File under: Islamic State

#1 I think ISIS was a dog bred and trained to attack Syria and has slipped its leash.

#3 These beliefs are not on the margins -- they are absolutely mainstream.

Mainstream of what? We all know, as we've been told over and over and over, that this has nothing to do with Islam.

So who is it?

#5 "presents itself as an apocalyptic movement, talking about the end of days"
A 500 kilo cluster bomb (i.e. snake eyes) will pretty much do that for you.

#6 Follow that cluster bomb by saturation bombing with napalm, and the IS fanatics may re-consider the wisdom of their allegiance.

#9 "What happened to the Mongols?" Last I heard, they quit invading the entire world & went back home. Not going to happen with Muslims, I think.

#10 ISIS is not a movement that builds. They are destroyers. At some point the piss will run out of their movement. With the right leader in the West (not some Muslim running cover for them), this might be facilitated more quickly.

#12 BP, that is a buzz kill as they might say in Colorado, Kalifornia, or Washington state. Treading water for 6 years is hard to do.
