→ISIS vs ISIL vs Daesh vs Islamic State: new section
While I think you are correct to remove the attack JoeyJ but I am not sure it was not related to ISIS. [https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/756555995011162112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] ISIS has called for lone wolf attacks and praised the body count yet has not taken credit like they normally do. German officials are eager not to share details as well. What are your thoughts? --Jpatt 08:29, 3 October 2016 (EDT)

:There is not a single note that confirms that the attack was commited by the Islamic State. It is not even known whether the assassin was a muslim. The investigation has resulted that the shooting was a rampage and not a terrorist attack. --[[User:JoeyJ|JoeyJ]] ([[User talk:JoeyJ|talk]]) 13:30, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

== ISIS vs ISIL vs Daesh vs Islamic State ==
To clarify, ISIS stands for "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria"; ISIL stands for "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (this is the technically more correct term, since the Levant refers to Syria and Lebanon, and ISIS had territory in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.) "Daesh" is a well-earned insult against them, but many native English speakers have a hard time pronouncing the word ''Daesh''. ISIS/ISIL/Daesh prefers to be called "The Islamic State" because statehood gives them (undeserved) respectability.
Point being, I would argue ISIL is the most accurate term to describe this terrorist group for the reasons above. What is the current consensus?
