The problem with your statement is that its Muslims, only Muslims, save the US that created the problem in the first place that are stopping these madmen.
I'm sorry but I don't quite follow that statement. If you are stating that only Islam can stop the terrorist attacks, then you are wrong. Iraq has said it wants help, but not foreign soldiers. This means that they cannot do it on their own and need our weapons and our money to help.

We need to wake up to the fact that the devil now lives on our doorstep.
We are reaping what we've sown , this is the legacy of the actions of Bush and Blair and the chaos they created.

It goes back further than that. Afghanistan is kind of like ground zero for a lot of this.
It's where Osama Bin Laden grew to hate the USA, but it was well before Bush was president. To find out why Osama hated us so much you need to go back to the 70's and to the cold war between Russia and the USA. Afghanistan was a war between Russia and the USA on foreign soil.
America helped fund Bin Laden and the mujhadeen (?)( I am not sure how to spell that) fighters to victory over the soviet backed fighters. The big sin America committed though was the fact that it simply abandoned the Afghan people after the war ended. The USA decided it was of no strategic importance and left the country in a dreadful power vacuum.
So modern day Islam got pissed at the west, not because of interference but because of being ignored and left without help.

It seems to me that Islamic State are content to unite the Muslim world against themselves with their recent actions , perhaps the Muslim world will unite against this evil and put their own house in order rather than be content to sit back and let the west take care of it for them.

Perhaps the most sickening slant of all of this is that Muslim apologists will insist that this is not Islam and will try to ban us from talking about the threat of it's spread.

First off
I didn’t say Islam alone could defeat anything.
I JUST SAID its Muslims now who are fighting ISIS
So how do you blame ALL OF ISLAM for ISIS
If the so called Christian ass holes who attacked IRAQ in 2003 didn’t DO THAT ‘
THERE WOULD BE NO GODDAM ISIS
All that about we don’t want American forces is just BS rhetoric by Iraqi politicians
The Sunni tribes are asking for American troops or heavy weapons
THIRDLY!
This wouldn’t have happened if Khadaffi was there.
Isis wouldn’t even exist if the US NEVER invaded in 2003
And they gave that moron Obama a noble peace prize!
And that Wicked Witch of the West Hillary Clinton whose responsible for the chaos in Libya will be the next president of the US
Or the brother of the jack ass who started the Iraq invasion of 2003
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!

This guy says all true Muslims should be extremists.
I would be curious to hear Charlie or others respond to this guy.
Please, that was not an attack. I am not Muslim so I cant claim to know what it is all about.
Is this guy wrong? Is it just a sunni or shia belief?

I think the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq exasperated the existing situation and made fresh breading grounds for the hate , add in our undying support for the illegal actions of Israel over the years , stir and simmer and we have a the meal we have in one way or another made for ourselves and the rest of the world.
This isn't the 21st century I was looking forward to.

It was Hutus vs Tutsis yes, but they were Islamic vs Christian as well.
You called the war in Iraq a Christian invasion, yet when the shoe is on the other foot you deny that the Hutu massacre was a Muslim one?
What about all of Isis beheadings of Christian minorities? Are these simply tribal / racial conflcits or is this religious as Isis and the other terrorist groups committing these atrocities claim it is?
Should we blame all Christianity for the 15th century (the first genocide in Europe) genocide of the Cathar sect?
