بلاد الياسمين Jasmine country

Its name was Jasmine country, and became the home of buttercups
in both cases there is a flower bow down from heaven... To kisses her cheeks in all humility

كان اسمها بلاد الياسمين ،وأصبحت موطن شقائق النعمان

وفي الحالتين فهناك زهرة تنحني من السماء ..

لتٌقبل وجنتيها بكل خشوع

DAESH leadership finally unmasked

The terrorists who are killing civilians, raping and forcing captured women into sexual slavery, and beheading foreigners in Iraq and Syria are known by several names: the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS; the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL; and, more recently, the Islamic State, or IS. French officials recently declared that that country would stop using any of those names and instead refer to the group as “Daesh.”
The term “Daesh” is strategically a better choice because it is still accurate in that it spells out the acronym of the group’s full Arabic name, al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham. Yet, at the same time, “Daesh” can also be understood as a play on words — and an insult. Depending on how it is conjugated in Arabic, it can mean anything from “to trample down and crush” to “a bigot who imposes his view on others.” Already, the group has reportedly threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone who uses the term.
