I remember hearing a British man who went to fight for ISIS saying we would never win this fight because they love death more than we love life.

Of course he's a flipping idiot. They use their own people as missiles to deliver their bombs. Seems like a bad way to win a war.

Second: Adams has been pretty good at predicting things lately...

While the name "loser" may not mean much to anyone here, because I'm sure they've been called that name several times in their lives, people like the little girly ISIS pukes have meltdowns over being called things less 'hurtful' than "losers".
Call them Daesh. They've sworn to cut out the tongue of anyone using it which is precisely why I do so whenever I refer to them. .

Here, Katy, I thought this would interest you. It's an article on the meaning of Daesh.

That was an interesting article. I loved the part where it said if an organization wanted to be called "the light" but they are really the darkness, why would you then call them the light? That's the whole argument boiled down into one sentence.

But considering Daesh recruits in the west, then an English rebranding could be effective too. Maybe Daesh won't care, but their potential recruits will.

I thought you would appreciate that. You're welcome! An English rebranding is possible, but daesh seems to be pretty universal. If I can use it to troll them, that's good enough for me. I've thought of trying to find one of their Twitter accounts that haven't been shut down yet and be all like "Hi Daesh!" but I haven't really looked.

Yes, but the lone wolf recruits in the west may understand it's insulting in Arabic, but they don't really understand why. They would understand a derogatory English name though, so the Loser label may just be the ticket. It rolls off the tongue, it's true, and not many young men want to be considered losers.

Come on, Three Wolves, you are smarter than that.
I didn't say "deterred". Please point out in my post where I said, "deterred".

Oh, you didn't find it? Yeah, because I didn't say it. Stop making up what I said and then arguing that which you just made up.

It is a good name to call them. They act like little biatches if you even draw a cartoon about their fake prophet, so a name that clearly shows that there's zero respect behind it would absolutely bother them.

It's like that comedian who once compared how George Bush said Saddam's name vs how it is actually pronounced. How Bush said it was definitely mocking. Sad am. Not Suh dohm. These little things matter to these whiners.

Really! Then I will call them "loser Daesh". But you see, JAMS, this is what I'm talking about, and I'm sure what Adams is getting at. Little things like this bug the crap out of these pansies.

I don't care if it bothers them. Actually, I hope it does. F them.

It bothers them greatly. How else can you shame a group of people who bury people alive and cut people's heads off and places them on pikes, and videotapes these acts as recruitment material? A group that inspires people to kill masses of people for no discernible benefit except terror? A group that takes credit for acts of carnage whether they did it or not?

Calling people like that murderers won't shame them. For damn sure calling them the Islamic State won't shame them. They want to be called a state. It implies that they are important when they're not. Call them Daesh or losers because that's what they hate, and what they actually are. And then continue to isolate them and make recruitment harder by treating them with the contempt they deserve.
