ISIS / IS / ISIL / The Islamic State

This really isn't worth bothering with. The reports of Ozalp's suicide took social media by storm in Turkey but couldn't be independently verified by the outlets reporting it, which means it may not be true, especially as conflicting reports say she never left Jezaa, which begs the question why they bothered reporting the claims in the first place...

Geller is the "...founder, editor and publisher of Atlas Shrugs.com and President of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and Stop Islamization of America (SIOA)".

She co-founded the 'Freedom Defense Initiative' and 'Stop Islamization of America': organisations labelled hate groups by UK government officials, who barred Geller's entry to the UK last year.

She has been given awards from such luminaries as the Creative Zionist Coalition who gave her the Queen Esther Award for Jewish Heroism and the Annie Taylor Award for Courage in 2010 from the far right David Horowitz Freedom Center. So is she a far right Zionist? Quite possibly. Can you trust anything she writes about anything to do with this whole subject? I'd argue not given her clearly vested interests.

Despite the name, Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. There is nothing in Islam that says do what they do, in fact it condemns it. The generally accepted definition of Islamist is someone who adheres to political Islam - i.e. they believe Islam should guide social, political and personal action. This is completely different to IS and it's completely unsurprising that Geller is busy conflating the two things.

The comments on the article are therefore somewhat unsurprising.
