    Napoleons beheaded hundreds of Arabs in the same region and he is a western icon. Maybe one day Isis will be, envision that

    Your meaning ur government armies, don't take everything personal I don't know anyone here it's just my terminology u don't understand. Right wing deflects from its own warmongering is a tactic and it is transparent to me and tiresome to watch on the news. So predictable like I lived a thousand times

    The deflection tactics of the right wing. 'Look over there at those bad guys everyone, look, look'

    :D

    But no, it's just that we keep getting stories of ISIS atrocities. It's like they really want everyone to come over there and kill them all.

    I don't understand them at all. How anyone can do such things is beyond my comprehension. I'm just glad I don't have to live there. All the people who think America is so terrible should take a look around and realize how lucky WE are.

    They got statues of him in France and he presided over the deciphering of hieroglyphs for western education. He's quite a remarkable character in European history and a French national hero who beheaded hundreds of Arabs in Syria/ Lebanon. Go figure

    Michael browns family would disagree

    So? I don't live in France and I don't care what they do in France, as long as they aren't still beheading people there. Sorry, but things that happened EONS ago are really not relevant.

    Michael Brown should not have been out bullying store owners and robbing them and trying to beat up cops. If you have an issue with an arresting officer, think he treated you unfairly, then you take it up in court like a responsible adult.

    That's their objective--"Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly...."

    Then they're on their turf.

    Even better, it would fulfill some sort of prophesy which would vindicate them and indicate they were the True Caliphate.


    Hopefully we will stay away.

    Yeah, but I don't know if it's worth letting them destroy the Great Pyramid. Added security for historic sites might be prudent, at the least.

    Back not too long ago cave men bashed in the skulls of the females they wanted and drug them to their crib, I suppose maybe one day Neanderthals will be, envision that~ lol. Lets not go back to a culture far removed from modern sensibilities. It makes no case for your claims. Lastly the reason some like Napoleon was not for beheading! Lol And I wouldn't even say he is a icon, and has been discredited in nearly every biography type articles I have read for various reasons.

    (by the way the Neanderthals references were metaphorical in nature not factual.)

    He presided over the deciphering of the scriptures we in the west are only just beginning to understand and he is a very famous European icon you cannot take that away. If u deny history as many Americans do you are doomed to repeat it. It is willful ignorance on the part of he who does. Napoleons may be far back in history to an American because Americans are the babies of history, for themotr advanced nations though it seems just like yesterday

    And they try to bring this about by voting for the candidate of their choice. As opposed to the Muslims who are commanded to "fight", "kill", "slay" and "smite the necks" of the unbelievers "until.... religion is only for Allah"

    In reality though we don't get a choice do we. There r 1 or 2 candidates and their agenda is always the same, to appease the banks and corporations who run america

    I don't think the Egyptians will let them do that.

    Agreed, at least as long as radicals don't overthrow all order there.

    After reading up a bit on Muslim "scripture" I am seeing the Inquisitions, Crusades, and Catholic church in a new light.

    They seem to have saved the West from a horrible mistake.

    There are too many big problems going on in the ME. We should have never left. We should have told Al-Maliki too bad, we're staying and ignored the liberal sector of our population.

    It's strange that they are having such a difficult time overtaking this rag tag terrorist group. These guys are getting some big time funding from somewhere.

    As far as I am concerned, the sooner we're out of there, the better. Our sphere of influence should be closer to home. One of the countries in that region needs to take the lead once they all decide to stop exterminating each other. A good birth control plan might help with that. They seem to be using warfare as a preferred population control device.


    They are more motivated than our side. For them, this is not just a battle over a few sand dunes; if we go fight them there and lose, they think their Caliphate will have been legitimized.

    Also, the news we in the general public are getting about their genocides is always too late to do any good. Wonder why that is?

    True, but their "activities" are going to really upset things in the ME, I think. Not that they haven't already. Good grief, what a rotten group. Somebody needs to stop them, and soon.

    I have no idea why we only hear about these things so much later . . . good question.

    Maliki begged for help from Obama as far back as October 2013.

    I think they believe the koran, hadiths and the historical precedent of 13 centuries of former Caliphates has already legitimized their Caliphate.

    Yes, but they need all of Islam to believe.

    For that, they have to satisfy the prophesies.
