File under: Islamic State

#1 The strategy is simple: Draw in the world's great superpower, create the ultimate foil and thus instantly achieve supreme stature in radical Islam as America's nemesis.

Difficult to employ this strategy if they cease to exist. IMO Many Muslims would like to see the threat of ISIS go away.

#2 The problem with Islam is that the great mass of Moslems do not differentiate between the pronouncements of a well educated scholar and some ignorant, illiterate goat-herding Imam. Hence, with their cultural paranoia cultivated by the Quran, Moslems have been cultivated by their leadership since WWII to knee jerk on anything smacking of Western interference.

The best and brightest of Islam can cheer for the death of ISIL and one degenerate toothless goon can issue a fatwa against the US bombing ISIL and you will have riots in the streets of London in favor of ISIL.

#3 The Muslims are already protesting the U.S. presence in Iraq and the so-called intervention regarding ISIS. We should give them something to really bitch about.

The problem with Islam is that the great mass of Moslems do not differentiate between the pronouncements of a well educated scholar and some ignorant, illiterate goat-herding Imam.

To be fair, there is no difference between them.
