I saw the video before youtube removed it. It is disgusting and horrific. I was horrified when they killed the Muslim sect in the mountains, and I am horrified now. They are savage zealots, and they should be tried for war crimes. I am so sorry for their victims, and I can only pray the world becomes a less violent place.
I’ll look past the intentional antagonism in your statement, and proceed to….
Here you go: I am officially outraged over ISIS; their war on people who practice other religions, their war on the West, and their war on women. These wars are directly based on interpretation of their holy book. The book and its interpretation are paternalistic, inflexible, and absolutely convinced of invincibility. These are traits that are shared with Western religions, which is very apparent if you are honest. Fortunately, those who follow western religions don’t take their interpretations nearly as far, but we do buy into the same tenets.
If Hobby Lobby (the person? the corporation? I can’t tell a difference….) really cared about abortion, they would not be purchasing almost 100% of their product from a country that forces abortion on its women. If they really believed that Plan B causes abortion, and they really cared, they wouldn’t invest their 401(k) money into the company which markets Plan B. No, it’s all about showing women who wears the pants in the corporation; they need to know their place. Men have a much better idea of what women want and need; no need to ask them.
But, back to the original question, I am sure I am not the only alleged liberal who is against most of what ISIS stands for. Now we can all retire to our glass houses…..
When fighting Assad, they’re heroes. This is a scum group that does NOT practice “Islam” as Mohammed taught. They are not out for a “caliphate” but a thug dictatorship. We stink at picking friends since WW II, but what the heck….

And we’re going to ‘negotiate’ with these people?

Fundamentalists of all stripes tend to be crazy. Arm them and they become insufferable.
Allow them to get unlimited funding, and it gets way worse. But Saudi Arabia and Yemen are our “allies”, right?

The invasion of Iraq is the gift that just keeps on giving. Thank you George W. Bush. Thank you Republicans/Fox “news” viewers.
