Forums - Politics Discussion - What Are Your Thoughts About ISIS?

I not fear them even when I see fans of them everyday and it is hard to post a message on facebook without them trying to make their opinion the only truth..

In discussions with them they sound not so bad and some of their answer make sense, ask about the mass murdering and they will tell you that 100.000 muslims have died in IRAQ thanks to USA...

And well also plenty of supporters already in USA, with fergusson going on they will be working hard trying to achieve new recruits from the African communities because the USA goverment never will be good for the Africans in the country..

Just another in a long line of lessons in the dangers of asymmetric warfare and the near impossible challenge of an external force trying to impose civil order on a region. The most powerful military force on the planet occupied Iraq for a decade at tremendous cost, and a ragtag army of fundamentalists in pickup trucks destabilized the entire region as soon as the US left.

There's no easy answer on this one. ISIS needs to be stopped. It should be stopped with the minimum required force and with careful consideration of the politics on the ground so the situation doesn't deteriorate further.

Nuke them.



I'm mainly wondering where they're coming from, how they could rise SO quickly.

The Google trends charts demonstrates what I mean:

There was virtually no talk whatsoever about ISIS until June this year, then it went through the roof.
How can it happen that pretty much over night, an army with an armada of shiny new white Toyota Hilux trucks seems to appear out of nowhere and within a few weeks conquers half the arab world?
Who paid for all those Toyotas? Who paid for all weapons, where are they from? There must be some pretty rich sponsors behind them.



ISIS is just another in a long sad line of bastards that will eventually pick on somebody their own size and get these asses handed to them. This crap has been going on over in the Middle East for so many generations that I doubt their will ever be any real peace there. I think we should support those will balls like the Kurds and provide aid and support and lots of airstrikes and let them wear themselves out. And provide humanitarian aid to those being persecuted. But not troops, it's time they sort their own shit out and man up. In reality though, the whole fanaticism that keeps drawing more people in needs to be addressed because killing these guys just breeds more, I think it's deeper than just ISIS, there's a whole ideology of hate and destruction that never grows old.

I don’t consider these people religious in any sense of the word. Their just anarchists who are following a cult. like the old Muslim proverb goes "Better a Thousand Days of Tyranny Than One Day of Anarchy", it's shame the western powers that be didn’t head these words before they started supporting the removal of tyrants. However evil the tyrants may have been, these cultists who are killing indiscriminately are far worse In my opinion.

I believe there are currently around 15,000 ISIS fighters occupying an area with a population over 4 million (a number which is probably dropping pretty quickly). I’ve heard on various news reports over the last few weeks that of this 15,000 around 5,000 are suspected to be from European countries including the U.K.
