#1 So does he really believe this? Or is he pissed that the caliphate is not in soddy and he will lose power. Or is he just hoping to play both sides against the middle? I have not trust in anything he or any of them say.

#2 Sure are a whole lot of "folks" who seem to disagree with him. Every day they disagree. Terrorism seems to be the normal face of Islam. It is certainly the most prominent. Funny we haven't heard from this fellow before now.

#5 He's almost 13 years late - I believe there were several of his co-religionists in the Twin Towers.

#6 Note he is saying it is only terrorism when applied to other mooselimbs.

Infidels are still prime targets apparently.

#8 "Terrorism has no place in Islam"...but taqqiya is a cornerstone.

#9 ISIS apparently has something like 65,000 members and growing -- it's hard to tell, as they won't hold still long enough for accuracy, and jihadis are notorious for an inability to count above five (can't use the left hand for such things, after all)

So in converting from base 5 to base 10, that would mean around 4375 members? ;)

#10 As soon as some serious opposition occurs with actually effective airstrikes, ISIS will scatter. So 2-4 years from now at best guess. Until then enjoy the shocked faces of your neighbors when they finally get what you've been trying to tell them.

#11 Islam is completely evil and it must be destroyed.

#12 65,000? They must bunch up somewhere. Our equipment shouldn't be too hard to spot.

#13 Targets of opportunity. Take them out.

#14 He probably figures the masses will ignore the memo.

#15 So now that the Soddies have spoken out against ISIS, out president can follow their lead and condemn them.

#16 *blush* Thank you, KBK. I had a bit of fun.

Procopius2k, the fact that their base five number is the impossible 65,000 is a neat demonstration of their math skills, and so I wouldn't dare try to draw conclusions as to the real number. But your (base 10) 4,375 would make me very, very happy.

#17 Har, he just did. Hilarious.

Also a twit out there about Barry stating no religion teaches people to massacre innocents.

LOL, not because that statement is total Bull, but because it came from @whitehouse.

#18 Either he has seen the signs and realizes that the west may have had enough of Islam, or he has simply redefined terrorism.
