I avoided it for ages for the same reason, but power-watched it earlier this year. It's crude, but pretty funny
anyway, the crux of the matter is that he is a spy
and works for a spy agency
(this series has been around for 5-6 years)
the spy agency's name? ISIS.
I can't wait to see if they change it next season ;)
I've seen episode 1 of Flash, really enjoyed it, although the editing was a bit weird, I enjoyed the hero moments

lol
actually ISIS changed its name now..
ISIS => Islamic state of Iraq and Syria..
New name => Islamic state.. or something like that..

yeah, I've heard a lot of people complaining that we should stop calling it IS, as the actions are very 'unislamic'?
wait, so what was ISIL? Iraq and ... Lebanon?
 
MeNoTalk

ahh, Levant
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL /ˈaɪsəl/) also translated as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS /ˈaɪsɪs/; Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية في العراق والشام‎ ad-Dawlah al-Islāmīyah fīl-ʻIraq wa ash-Shām), also known by the Arabic acronym Daʿesh (داعش) and self-described as the Islamic State (IS; Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية‎ ad-Dawlah al-Islāmīyah) is a Sunni, Islamic extremist, anti-Shi'ist, unrecognized state in Iraq and Syria in the Middle East. The group originated as Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad in 1999. This group was the forerunner of Tanzim Qaidat al-Jihad fi Bilad al-Rafida...

Levant
In Arabic we call it "Sham", that's Levant...
Levant is Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon..
but, usually when we say "Levant" we mean Syria..

Mark Mayo

just mixing of languages

Q: Getting around to transfer in huge airports if you don't know English

danicrissHow can someone who doesn't know any international language get around in huge airports, if they need to transfer? I'm asking this because my mother-in-law wants to travel half the world to visit us, from Europe to New Zealand. She can't avoid at least 2 transfers in big international airports. ...

airport-transfer language-barrier
this is not really a duplicate imo
as the duplicate question is about dirrct travel to the specific country
also the accepted answer does not apply at all on this question
