The United Nations has called the states to fight “a global and unprecedented threat to international peace and security” which is Islamic State (IS, ISIS/ISIL, Da’esh). All 15 members of the UN Security Council voted to adopt the French-proposed resolution.
The resolution “calls upon member states that have the capacity to do so to take all necessary measures ... on the territory under the control of ISIL ... in Syria and Iraq.”
IS “constitutes a global and unprecedented threat to international peace and security,” the resolution says.
in time those people will be a target too, I fear they just don't understand this.
Or even more scary they actually do understand, but then they aren't really moderates either, are they?
that doesnt work in a theocracy.

I am not suggesting they arm themselves and go to the middle east to fight against that.
Do you see active counter protests, like other religious/political issues ?
We need an Islamic type Martin Luther King from the moderates to lead a movement against radicals within Islam.
And that person my already be out there, but they don't have a significant following.
So if you feed and house the radicals or give them money, even if you just suspect they are up to no good, in time those people will be a target too, I fear they just don't understand this. Or even more scary they actually do understand, but then they aren't really moderates either, are they?
Hmmm, I think you are mixing up western moderates with Saudi Arabian moderates. A third generation american moderate Muslim is way different than the most moderate Saudi, environment plays a part too.
