Sadly, eliminating these evils SOB's is up to the rest of the world. Our "leader" isn't in the game. Hell, he classifies them as an "organization".
While Jordan takes only hours to start executing prisoners associated with ISIS and announcing that they will hunt down and kill them all, the US is busy letting terrorists free.

(paraphrasing) "A quick and exceptionally brutal war is far better for everybody than a long and brutal war. There will be less dead, less pain, less suffering, and everyone will be able to get on with their lives quicker."
Even Sun Tsu knew that protracted warfare never benefitted the stronger side. Limited warfare as we know it today will not solve this problem.
And there's this...

Slaughtered for their entertainment: Crowds gather to watch the barbaric murder of
Jordanian pilot on specially erected giant screens on the streets of Raqqa...
and CHEER when the airman goes up in flames
· -Shocking video shows ISIS supporters gathering to watch murder footage
· -Big screens have been erected in terror group's de facto capital Raqqa
· -Film of Moaz al-Kasasbeh being burnt alive appears to be playing on loop
· -Crowd cheer and shout religious slogans as pilot is engulfed by flames
· -Film then shows locals - including children - talking about the atrocity
· -Chilling new release is titled 'Muslims' Joy at Burning of Jordanian Pilot'
The media keeps referring to this as a "murder".
I'm curious what, if any, the difference is between a murder and an execution?
Serious question. Maybe one of you can share your thoughts with me.
Lack of public trial?Quote:

The level of cruelty shown here would eliminate any such designation by "civilized" men.
Legitimacy. An execution in theory has some legal legitimacy because it's performed by the accepted government or as part of a just cause. ISIS is not a legitimate government so they are committing murder rather than carrying out an execution. In addition, immolation has not been an accepted form of execution since about the 17th or 18th century.Quote:

I'm curious about some things about ISIS (I Suck Islamic Schlong)
1. Who is funding them?
2. Who is supplying weapons?
3. Who is providing technical and logistical support?
These rock-throwing, goat-banging, dress-wearing, camel-dick-sucking can't be doing this on their own. Thete has to be state sponsorship or other deep pockets.
