Please don't put words in my mouth Padre, I never said anything about evil Muslims, and as I recall I never claimed that all Muslims were the root of all evil here.
I am not, but if we are going to worry about ISIS and Islamic state coming to kill us because they believe, that is the implication.
which brings them between one million and three million U.S. dollars per day, they're also collecting taxes, conducting extortion of people and business, as well as receiving donations from wealthy sympathizers. They're hardly a mouse, they're well organized, effective and efficient, well led, well funded and very well armed. 
Really? Thats it. The Brothers Kock spend that much daily just living, The Wal-tons piss that much in an hour, Romney does that for a couple of hours work, Sheldon Aldeson would call that pin money. That isn't even enough to buy a decent used airplane at the U.S. Military Discount store.  We spend 22 times that much in one hour of our military operations, Isreal,  Eqypt, Syria and  Turkey alone shit that much for fun in a day. If you notice they aren't really sweating the bunch either, they are more concerned over Iran.

They are a ratbag organization, and the only reason anyone even really knows about about them, is because they have managed to wrangle a couple of websites and have tech savvy people putting it on the web. Which is the reason that the Politicos and the Law Agency are spewing to call for more and heavier hand control of the web.

The U.S. media has been beating the war drums now for years, wanting to go back in and 'take on the ISIS/ISIL', and the whole focus of the media has been to paint them as 'serious threat' just like the did with Saddam. The only reason I can figure, is because folks like the Brothers Kock are pissed about the Oil, which they want, since Russia is have it's little fight over energy. Two get you ten that if we were in control of the oil, the Snooze Media would be more worried about Trumps hair.

The balance of the media is all about "Them evil peopels what hate our freedoms", and the occasional article that points out 'we are no angles' maybe slightly infurating but they are needed, even though more than 3/4 of the American public is convienced that 'Iraq just happened by mistake and we are totally innocent'. I suspect that if you asked even half of the american public, they would have no clue about the original article, and half of those who did would think alone similar lines, ISIS/ISIL is grave threat and must be dealt with now.

I still have to say I would be more concerned about the Mexican Cartels. We have already had one of our supervisors family members kidnapped for ransom. The Black gangs in oakland and San Fran have come closer already than any ISIS, we had one of our workers nephews killed in drug deal gone wrong. The Supervisor of the Leadeshipteam had to rescuse his kid from the Filipino Gangs around Sacramento. A couple of years ago we had one of friend killed the week of his wedding due to Illegal street racers in the area. I have yet to hear of anyone I know even being threatened by ISIS or ISIL. And in fact, ISIS and ISIL are necessarily one and the same, and don't even like each other.

As Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (2013–14)

On 8 April 2013, al-Baghdadi released an audio statement in which he announced that al-Nusra Front had been established, financed, and supported by the Islamic State of Iraq,[115] and that the two groups were merging under the name "Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham".[57] Al-Julani issued a statement denying the merger, and complaining that neither he nor anyone else in al-Nusra's leadership had been consulted about it.[116] In June 2013, Al Jazeera reported that it had obtained a letter written by al-Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, addressed to both leaders, in which he ruled against the merger, and appointed an emissary to oversee relations between them to put an end to tensions.[117] The same month, al-Baghdadi released an audio message rejecting al-Zawahiri's ruling and declaring that the merger was going ahead.[118] The ISIL campaign to free imprisoned ISIL members culminated in July 2013, with the group carrying out simultaneous raids on Taji and Abu Ghraib prison, freeing more than 500 prisoners, many of them veterans of the Iraqi insurgency.[111][119] In October 2013, al-Zawahiri ordered the disbanding of ISIL, putting al-Nusra Front in charge of jihadist efforts in Syria,[120] but al-Baghdadi contested al-Zawahiri's ruling on the basis of Islamic jurisprudence,[118] and his group continued to operate in Syria. In February 2014, after an eight-month power struggle, al-Qaeda disavowed any relations with ISIL.[47]


So I have to stand by what I said, I would be far more worried about beign taken out by the Mexican Cartels working thier way up here and killing off family and friends due to Turf wars from the Norte del 14 gangs. ISIS is pretty much a boogy man for us over herE and if we don't stop sending missles over there to blow up more civilians than fighters I would be sweating the G9 and sanctions from them.

Molly say:
So keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
