Can only hope they cripple each other. In reality though it probably wont matter much. ISIS and the Taliban arent anywhere near each other to be able to fight it out.

we lose.

crucifixion, how quaint…the guy on the wall in the life of brian comes to mind…seriously though, it is high time isis are eradicated and razed from the face of the earth, and the taliban and all the rest with them…though i am afraid there will always be radical islamism as long as the muslim world keeps failing and screwing itself up and the west keeps intermingling…

Or tying a homosexual to a chair and sentencing him to death by throwing him from the roof of a building. Or drowning and burning people to death while locked in cages. Hopefully the desert swallows these sick bastards up soon!

Personally I support the idea of letting Islamic peoples and nations in the region resolve the problem themselves, instead of going all Western World Police on it and making the problem worse, as usual. Provide aid, give advice, stop trying to call the shots.

If that wasn't bad enough, you pointed the finger at a problem that happened centuries ago because I can't remember the last time Christians banded together to slaughter people. It certainly not a problem today. Another, what makes you think the poster in question is a Christian? If he's a believer in some faith or an atheist, then how is he in any way responsible for what Christians do or did? It's not his religion that committed massacres and if it was his religion, it didn't happen during his lifetime, so your argument is just plain stupid.
BoatMad wrote: » firstly its not our problem, and shouldn't be. Most of that regions terrible problems are as a result of colonial decisions and western interventions. I dont in any way support the terror that ISIS promulgate , but I know you can t defeat this type of terrorism with military force. Ultimately you have to find a way to talk ( just like in NI for example) The key thing is the west intervening just makes the problems get worse , eradicate ISIS and another appears.

Normal terrorism like Al Qaeda or even the IRA can't be defeated militarily but ISIS do need to be fought with conventional military forces to take back the large swathes of land they've taken.
