The thing you're mostly forgetting in all this is that right or wrong, the IS people are our enemies. They are. And thus they should be destroyed, simple.

It doesn't matter what you think about their ideology, or any of that bollocks. It's what they think of ours that counts.

They're not my enemies Throdlar. I don't believe in what we're doing over here. I think our "product" is a bit shit and it could be massively improved, but is subverted by the duress of a tiny number of incredibly rich people who act in their own interests.

Improve our product and we take away the majority of reasons to hate us. Yes, there'll always be haters, but IS would have a much harder time becoming a realistic threat if we got our own house in order...

IS are making gains in a battle for minds. We could do much better, but don't.

Gwadien, are you actually fucking mental mate??
Because I don't want to see a whole movement destroyed and killed, and therefore turn into a genocide, so basically, I don't want to be a citizen under a pseudo hitler-movement.

Yes.

I am fucking mental.

Product? These are people, the ones you live next door to, the ones you like, the ones you don't like.

Gwadian, I can't even answer your post properly. But fwiw, yes, I do want to see that whole "movement" destroyed, flattened, crushed into the ground. And then look very carefully at other muslims, and also our immigration policy.

So you're a fascist, so therefore our discussion is done.

I don't think you realise how much your arguments seems to be like the Final Solution, so I don't wish to continue this conversation with you if you have prejudices on ANY person before you meet them.

Edit:- Actually, what's your opinion on North Korea, Israel etc etc?

I could probably hold an argument with you for several pages of this shite, just like any 6th former could.

But you seem to ignore that the IS thing has an avowed aim to bring sharia to the whole world, has murdered more people than you can count, thinks women are second class citizens who should cover up when outside the house and not go outside unless accompanied by on of their betters (i.e a male member of the family) thinks music is illegal, Christ need I go on? All the things you think are great would be gone.

Carry on spouting your shit to someone who will listen, I can't say anymore to you on this subject.

Yeah, my point exactly, what about all the countries that we support with a beaming happy face and fight wars with?

Saudi Arabia for instance? They do -everything- you just said, and they treat everyone who isn't a Shia Muslim like they're a piece of shit, and have a fucking AWFUL human rights record, yet we're not bothered about that in the slightest?

I just think if you're going to have principles, they need to be universal, and not pick on people that our Government has decided is the enemy.

Also, I picked up on Israel because they do exactly the same as ISIS, they kick out any undesirables to forever shrinking bits of land, but we love Israel, so we can't criticise!

It's not "the people" I'm talking about. I'm talking about our economics, our social systems, education systems, inequality, our entire way of life.

That's a product of a number of things, but mainly directed by a small number of incredibly rich people.

I'm not saying that the people are horrendous - and there's lots worse places. But we're aiming for a status quo - not an improvement.

Polish our own turd and you remove the masses' desire to create their own turd - and they'll flock and fight for ours instead of getting on planes to fight for something else.

(To both rather replies - ) We don't need principles, we need dinner.

The Saudis are Sunnis. You keep getting your Shias and Sunnis mixed up. The Saudis are probably funding ISIL, if not officially, then certainly lots of Saudi citizens are sending cash, as well as lots of other Gulf money (rumour is the Qataris are the major bankers of ISIL). And this is a big problem with your defence of ISIL,in Iraq they are a Sunni minority committing atrocities against a Shia majority, pretty much an fundamentalist version of the Ba'athists who ran Iraq under Saddam.

I'm not defending IRIS I'm making the point that ISIS is very complex and we need to learn more about them to do something about them, we can't just keep hitting them with the mallet every time they pop up, because history dictates that doesn't work

You're correct, it is complex, so don't you think knowing which sect they are would be a start before you start giving them any credence at all?

Could've sworn the vast majority of Saudi Arabia are Sunni but the people with the money are Shia

Nope. Almost all Saudis (about 90%) are Sunni or batshit Sunni (Wahhabi) including the Royals and the Ulema.The Shia minority are persecuted. Iran is the Shia heartland.

Nothing. Just like you did nothing with Iraq, or any other conflict. Stop worrying about things you can A: do f*ck all about B: can do f*ck all about even if it goes tits up.

It's the only way to look at it if you want any sleep, thinking of all the things wrong nin the world...

...unless you're one of those newspaper-catastrophe-bandwagon-jumping people who care about some issue for all but a week before going back to their pretty lives where the biggest problem is the iphone charge %.

Are things bad? Sure. Can i do anything about it? No. Do i care about bad stuff happening to people? Yes. Do i worry and think about what should be done and panic and AAAAA! F*ck no.

It's silly, the moment they get picked up on radar as unidentified they'll be escorted by fighter jets and then blown to pieces when they don't respond.
