well that can't be good... how capable are they though?
They could be very capable...especially if you take the following into consideration:
Obama secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood
President Obama and his administration continue to support the global Islamist militant group known the Muslim Brotherhood. A White House strategy document regards the group as a moderate alternative to more violent Islamist groups like al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
The policy of backing the Muslim Brotherhood is outlined in a secret directive called Presidential Study Directive-11, or PSD-11. The directive was produced in 2011 and outlines administration support for political reform in the Middle East and North Africa, according to officials familiar with the classified study.
Efforts to force the administration to release the directive or portions of it under the Freedom of Information Act have been unsuccessful.
Many Missteps in Assessment of ISIS Threat
A reconstruction of the past year suggests a number of pivotal moments when both the White House and the intelligence community misjudged the Islamic State. Even after the group’s fighters stormed across the border into Iraq at the start of the year to capture the city of Falluja and parts of Ramadi, the White House considered it a problem that could be contained.
Intelligence agencies were caught off guard by the speed of the extremists’ subsequent advance across northern Iraq. And the government as a whole was largely focused on the group as a source of foreign fighters who might pose a terrorism threat when they returned home, not as a force intent on seizing territory.
Only, intelligence WAS NOT 'asleep at the switch'...
Only CBS Covers Latest on ISIS Intel Being Altered by Obama Admin
This has been reported here and other places too. Upper members of the cabinet "white washing" the intel on ISIS.
Makes ya go "Hmmmm....." Especially when you consider Obama letting Iran have nukes. It almost lines up too perfectly....

Total Rubbish.
Pakistan has always had highly intelligent and capable physicists within nuclear technology.
In fact a Pakistani Dr Muhammad Raziuddin Siddiqui was part of the team on The Manhattan Project.

Pakistan is not the medieval country some people think it is.

ISIS planning 'nuclear tsunami'
"The terrorists plan on killing several hundred million people. The west is drastically underestimating the power of ISIS. ISIS intends to get its hands on nuclear weapons,” says Todenhofer, calling the group a “nuclear tsunami preparing the largest religious cleansing in history.”
I keep wondering how far the world is going to let this go before someone steps up and DOES something.... Obama will not act because he sees any act as an example of American colonialism.
Now Putin will step up and be the "hero" of the day. However, with Putin, there is ALWAYS a hidden cost. Is the world willing to align itself with the Russian mafia?

It might not be a physical nuclear weapon by rather by targeting nuclear power plants around the world. If they were able to get a high powered IED into nuclear power plants and detonate it (in multiple locations) I'm sure it would cause a a nuclear tsunami!
why is it when sentiment towards extremists turns highly vocal the peaceful majority and its sympathizer feel the need to defend the whole of Islam? While not condemning extremism,seems rather suspicious
