Who Does ISIS Remind You Of?

Joshua Chapter 8 vv. 24/26 (New International Version)


When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai in the fields and in the desert where they had chased them, and when every one of them had been put to the sword, all the Israelites returned to Ai and killed those who were in it. Twelve thousand men and women fell that day --all the people of Ai. Joshua did not draw back the hand that held his javelin until he had destroyed all who live in Ai.

I assume all the children were killed also. Just an example of religious extremism run amok. It is a good thing Christianity came along. When will Islam ever have its period of enlightenment?

I don't know if The Thirty Years War dovetails exactly with what we are seeing in Mideast but I think comparisons can be drawn. It will(is) be ugly.

I can appreciate the differences between a time when humans were more brutal and had a lower regard for life than we do today. It is so amazing that such a large religous movement seems to be frozen in time.

Israel doesn't seem to have changed all that much

Israel doesn't seem to have changed all that much

Changed, as in letting peeps lob rockets into their country and not retaliate? That kind of change?

Ima guessin, mind ya, but if Hamas wouldn't send the rockets over, then the
Israelis wouldn't keep kickin their a$$es.....jus sayin....

And to answer the OP's question, give every person who wants to, 24 hours
to vacate the premises and then turn the whole dayum place to glass...Syria,
Iran, in particular. Short of that, tell 'em, "we're comin fer ya" and you won't
see/hear it comin....The only thing those folks seem to understand....

It's fashionable in the progressive crowd to disavow any form of self-defense, be that for a country, or even their own person. It doesn't fit with the "I'm a victim" mentality they wallow in.
