Maybe we try a simple approach. IF, and it's a big if, ISIS animals are really fighting in the name of Islam, they would support and cherish Islamic holy items. Lets make it simple. Burn 100 Korans a day until they lay down their arms. After 10 days, bomb a Mosque a day. After 20 days, flatten Mecca.

Lets face it though. That would accomplish nothing. They are simply animals on a rampage, looking for an excuse to loot and kill. Islam is just a convenient excuse to let out their feral side.

Kind of reminds me of Ferguson looters, but that's another story.

I come back to my original statement. It's not worth the life of an American serviceman or woman to stop ISIS in the Middle East. If they are foolish enough to come here, go nuclear at the drop of a hat and burn them out.

hilarious. In reality I'm a peace bird just like you
To stop ISIS not to murder millions of people.

Someone still needs to enlighten me why we need to stop ISIS though.

Maybe because they are a well equipped and funded group reigning terror on people.

Just a hunch....

You forget, I'm a non-interventionist. It isn't our fight. It is the fractional backing systems fight, they want us to wage for them.

Rwandans killed a few millions just because their heads didn't look right but nobody gave a crap.

Why should we care about ISIS? Terror on people? When was the last time you gave a crap about their people?

Ovcourse, no one is denying hypocrisy.

I am for all large scale atrocities being stopped and the perpetrators being brought to justice.

Technically I am for all crimes against people being stopped and the perpetrators being brought to justice but you cant stop every little thing that happens everywhere, that is just not realistic.

However, large scale things can most certainly be stopped.

Hard to define but I will give you an example.

One or two random men killing a few innocent people - small scale

A government, dictator, or militia killing hundreds/thousands of innocent people - large scale
