In Arabic, the group is known as Al-Dawla Al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham, or the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. The term “al-Sham” refers to a region stretching from southern Turkey through Syria to Egypt (also including Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian territories and Jordan). The group’s stated goal is to restore an Islamic state, or caliphate, in this entire area.
Actually that is very close to what was once referred to as the Ottoman Empire. Which also conquered southeastern Europe, while the Moors (north African muslims) conquered southwestern Europe, which precipitated the "_______". You fill in the blank. See 0bama is right Christians are just as bad as cult of violence terrorists. Whoever they may be?

So it seems that the proper acronym in English of their stated goal would actually be ISIL.
I wonder if the muslim in the white house is in total agreement even possibly complicit with their stated goal.
Oh! he has a coalition against ISIL, 3 or 4 countries as opposed to Bush's 47 or so, but, I keep forgetting Bush was the worst President ever.
