This could take decades before you see a turn.
I imagine it's good that there aren't video's with the things China has done.

I am sure some of this is needed to reminded us we are not liked in parts of the world and getting caught their could be the end of your life. Look at the people who are vacationing in the area Nothing like a summer vacation hiking in the mountains of Iraq, most likely fun, if not kidnapped.

I heard they were beheading women & children and crucifying them, but f'n burying them alive, what is wrong with these people!!!!! No icon for the disgust and dismay I feel!

They still have the morals and manners of peasants.
My old dad who fought in the Second World War in the Arabian Peninsula always told me never ever trust an Arab.
Any Arab.
I didn't believe him then but it's mighty hard not to today.
And you know what I mean about not trusting them ?
What did Jordan do as soon as the pilot was burned to death - killed two prisoners out of revenge.
This is the rule of an uncivilized world using punishment as vengeance instead of justice.
And I for one am heartily sick of Arabs denouncing American involvement in their world but doing diddly squat themselves to fight ISIS.
They deserve each other.

Do you guys seriously think this.......ISIS is a puppet of Iran, Iran is ancient Persia!
I never implied it was fake. It was actually a dig at M. Moore but you didn't get it. Probably wasn't in the best of taste.

The terrorists have been killing a lot more Muslims than anyone else. Youth is being recruited with higher compensation and benefits than they could otherwise achieve.

When your life really sucks there is a predisposition to blame and an increased openness to embrace and rationalize an alternative.

How is it that some people keep trying to deflect from the heinous actions at hand by resurrecting things done decades ago by Hitler's minions and which weren't done in the name of Cristianity?
