<p>Hi George,<br />Thanks tons for the edits and I am sorry I made you work on the weekend (I couldn't see more than a two-day turnout option).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Daesh is the acronym in Arabic for ISIS, but earlier last year they demanded to be called the Islamic State, to indicate its borderless nature, rather than ISIL (Iraq and Levantine). I know President Obama calls it ISIL, but I prefer to call it just simply what they are, IS.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As for this edited prospectus, I am not sure how good are my research questions or whether it will become a real one in the future. I know that for my IS paper, the prof. was nervous and discouraging to pursue it in the direction I proposed and he suggested I don't focus on Islam as being political or religion, and limit it to the state capacities...so that's what I am going to work on the next weeks besides the other paper about nationalism and the Arabism, which is also waiting to be okayed..</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Until then, thanks again and have a good night!</p>
