    That's just daft giving into that after all that time.
    Few places here that use the name Isis .
    Isis Trading Estate

    The River Thames in Oxford is called the Isis.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Isis
    The Isis is the name given to the part of the River Thames above Iffley Lock which flows through the university city of Oxford, England, past Christ Church Meadow and the focal point of rowing for Oxford University.

    I see Isis chocolate has a WW1 range.

    They apparently thought twice about changing an old brand, but sales went down

    In fact the Isis name is totally wrong and the media should change it :

    1) It acknowledges the occupied areas are actually a state whereas nobody has even recognised the zone as such .
    2) The occupied zone is not only in Syria

    In Europe many diplomats now use the Word Daesh which is the translation of the arabic word "ISIL" .This term is hated by Islamists because it occults the word "Islamic".
