" why do you guys hate us so much?"
" you do not worship Allah, so you must die!"
" really, just like that, no middle ground?"
" there is no middle ground, there is only Allah, and he commands all infadels must die!"
" everyone?"
" bang!!!! I can't stand talking to infadels, they never understand!"

Ban religion... all of it, may not solve all the worlds problems but there would be a damn sight less of them.
100% no.
Are you really that blind to the reality of the situation?
Banning 'all religion' is the most absurd idea ever. Seriously. Just stop.

Obama will never attack ISIS full-on. He doesn't have the courage.

A few days ago I posted this thought. . .
We have bombs and drones that kill people and destroy buildings.
What kind of bomb destroys an ideology?
While we have a military that is highly capable, we don't have a leadership to take it on.
We don't have the support or the national will to support such an effort either.
Last time I checked, however, drones can't kill an ideology.
To posit further, if a foreign nation attacked the US, they could destroy cities, infrastructure, kill millions.
But they could never kill my beliefs or ideology.

You make a good point, but how to effectively expose them to that?

They've killed many more of the Islamic faith. It's Wahabism, they'll kill/slaughter Shi'ites, Zoroastriasts, Yazidis just as quick as anyone else, as they did during their rampage through Kurdish areas. No inflammatory headlines in the media back then though, I guess we save our outrage for Christianity and Judaism?

There is plenty of outrage for the slaughtering of anyone at the hands of ISIS. When it turns out that they are Christian, the line gets kinda blurred and people seem to lose interest.
ISIS are specifically targeting Christians, although they attack anyone who does not subscribe to them, they specifically call out Christians and are waging a war against Christians.
On that note I must try and go to sleep, it is 02:40AM in the morning.
