The only way to beat ISIS is genocide. This is not new. The only thing new about this tragedy in Syria is that it is Syria instead of Iraq.
Since the Iraq invasion the region has been destabilized. There is a reason why The Green Zone in Baghdad has multiple rings of blast walls.
The vast charismatic movement is new and it can possibly be attributed to the hatred spewed by Glen Beck and his caliphate scenarios. It probably teased out an opportunity for the Ba'athist they hadn't entertained before.
This level of killing and ? culture ? has existed a long time and I am not talking biblical. The Taliban has been a roll model of ISIS.
Why this was different? Because it occurred after the USA left and was a complete surprise. I don't know why, those supplying weapons to so called rebels provided to be sadly mistaken.
No one is going to say Assad was a saint, but, he was also no different than any of the other dictators. It was the way it was. It was all too easy to be an enemy of the state in the Middle East, that is what triggered so much of the intense unrest among the people of the region and north Africa.
The region has to come to conclusions about the influence of ISIS and the potential to violence and death of their citizens. This is as much a culture war as a war of forces. The clerics in the region, even Nasrallah, realize the threat of the faux faith of IS.
Every American has to feel badly for these people. Their faiths are under attack and the war zealots of the Ba'athists have cleverly mastered a message that rings loudly among average citizens. There is even international penetration to the IS message.
I don't know why the people of these countries have turned against their faith. It is somewhat surprising. Mecca is a permanent icon to the Muslim faith, yet the people have allowed their imaginations to entertained by radicals that have no affiliation to the practice of any faith, they are heretics. That is the part of this that makes no sense to me.
It has to be the fact IS reaches back in time to violent movements after the death of Mohammad. There is nothing concrete in the real world to dispute that. I doubt the language of the modern day Muslim includes teachings and discussions of any caliphate. It isn't necessarily a proud time to the life of the faith over centuries. The caliphates became very violent. One can even discuss the fact the caliphates lost their faith and it's innate generosity.
The Muslim people already have a modern day caliphate. They go on pilgramages without interruption. They travel the entire region in praise of their religious leaders. What do they need am imagined caliphate by people that want to kill them? It is strange. By every measure this potential should never have existed. IS should have been laughed at for it's violent message. No citizens within the influence of IS is guaranteed their life. If they trip up over a rule that is obscure to them, they are killed in a public methodology to terrify everyone else in the population. That is not the mind of Allah.
The Muslim faith is not alone in it's history of violence, most faiths in the world have had their dark times. IS does not practice faith, it practices human rights violations and a lot of them. There is constant threat of death within the reach of IS. That is not a benevolent god, it is the god of heretics.
