As opposed to radical Islam as I may be, and as offensive as I find many Islamic dogmas to be, I would never lie to try to either discredit Islam or attack Muslims or people who do not hate Muslims. But Pamela Geller, a right-wing extremist who would have been at home in the John Bitch [pun intended] Society of the 1950s (when it accused President Eisenhower of being under Communist influence), would lie and in the worst way.
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/pamela-geller-obama-says-isil-deceive-and-disarm-americans
Anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller believes that President Obama and other administration officials use the translation “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” (ISIL) instead of “Islamic State of Iraq and Syria” (ISIS) to describe the Middle Eastern extremist group because he wants to trick Americans who don’t know what or where the Levant is. After telling conservative talk show host Janet Mefferd yesterday that Obama aided Islamic extremists, Geller alleged that the president is trying to trick the American people by using the translation “ISIL.”
“He says ‘ISIL,’ and why ‘ISIL’ over ‘ISIS’? In my opinion, because it’s to distract, dissemble, deceive and disarm the American people,” Geller said. “The Islamic State of Levant, if anyone looks it up they see Levant and they are like, ‘What’s Levant?’ He knows this.”
If Geller’s analysis is correct, she has also been aiding the group, as she has regularly used the terms “ISIL” and “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” on her blog Atlas Shrugs, where she repeatedly wrote that ISIL, and not ISIS, is the correct name for the group:
The media had amended the name of the Islamic army tearing through Syria and Iraq to ISIS (Islamic State of Syria and Iraq). But the correct name is ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant). What is the the Levant? The geographical area they mean to rule. The Levant includes Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Cyprus and parts of Turkey.
What else can she say wrong? How about:
Bush had close to 50 countries in his “Coalition of the Willing.”
Obama has so alienated and abandoned our allies, he has no one.
He is sending Hagel to Turkey to build a coalition to fight the Islamic State.
Note to Obama: Turkey is supporting the Islamic State.
But he knows this, too. Obama says he has no strategy to defeat ISIS. He doesn’t because he has provided tacit support for the Islamic State — especially in Syria.
Really? Is there any evidence for ANY of those above assertions? If not, why make them? Oh, because when it comes to Muslims or those who do not hate Muslims as much as Geller does, honor and truthfulness are not issues, are they?
And how seriously can you take someone who names her blog after one of the most notorious writings of the extremist loon Ayn Rand?
To see what kind of people take that nutcase seriously, just listen to this:

I agree with you, Dale! Good site! I’ll read some of these posts over time.

“Longtime readers who are deeply familiar with my work know that I am a fiercely proud Jew and unapologetic Zionist. As long as I have known Steve, he has been an unabashed supporter of Israel, and of those of us who fight against Jew-hatred and racism. Unequivocally.”
Change the words around to say:
“Longtime readers who are deeply familiar with my work know that I am a fiercely proud Muslim and unapologetic Jihadist. As long as I have known Osama, he has been an unabashed supporter of the Islamic State, and of those of us who fight against Islamophobia and racism. Unequivocally.”
How do they sound now?
BTW, another thing she claims there is:
“The [ Southern Poverty Law Center] is a well-funded group that works furiously to silence dissent and impose a totalitarian straitjacket on the public discourse on these issues, only allowing voices that toe their propaganda line about Islam being a religion of peace and Muslims as the victims, rather than the perpetrators, of terrorism.”
Note to Ms. Geller: Criticism is not censorship. You constantly criticize Islam and Muslims and that religion is still legal in the USA…..at least so far. Your use of loaded and misleading language is another issue I have against you.
Another of her lies:
“Now the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is claiming that he is anti-Semitic? What?”
What the ADL actually said about the matter:

{{{We are not aware of any anti-Semitic statements from Bannon.
While there is a long fact pattern of evidence that Breitbart served as a platform for a wide range of bigotry and there is some controversy related to statements from Mr. Bannon’s divorce proceedings in 2007, we are not aware of any anti-Semitic statements made by Bannon himself. In fact, Jewish employees of Breitbart have challenged the characterization of him and defended him from charges of anti-Semitism. Some have pointed out that Breitbart Jerusalem was launched during his tenure.
Nevertheless, Bannon essentially has established himself as the chief curator for the alt right. Under his stewardship, Breitbart has emerged as the leading source for the extreme views of a vocal minority who peddle bigotry and promote hate.}}}

Wholeheartedly agree with you. If I only had a dollar for every time I exposed the false and fake news Pamela had posted on her website…
