re: ISIS is not a threat to the U.S.

I think this is proof that Americans are a bunch of panicky, cowardly, sheep. ISIS has no capablility whatsoever to attack the U.S.

First of all... That's f'ked up. If you deny the media's ability to persuade even you, you're a fool. Otherwise, you'd end up being something like a member of the Amish community sans the default affiliation with religion. When everyone believes something it's hard not to give it a good look or believe it yourself.

Secondly, maybe ISIS has no threat in terms of attacking us on our actual soil in a boots on the ground sort of way, but I think Americans don't think that. I believe we are concerned with another 9/11 style attack. If you think THAT'S something they're incapable of, you're a fool. Which means it's a legitimate concern.

Now, there is bipartisan support for Obama's brainless plan to differentiate between so-called "western friendly" Arabs and ISIS.

I'm anything but an Obama supporter. I do however believe it's a mind control game he's playing though. If he gets the actually peaceful by action Muslims (the ones living their lives with their families and believing their religion is one of peace) to speak out, then it WILL galvanize one against the other. It's a reasonable strategy due to the controllable and predictable nature of most people.

Whenever both republicans and democrats agree on something, we better beware. It's probably the stupidest idea imaginable.

I have to somewhat agree that it's either gonna be either REALLY good or REALLY bad.

There is no such thing as a western friendly Arab. They all hate us. Let them kill each other. That's the best scenario for us. The world would be a better place if they wiped each other out.

To the warlike ones, I couldn't agree more. Religion is a hyper powerful motivator. Perhaps as powerful as it gets in the real world in terms of being able to unify and coordinate around a common purpose.

The true question remains: Will the ones that are living out their lives in a peaceful way be WILLING to speak out adamantly against their psycho zealot others??

*Edit*

Just my perception... my two cents from the stuff I'm fed and read about. Probably just my own angle deviation from common sentiment.
