ISIS

[parsley]

This is the moat enlightening account I have read that details the mindset of ISIS. A scholarly article. The West simply cannot plan an effective strategy to deal with ISIS unless we understand what they are all about.

This takes a bit if reading, but bear with it, you won't regret getting your head around this rather mind-boggling ideology.
Rocky, I can imagine you shaking your head as you read this, and don't want to imagine Cott's spew of expletives.

if you have a family, read this. Pars.

hows your latin pars. verus deus adiuvet.

[parsley]

Not worth a damn, binthere. I think we took The Final Round out of anyone chattering Latin that loitered, so, when we took off the helmets with the long horns, everyone just sorta left us alone.

But Google and I are chums. . Pars

Please correct me Pars?i may have interpreted that wrong

The last thing an islamist wants to see is me,i could tell you stories about vegas.

It takes awhile to trudge through this, Cott, but I knew you would wade through because you go through a pile of reading at the best if times. And you would be cursing pars.

Pretty interesting story pars. They left off the part about who benefits from these crazy bastards antics and who supplies them with weapons. Looks like it is the mossad and cia working for the banksters with a few puppets in the white house.

what you think?

Hope you don't have any nightmares tonight. Or at least wear your helmet and horns to bed with you.

What is fascinating is the depth of the belief in Islam. The utter fanaticism.. Taking an entire family and moving to the caliphate. Jihadists burning their passports

Following Mohammed's teachings to the nth degree. Including cutting off hands.

And all so you can spend time with virgins in paradise. I don't know if i could make this up.

[Braveheart]

Sleep tight rkaiser. CSIS will be coming soon.

[parsley]

Did you wade through it, brave?

[rkaiser]

Thanks Braveheart... I know pars has already called Stephen and sicked em on me....LOL whats with all the i's and s's in CSIS.... HMMMM

Good read.
The Dark Ages arguably lasted 500 - 1000 years. Religion was a major culprit. How do you stop this one?
I agree we don't understand Isis clearly. But I want to see Saudis, Turks, Egyptians, Syrians etc. take care of this for a while.
Oh yeah, and tell them to take their oil and shove it!

[parsley]

What is amazing to me black, is that there is essentially absolutely NO room for compromise, or change , or subtlety. The word of the prophet must be followed exactly... Or the fanatic loses his status as a true Muslim.
No electric shock; gotta behead.
No community work; gotta chop a thief's hands off.

It's almost funny if it wasn't so bloody sad. Pars

Oil - blackpowder? Did you say oil? That could have nothing to do with anything in the middle east could it? Come on now you guys, this is all about religion. LMAO

Should the stuff that "we" (I am not alone whooohaha) see happening in the money markets not kick in just yet, watch that oil price rise as ISIS kicks things into gear. Big move in Libya today by the so called ISIS crew.

ISIS is nothing but a tool in the money bags bag of tricks. Like you say - good story though. Almost as good as "lord of the rings".

[rkaiser]

back to the forth word on your first post on the thread pars. It's a damn good thing you have uncle sam to the south and a "moat" called the atlantic and pacific protecting you from these dudes and their Toyota trucks.

[blackpowder]

Hopefully the inelasticity of their logic is their Achilles heel. Like the sci-fi movies where the villain computer self destructs..... Well, a few mushroom clouds wouldn't hurt either.
