I think what actually scares me more is the fact every post here has come from a respected member of this community and the consensus frightens me. Here we go again.

Why is it so hard to fathom that the animal most capable of brutality, viciousness, horrible, sinister acts is mankind?

So, how do we solve this problem? ISIS is an abomination that kills indiscriminately. Better to stop it than let it grow until you see it will come to kill you, too.
Remember the old adage: What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.
We didn't kill it. Now it's becoming stronger.
I saw a frightening video today out of Vice (IIRC). They were showing how these guys (the people who practice a religion of peace) were brainwashing their own kids into a culture of hate. What surprised me, was that while America was named ... Europe was named first.

You bolded the right word. Syria is the key to all of this. Once Damascus falls then Iran can be next.

No but if the international community got together the funneling of US made weapons to ISIS can stop rather quickly. That of course would be a huge start.
What US made weapons? If they are getting any, it is either looted from the Iraqi's or sent via Saudi/Qatar. If you're implying the US is funnelling them directly, I wouldn't believe it.
For the most part, the ISIS "soldiers" seem to be touting the standard kit for any irregular force - Russian (or Russian derived) weaponry such as the AK, RPG-7 and big, hefty AAA guns on the back of Hilux's.
Hah, you don't believe it but Obama said so himself 6 months ago when it concerned the Syrian conflict (only).
Today's reports, if we were to believe them, from Kurdish soldiers state that IS is riding around in American Humvee's and tanks and are in possession of modern US weapons.
As always, whatever sides are involved, they are not the ones being slaughtered. Once again the common people, unaware of any geopolitical games or danger are being killed. Makes me extremely angry.
