Prime Minister of Australia calls ISIS by a name it absolutly hates (Daesh)
« on: January 12, 2015, 04:28:31 PM »
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has begun to use the word Daesh instead of ISIS as he believes Islamic State of Iraq and Syria gives it legitimacy it doesn't deserve.   And that they hate to be called by that term.

I doubt that we'll ever have another president with the willingness to step outside the PC box.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Yeah, all well and good...but it is not a proxy for action.  If you really want to piss them off, call them what they are - Earthbound trash that follows the Incubus Mohammad, that'll get their attention.  Then tell them you plan to eliminate all of their kind from the face of the Earth...and then proceed to do it.  Otherwise your're just jerking off!

I'm surprised the Aussies have a PM doing it.
