Some truth to that but it's an overstatement, it isn't that bad from what I've seen.
Interesting side note, you know how the BBC always called ISIS, the Islamic State but virtually never uses 'Daesh'? Almost like they don't want to offend them.
In the papers in the UAE they are almost exclusively referred to as Daesh. I always find it fascinating reading their newspapers, most illuminating. Before I steam into the lagers and mojitos at the swim up bar, of course.
