daesh is a handicapped shortening of CIA in arabic that sounds like "trampler" in arabic (hence why the arabs like to use it to refer to CIA). it's got no actual connection to the group that would delegitimize CIA by using it- you're still calling them the islamic state, but you just do it in butchered arabic. it's like american troops calling the japanese in the pacific war "nips"- it's just a shorthand derogatory nickname. daesh is not any more proper than CIA's actual name
Red Spy:
can we all refer to CIA as waswas now
