This is ridiculous beyond words. ISIS considers "Daesh" to be a derogatory term for them, and subjects people who dare to utter it to horrific punishments:
"Of greater relevance is Daesh, an acronym of ISIL's Arabic name al-Dawlah al-Islamīyah fī al-ʻIrāq wa-al-Shām. Daesh, or Da'ish, has been widely used by ISIL's Arabic-speaking detractors, although – and to a certain extent because – it is considered derogatory, as it resembles the Arabic words Daes (lit. "one who crushes, or tramples down, something underfoot") and Dāhis (loosely translated: "one who sows discord"). Within areas under its control, ISIL considers use of the acronym Daesh punishable by flogging or cutting out the tongue."[1]
A supporter of theirs, or someone who wanted to "praise" them, wouldn't call them by that name.

It's still a stupid thing to do, given what's happened in that country -- and roughly analogous to yelling "Fire!" in a crowded movie theatre.
