Why the preference for referring to them as Daesh?

Constable_Savage in reply to @croft

In Arabic word-play it is a derogatory term which Daesh really don't like. Anything which makes Daesh a little less in charge of there own name is destabilising and a good thing. The BBC are a little slow to take it up but Cameron suddenly loves using it.
