Unfortunate choice of name based on the world now. I am surprised they haven't pulled it.

That name is thousands of years older than the acronym adopted by that particular shower of oxygen wasters. It'll be around for long after they're incinerated by drone strikes.

Loads of stuff is named 'Isis'.

I'm sure the majority of people with half a brain in their head know that the two aren't connected.

I just hope a terrorist cell named Duggy doesn't rise from the ashes

Though if they keep raising the price of Toffee Crisps then I guess I'll have to take up the mantle and do stuff..............like knock over some bins and..............leave doors open on cold days.

The Isis is the name given to the River Thames above Iffley lock in Oxfordshire.

Some poor bookstore in Denver keeps getting vandalised because of morons who can't tell the difference as well!!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — A Denver-area store called Isis Books & Gifts wants the world to know its name comes from the Egyptian goddess of healing and motherhood and it isn't run by terrorists.

Co-owner Jeff Harrison said Wednesday that the suburban Denver shop has been vandalized five times in the past year or so, probably by people who mistake the name for ISIS, one of the acronyms for the Islamic State terrorist group.

The latest vandalism came last weekend when a store sign was smashed after the terrorist attacks in Paris that killed 129 people.

The store sells books and gifts related to spirituality, religion and healing.

Yes, and she was an Islamic extremist.

Wasn't there a guy in America kept getting beaten up because his name was Hal Nino (or something) after all the storm damage.

And then the Paediatrician in the UK who's house was surrounded by vigilanties because they thought she was a pedo.

No one ever went bust by underestimating people's stupidity.

Which is why Donald Trump actually stands a chance of being elected in Murica !!!!

(God help us all if that happens!)

Thinkingaboutit

We should stick with DAESH, the Arab acronym, which both is close to an Arab word for bigots, and sort of sounds like a common dog's name. Leave Egyptian goddesses out of it.

Reminds me very much of AYDS slimmimg supplements, which came out shortly before "AIDS".

AYDS didn't stand a chance as a brand name ...

Yeah, I wonder if that's why they killed him off.

Not only did they think a paediatrician was a pedo, they thought she went to the trouble to have a brass plaque made up and fixed to the front of her office, announcing her apparent attraction to children.

Stewpit people be stewpit.

The organisation known as ISIS don't like being called Daesh. Maybe we should refer to them as that instead...
