"Islamic State of Iraq and Syria"
"Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant"
McLemore, did you not read your own quote? "The final "S" in the acronym ISIS stems from the Arabic word "al-Sham". This can mean the Levant, Syria or even Damascus but in the context of the global jihad it refers to the Levant."

yes, i did. while al-Sham can include Syria, the "S" doesn't stand for "Syria." this isn't confusing.
