it is against their religion to watch soccer? Really?
ISIS has weird and distorted views of the Koran and Sh'ria law. They've been condemned by religious authorities from one end of Islam to the other, but, for the moment, they hold the right end of the gun at the moment. A lot of the stuff they come up with reminds me of the Taliban in Afghanistan. They're probably all secretly watching porn...

I remember reading an article about when the Taliban took over Afghanistan. One of the things they outlawed was music and singing. They even confiscated and killed song birds from vendors and private homes. They have to be the most insecure people on the planet.

I guess everyone has an agenda, but comparing beheading people, throwing them from buildings to their death, etc. cake baking or even water boarding seems ludicrous to me.

I would hope that we never try to justify our actions by pointing to the actions groups like ISIS.:eek:

I think their actions justify just about anything we could to them in our efforts to stop them.

If you harm or kill children or torture a person, any punishment is acceptable in my opinion. The woman who set her newborn on fire is a good example. The savages who do the kinds of things ISIS does do not deserve mercy and if we are more concerned with tolerance than stopping them we will pay with more lives of innocents. They are not enemy combatants who are held to the standards of the Geneva Convention and we are foolish to believe our civility will change their murderous ways.

the verse is "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them:"

not "Therefore all things whatsoever men have done to you, do ye even so to them:"

True enough. However, if you'd like to compare the insane media over-reaction regarding (gasp!) the failure to bake a cake or waterboarding with the next-to-nonexistent media reaction towards ISIS......then it might get interesting. Consider, for example, that there's been more press condemnation of the MAGAZINE for being insensitive (or whatever) than for the killings. Or the YouTube video that (not!) cause Benghazi.

There ARE some people in this world who only understand one way - your life or theirs. And such a threat does need to be treated as such.

really? i saw pretty much wall-to-wall coverage from all over the world condemning the charlie hebdo killings. granted, i saw a few religious whack jobs like bill donohue and some radical muslim clerics whining about the insensitivity/offensiveness and implying they deserved what they got, but it was minuscule in comparison to the condemnations.
