Help yourself and G. will help you.
2. GARBAGE! IT IS GUTLESS SAUDIS VS
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (02.18.16)
GUTLESS IRANIAN MULLAHS. They can't face each other so they get innocent Syrians killed. Trump is right. Let them kill each other if they want to. We can't keep trying to police them forever. Both sides have no rational.
3. No one will defend us

Israel should worry a lot. Should IS turn its attention to Israel, no one will leap to help us or re-stock us as the US did when we were in trouble in 1973. Our settlement policies have alienated all our old allies and we are completely alone. Thank you, Bibi.
4. al-Baghdadi declared himself Caliph

the great weakness of the islamic state and its caliph is that it has zero international legitimacy. as a result, it cannot procure heavy weapons. without heavy weapons all it can do is to slaughter civilians. however, its global reach as a terror organisation should not be underestimated. it can murder civilians in the west and thereby cause panic. this panic leads to changes in western lifestyle. these changes in western lifestyle are the most damaging aspects of this terror group. it is mostly for this reason that the islamic state must be uprooted and eradicated. furthermore, the civilised world cannot abide the immense barbarity and cruelty of this group. the west cannot survive while the islamic state beheads, crucifies, tortures, enslaves, and carries out genocide. just like the western democracies could not survive while the nazis were in power, the western democracies cannot survive while the islamic state exists. unless it is totally defeated and its ideology made bankrupt, the islamic state will pose a very significant threat to the west. the strengh of the islamic state is its ability and willingness to murder civilians by any means at its disposal.
5. WOW: so many idiotic posts in one place!?Obviously the Autor

has ulterior motives, but all the musings &"explanations" are waste of time. Just as dissecting and "explaining" German Nazism in 1939 wouldn't have freed the World from that scourge, so is philosophizing about Islam not going to free us from it. Winning this war will though.
6. In other words ISIS does not exist.
Murray the K ,   Brooklyn, NY   (02.18.16)
And like Jesus never existed.
