation-states; Iraq & Syria. ISIS can attempt to break down any borders & not recognize them, but –we- must. We cannot allow this group to reestablish some 7th century regional caliphate & therefore must fight to reestablish sovereignty.’
