"[In the publication of his Atlantic cover story], “What ISIS Really Wants,” Graeme Wood has challenged the claim by Muslims that ISIS is un-Islamic by pointing out that ISIS members are self-identified Muslims. But Muslims who say “ISIS is un-Islamic” are not saying that ISIS fighters are not Muslims at all. They are calling ISIS “un-Islamic” the way a politician might call bigotry “un-American.” In fact, a prominent expert on ISIS has noted, “I would be curious to know how many Muslims are willing to declare the members of [ISIS] non-Muslim,” adding, “I bet you there are very, very few people.” That expert is Bernard Haykel, Princeton professor of Near Eastern Studies.
Haykel also recently said, "Muslims who call the Islamic State un-Islamic are typically … “embarrassed and politically correct, with a cotton-candy view of their own religion” that neglects “what their religion has historically and legally required.”
If [Muslims] just go about their lives, they stand condemned by those who demand that Muslims “speak out.” But if they do speak out, they can expect to be told that short of declaring their sacred texts invalid, they are fooling themselves or deceiving the rest of us. Muslims are presented with a brutal logic in which the only way to truly disassociate from ISIS and escape suspicion is to renounce Islam altogether."

We would support attacks on anyone invading our country also. It's odd how it's O.K. for the U.S. to attack other countries but it's evil for them to want to retaliate.

In 2014 in Iraq alone, ISIS killed at least 4,325* Muslims. ISIS is murdering an average 12 Muslim civilian men, women, and children every single day.
* CNN, "Report says Iraqi civilian deaths roughly doubled last year, driven by ISIS"

Illegals have been invading our country for years and we will not even enforce our own laws
