The only religion of peace is no religion.
No religion is as violent as religion unfortunately.
Its not religion it’s the matrix state of the human being….It’s the human being that is to blame not any concepts
He uses the concept to justify his humanity so he can afflict others
If it wasn't religion it would be something else: race, color, baseball team, hair color, sizr of your nose whatever.

Hmm, I cannot see your reasoning in that. Do you think that religion here, is not the overriding factor? But that if they had no religion, they'd simply opt for another trait to be barbarians?
Maybe read the book.. you know, the one that shan't be mentioned. Oh sure, read them all, they all have things that advocate atrocity... but only one today still breeds outright depraved monsters.
it's like saying "Humans are bad because this or that." and ignoring those who have ceased their ignorant ways in favour of furthering themselves, while some humans continue to eat hearts from their enemy to consume their power. Or sacrifice virgins. It's a lot more intricate than "if it weren't religion, it'd be x y or z" when Y and Z have long stopped acting like X.

Perhaps it's a message telling those who wish to rebuild to not rebuild.
These cement workers are the types who would help rebuild Syria from the ashes of war, ISIS doesn't want Syria to rebuild unless it's part of building the Caliphate they desire.

Obama is not going to bomb what he supports.
"The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights later gave a figure of around 170 workers who had been abducted from the cement factory and taken to undisclosed areas controlled by the militants in the Damascus suburbs. The monitor, which tracks violence across the country, said 140 workers at the plant had fled before the militants arrived."
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a deal was made with the local governments in Dumeir to release 170 of the workers, and that the first of those workers had been released. An ISIS-linked media outlet claimed all 300 workers were released.
Adding further confusion to the matter, reports earlier in the day claiemd ISIS had staged a mass execution, killing 175 of the workers. This apparently was not the case, and it’s not even clear how this story began circulating.news.antiwar.com...

Why is it Obama's fault. Couldn't Congress do something if the leadership wanted to go against the rebels they created?
It's some part of the some plan the leadership has.

Obama is Commander in Chief of the armed forces.
It's his job to lead.
Obviously he doesn't want to do anything except warn the american people not to judge islam.

At one time their were rebels between ISIS and Assad. With the Russians help those rebels were driven away. They had been a nice buffer zone between Assad and ISIS. That buffer is gone. And while US backed forces are moving on ISIS final strong holds in both Syria and Iraq with the rebels near Damascus driven off Assad is going to have step up and deal with ISIS forces in his area. If ISIS sees weakness they will try and pull out of the losing battles with the rebels and head to Damascus. It is vital that Assad and his allies get on the ball and hit ISIS forces in his area ASAP.

If this is true, I hope it isn't...
Obama wants to coddle these savages. That’s the problem.

Obama has shirked his duty towards everyone and everything in this nightmare tragedy of ISIS.
