21 Egyptian Christians Beheaded in Libya

[Anonymous]

“Today we are south of Rome,” a militant wearing a brown ski mask said against a backdrop of gray storm clouds in the five-minute video. “We will conquer Rome with Allah’s permission.”
The hostages were on the sand in orange jumpsuits, similar to those worn by U.S. hostages slain by the Islamic State in Syria.
“The sea where Sheik Osama bin Laden’s body was hidden, we swear to Allah we will mix with your blood,” the militant said.
After the killings, the camera pans to waves red with the victims’ blood.

Maybe it was a parking dispute.

As I have said before, the communists used to talk about "sharpening the contradictions" and creating a situation in which people were forced to choose sides. IS is following the same strategy. Read this article about the latest issue of the group's magazine:

They are hoping for a "war of civilizations" so that Muslims in the West will be forced to make "one of two choices".

The more people like you react in the way you are, the better it serves the goals of IS. IS absolutely wants you to hold the entire Muslim religion guilty for their deeds. They absolutely want you to hate all Muslims.

why not criticize IS instead of this guy? Not saying he's right, but it's just interesting that your comment doesn't show up until someone criticizes islam.

I want to see IS defeated. They don't read my posts so criticizing them is pissing in the wind. Maybe I can convince the previous poster to use wiser tactics rather than the tactics IS wants him to use.

Ok, fair enough. but criticizing them may inspire others to criticize them, isn't that of value?

I think you are allowed to criticize someone even if they don't read your posts. I also think your ignore them.and say la la la tactic isn't working. It would be great if it did, but they are.commiting massive scale.atrocities. It may come.to war - what is the option? Let them spread across north africa beheading people? Float on inner tubes to Sicily?

[Anonymous]

Jeff, thanks for posting the link. The links within are very interesting as well. Although I didn't agree with PP, I found his image of floating on inner tubes to Sicily arresting.

Yet you jump at the chance to spread division and hate by labling the Chapel Hill murders a hate crime before the facts are in. Good job serving IS's goals and purposes hypocrite.

Really, you think there are people on this board who are on the fence about ISIS?

Most of the people fighting ISIS are Muslims. Maybe we should not insult them. They are our allies in this war.

[Anonymous]

Have we declared war yet?

Isis could float to Sicily in inner tubes. The Italian coast guard would pluck them from the ocean. They would be processed jn Lampedusa and released to continue their travels northward. Like us, Europe has a huge immigrant attraction and Italy is only able to 'handle' it with their own form of catch and release.

Jeff, you seem to have little respect for moderate muslims, i.e. the vast majority of the Muslim world. Do you really believe that every Muslim in a potential ISIS recruit, and if we keep making sardonic comments like "peaceful religion " after a mass ISIS beheading, that we are going to drive moderate Muslims into the hands of ISIS? That doesn't sound like any of the Muslims I know.
