For the reason of shifting political discourse from intertwining the concept of Islamic faith with terrorism, the US government should cease to refer to the self-declared Islamic State as ISIS and instead, refer to the group as Daesh, a name that correctly assigns disapproval towards an atrocious group backed by extremism and bigotry. France has already declared its preference towards the name Daesh in the past year. We should stand by our allies and also continue with this transition in discourse.
