      Even the Islamic State has never called themselves ISIS.

      First of all, they would use Arabic. Secondly, their full name translates more appropriately to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Levant is a geographical and historical region that roughly overlaps with what we call Syria today, but is not quite the same. So the better translated acronym would be ISIL. ISIS is a sloppy attempt at westernization.

    It used to be a goddess, now she has some completely different relationships with religion.

        I meant it more like the name “Isis” and it’s place in social imagery, I know nothing about the character nor the actress.

          Oh okay, actually the modern usage would be more accurately “I. S. I. S”, as opposed to a real name… I knew very little about the actress or the goddess when I saw that series as a kid… All I knew was that between her and Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) I was having my early exposure to female anatomy and it’s effects on me 😂
