A bad name for a terror group: ISIS
A shame that terror group calls itself ISIS (even if that is an abbr. that stand for their programmatic goal); that goddess (!) was identified with cattle and the sanctity of life according to Plutarch [1] and the general canon as far as I am aware.

(Plutarch, Moralia, 39,1).
The cow-headed Isis pouring out a libation in honor of the soul of Osiris, which rises in the form of a man-headed hawk from the plants growing in a sacred lake. From the bas-relief at Philae. http://www.sacred-texts.com/egy/efl/efl03.htm
