Isn't "Islamic State" what they call themselves though? In doing so, hey're making a mockery of all the Muslim blood they spilled, but I don't think referring to them as Islamic State is inherently islamophobic? IS is probably a good compromise, although I think ISIS is what the media labeled them and what's ultimately going to stick anyways.

Every dictator or militia has used religious or patriotic names to call themselves. Even Hitler was part of the “National Socialist German Workers’ Party” but everyone knew them as Nazi’s.
Socialists are not marred because of Hitler, nor did he necessarily fulfill what people consider Socialism to begin with.
ISIS can call themselves what they want, but the entire Muslim population of the world shouldn’t have to be constantly mentioned in the same breath. Media outlets make a very big point to include Islamic or Muslim or Shariah or other coined terms with different meanings to Muslims to vilify them as a whole with these groups.
When you think KKK or WestBoro Church or any of the thousands of Christian influenced Militias in this country we don’t hear the word “Christianity” or Christians being vilified in the same sentence.
Why isn’t this sensitivity lent to Muslims as well? Westboro is a Baptist Church, but unless you researched that you will never know that. No Baptist out there is apologizing that they are not Baptist.
That’s my point. They could just call them ISIS, but everyone makes a point to say “Islamic state” as if the Islamic state in itself is a bad thing and not the actions of these men.

Someone needs to staple this dude’s castle into the ground and start taxing the fuck out him.
it understood there was water in there…and exactly how to get the water out….it just couldn’t do it alone…hot damn they are fucking smart
This crow would have grown up in that area, watching people with bottles. It would have observed them opening the cap, and the water flowing out. Crows are incredibly intelligent, and this further proves the fact that it connected that without that lid water would be available.

HAPPENING NOW (9.24.14): The situation in Ferguson is escalating quickly. Protests continue, following this morning’s burning of a Mike Brown memorial, and another frustrating Ferguson City Council meeting.Looks like the same “antagonize over de-escalate” tactics are back online. Prayers to all those out in the street of Ferguson right now fighting for their right to exist. #staywoke #farfromover (PT I, PT II, PT III)
Bringing back the dogs, choppers, charging the crowd, attempting to bottleneck protesters into an area, AND live shots possible fired into the crowd… what the ever-living fuck is Ferguson PD trying to do?! We’re a month and a half into this saga, and they still don’t know how to de-escalate a situation. Pray y’all. That might be all we got right now.
