B.Won't strictly adhere to Sharia laws.
THAT is what motivates them and they believe it's their "god given right" to kill anyone who dares to disagree.
Why do I say this and what evidence do I have? THEY SAY IT REPEATEDLY, before,during and after cutting off heads, stoning people to death, shooting people,blowing 'em up etc etc etc.
So why are some having such a hard time believing the very terrorists that are killing people?
Not all Muslims are terrorists.

We were very concerned - and rightly so - by the four Americans killed in Benghazi. And the inability of US forces (for whatever reason) to come to the aid of those trapped at the CIA safe house. So how did they finally get safely to the airport for the flight back to Tripoli?

There was a militia unknown to the US government, with whom we had no prior agreements formal or otherwise. They responded to a cry of help from someone on the ground. Who were they? A secret force of former-Gaddafi officers. Almost certainly Muslim. They risked their lives to come to the aid of the many wounded who were still under mortar fire even though it was the US who had pretty much turned their lives upside down.

Treat the terrorists like terrorists. Treat those who are not like human beings. Perhaps they'll do the same. And we'll all be the better for it.

You're correct! But ALL terrorists ARE Muslim (by their own admission). I'm all for treating law abiding Muslims as just that, a benefit to any society as all law abiding people from anywhere should be treated. Here's the thing, it's hard to almost impossible to discern who is what when they're from certain places in the world that have no functioning government OR are from an ISIS controlled area.
I can't argue that we (our dear leader and side kicks) turned Libya into a complete hell hole, we absolutely did. There is no excuse that I've heard that can justify it.
This is where I agreed with the statement "what, we're so innocent?".... We're not.
We've also treated people that've helped us very,very badly for several years now, from those that helped in Iraq to those that helped in Afghanistan and probably those that helped out in Libya.

With all that being said, we HAVE to find a way to root out the good from the bad as best we can and until we can, well, is it worth your life,my life or our kids lives to take a chance?
