It's DAESH, not ISIS

Dear Neophyte,

Ignorant people continue to vandalize businesses sporting the name of an Egyptian Goddess because the media is STILL using the wrong name to refer to a terrorist group. If you havn't heard by now, the group is called Daesh, NOT ISIS. Calling these terrorists a state (the second S in ISIS) is lending worldwide legitimacy to their acts of barbarism and brutality. I'm ashamed of anyone who keeps using the wrong name even when you know better.

News Story Here
To this point I am responding to EVERY meme I see using the incorrect term with "The name of the group is actually DAESH and calling them ISIS gives their terrorism political legitimacy.  By spreading around the name ISIS it's helping their cause."

So far one of my friends on facebook has completely stopped posting about Daesh since there are few memes which use the right name and he didn't even know that was that ISIS is the wrong name.

Salutations,
Sesh
