ISIS isn't a religious faction/nationality. It is religiously inclined political faction. Which means that the key here is "political". And if we say "ISIS is hostile to us" that means the fact that a country called ISIS (I hate the term quasi-country, it just screams "We decide who can be called a country and who can not") is planning to expand and attach U.S., EU and Russia. Especially since, you know, both NATO and RF bomb them.

Tomato, Tomahto, that is a huge ugly debate of another kind. For many it represents a nation that is full of a sect/cult of a specific religion... hence the term faction. It is just semantics to say otherwise and for many the term is used in a political sense, on both sides of the coin, to use that label.
People call all cola products coke but they are not, but they still all are what they really meant which is just a cola product. In US when I order a coke and get corrected that it is in fact Pepsi or RC, my reaction is always... whatever as is most people's (except Ba'al he swears by his coke). This is what I saw as a bartender for years. People just don't care, they still call it coke. I hope you get what I am saying. Most people use the term ISIS and mean entirely different from what it is, and to be blunt, they don't care either. I am not stating it is right or wrong either, it just is.
We live in the world of PC happy happy joy joy rainbow pink unicorns land now. You can in fact create a group of people and say you all worship purple bow ties. Have a building and call it your temple and make all members eat 15 cheeseburgers a day. Now, If I slam said purple bow tie worshipers for being such silly purple crazies, this would be hate speech. I recently did a survey where the researchers were studying how people wearing tatoos are now being discriminated against. I kid you the hell not. I almost spit when I read that. Body art wearers are now trying to be considered a protected class. What pure and utter bullshit. Welcome to planet Earth 2015.

Still better than Earth 2150 if you ask me. And far, far better than Earth: Year 2066! (Yet another Steam Early Access fail.) |

Then again, Earth 2150 at least had honesty:

wishing someone dead may not be a hate speech, but its ridiculously immature and being a complete dick. Get some perspective, this is a failed game not a war zone. Build a bridge, and get over it. You'll be happier.
