I agree, but we have options to punish their cruelty other than boots on the ground.

Obviously, I am not in their situations. But at this point, we all know what these guys will do to you if you are caught. So you might as well fight until your dying breath. Just go down fighting during whenever the raid occurs. Dont give in. And if you are captured, tell them to go to hell when they tell you to read their garbage.

No matter how often this occurs, I will continue to be horrified and feel for those killed and the next victims. This evil needs to be extinguished from the earth.

The popes back then forgave past, present and future sins of crusaders and instilled the mindset that killing all non- believers, including Jews, was doing God's work, a strategy used by ISIS, today.

The Crusades ceased in the late 1300's with a brutal defeat of Christians.

Let us not forget that we did not attack Japan, they attacked us.

This is an excellent, well-researched article that explains everything you need to know about ISIS and their actions:

That's easy to say from behind a computer screen.
