Talk:Islamic State

Most of the media is still calling this group "ISIS". See Fox News. or Wall Street Journal The name "Islamic State" is confusingly similar to "Islamic state," i.e. the generic concept of a state based on Islam. PeterKa 09:59, 6 August 2014 (EDT)

But the correct new name is Islamic State.--JoeyJ 10:16, 6 August 2014 (EDT)

The name is how a subject is commonly referred to. If the publications everyone reads are calling it by a particular term, that's the "correct name." AP is calling it "the Islamic State group," although I don't think that's likely to catch on. PeterKa 20:03, 6 August 2014 (EDT)
