| #5 Bit of history of John of Austria's war of ideas, from Wiki: "During the course of the battle, the Ottoman Commander's ship was boarded and the Spanish tercios from 3 galleys and the Ottoman Janissaries from seven galleys fought on the deck of the Sultana. Twice the Spanish were repelled with heavy casualties, but at the third attempt, with reinforcements from Álvaro de Bazán's galley, they took the ship. Müezzinzade Ali Pasha was killed and beheaded, against the wishes of Don Juan [John of Austria]. However, when his severed head was displayed on a pike from the Spanish flagship, it contributed greatly to the destruction of Turkish morale. Even after the battle had clearly turned against the Turks, groups of Janissaries still kept fighting with all they had. It is said that at some point the Janissaries ran out of weapons and started throwing oranges and lemons at their Christian adversaries, leading to awkward scenes of laughter among the general misery of battle." |

| #4 the only way to get rid of them is to win the war of ideas Yep. That's how Charles Martel, and John of Austria did it. |

| #3 the only way to get rid of them is to win the war of ideas - and firstly within our own borders not in syria. military might is no use. We need to declare war not on IS but on the concept of the Caliphate. this is not so we can send soldiers abroad though inevitably we will. this is so we can root out the promoters of sharia within our borders and charge them with treason and then lock them up or deport them never to return. declare war on the caliphate and ban sharia this is a failure of religion and we will have to hold religion accountable for it since muslims have failed in their efforts to do so |

| #1 Yeah, these guys would take credit for a successful five-finger discount at Wal-Mart, but, in this case, it looks like they be the perps. Now, how are we going to kill the cancer in a minimally (to the degree permissible by the media) invasive manner? |
