Reading your first sentence, your second sentence is not too far from reality for these people.





We could not take in the many men that are coming.......this would be a good first start.


By the way it wasn't hearsay, it was a witness that knew the mom. Do you forget these people worked for Saddam, this is stuff they enjoy doing, its not just a thought.
The definition of hearsay is second hand information that cannot be substantiated. The article makes clear they are reporting hearsay; " the incident is said to have happened".

The incident reportedly "occurred in a square said to be filled with heads of those slaughtered by jihadists".

Do children play amongst the severed heads?

I said TAKE OUT, not take in. How do you distinguish between the serious millions of victims and thousands of perpetrators?

I am opposed to taking in any refugees from anywhere until the US brings 30 years of illegal immigration to a conclusion. What other country has employs/ educates/ feeds and provides healthcare to 12 million +/- economic migrants who have immigrated illegally?

What is shocking is that you feel the need to ask.
What huge percentage?

There are 1.5 + billion Muslims in the world who speak hundreds of languages/ dialects.

Again, people tend to believe anything when it validates their perceptions.

Isis beheads 4-year-old girl then forces mother to soak hands in her blood after 'swearing to Allah' - Democratic Underground
Media reports and credits other media sources all the time.

It's click bait.

Does not make it true or false.

The actions of ISIS are shocking and horrifying to everyone including the vast majority of Muslims. Again, no one in Raqqua was facing this until they were invaded by ISIS, this was not anything they ever expected to face (Syria was a fairly peaceful and safe if politically repressed country until the civil war caused a breakdown in law and order and foreign fighters came in).

The reason ISIS does this level of violence is because they're overall not a huge force and much of the population they've taken under control doesn't like them---their only power is the threat of extreme violence. This is what the Khmer Rouge or rebels in Sierra Leone used to do as well--take violence to the extremes to terrify the population.
Massive genocides have happened all over the world throughout history. Leopold / Belgium privately owned The Condo and knocked off 10 million. Soviet state exterminated about 7.5 million Ukranians. China, Japan and more recently Rwanda......

And perhaps the greatest genocide of all happened in what is now the US. European colonists slaughtered serious millions of Native American and took their land. Take a look at the real motives of those missionaries in Hawaii.

I believe our stated goal of 'defending freedom' is a load of crap as our involvement has diminished the freedoms Middle Eastern people would or could be having had we not decided we know what's best for them.

but if tomorrow, there was a push for congress to formally declare war on ISIS, I'd support it.
How do you declare war on an ideology?

Last time we did, was Viet Nam. How did that turn out?

The country fell and today is a trading partner to the US.

I'm still trying to understand why we're fighting the Taliban. For what? The Taliban has NEVER once attacked the United States. They just want us out of their country.

And i do sympathize with that view, because they're absolutely right.
