You guys really don't get it?
I'm messing with you.
My real question is this: Why don't Right Wing Christians take ISIS on??
I know that it's technically the dark ages for Islam because 700 years ago we had our dark age and there's a difference in religious maturity so to speak. I'm a Conservative Libertarian posing a legitmate question. Why isn't there a movement in the west to stop them?

Well said. I've been saying that this is a media distraction for a few weeks now, but get labeled as an ISIS apologist instead. I keep posting statistics that show that the cartels are worse than isis. So using the same logic and rhetoric that everyone is using to justify putting boots on the ground in the Middle East again, you could use against the cartels. Except they are worse (AND operate in striking distance of the USA), but instead we get crickets about that.
No one cares about truth, they just want to be scared of the next biggest "threat". I can't wait until the media cycle rolls over and everyone forgets about ISIS. Though I'm sure that whatever it is, I'll be yelled at and insulted for trying to remain calm and level headed about it. Just like this issue and the Ebola issue and the Syria issue and so on.

What's crazy is how hostile everyone gets when you try to remain calm and emotionally unattached to the situation. I've suffered some very nasty remarks from the pro-war with ISIS people, and just about all of them can't refrain from putting words in my mouth about what I am saying (again I get called an ISIS apologist on the regular).

I understand it all too clearly myself. I've succumbed to it myself and I've ALWAYS regretted it later because of the decisions I make and the things I say while under its influence. I've learned my lesson, it's strange how many people don't know how to learn their lessons.
