ISIS sinks to new depths of depravity

Just below the lowest of the low and I think a dignified and sickened world has completely had enough
Let the obliteration begin....

Low grade nukes -< 5 kilotons are in the US arsenal for deployment by their field artillery in Syria
Precise accuracy is achievable from a standard howitzer.
Time for these ****** to be taught a lesson by the west.

Still no excuse for the insane,depraved,barbaric,appalling,inhuman,gross,d isgusting,unforgivable,detestable,sickening behaviour of people who are clearly lower than animals.
Not a nice bunch and their actions have done them no good at all in the eyes of the whole world
Absolutely sickening

Yes the UK and America do have a lot to answer for, they're all as bad as one another in my eyes, I'm sure plenty of innocent Iraqis were burned to death by bombs being dropped from 10,000 feet, but somehow most seem able to overlook that and forget that it's the greed and corruption of the west that has led to this current situation, we should have left Saddam to it. So now some of the people on this thread want us to go back again.

If we go in all guns blazing the collateral damage will be huge (civilian lives) as they are not all neatly corralled in a single place, they are deliberately spread out amongst people who are basically hostages. They die for the cause and become 'martyrs' which just fuels more extremism towards the West and the whole sorry cycle repeats.
Bear in mind that when we went into Afghanistan to eliminate the Taliban there were estimated to be about 5000 Taliban, today they number 30,000..... all we do with these missions is fuel the hatred towards the West and moderate Islam and the extremists take it out on their own people as well as us.
The answer for me has to involve the neighbouring countries putting aside their differences and working together to remove the ISIS threat piece by piece, but we are a long way off that.

I agree but if only ISIS weren't working on chemical weapons. So whilst they are 'only' committing attrocities in Iraq and Syria for now there is evidence to suggest chemical weapon development is high on their agenda which is why one of their main chemical weapons engineers was targeted in a successful drone strike recently. Their control over large swathes of Syria has given them access to Bashad's chemical stock piles that he was unable to destroy before ISIS took control and currently unable to account for.
The recent drone strike killing that chemical weapons engineer is thought to have been a major blow to their progress however he isn't the only one working on their development programme. Those are weapons that have every chance of being used abroad in terrorist strikes.
There is a need to stop them and it is becoming increasingly urgent. It's a shame the security agencies of the West didn't act sooner in preventing the growth of ISIS which has been around since the internal breakup of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
The fact Al Qaeda won't even have dealings with them really highlights what a bunch of murdering fruitcakes this lot really are.

A popular decision in Jordan no doubt. And with some of those watching from outside that have to operate with more restraint.

Yes at the hands of the West.
Direct: bombing, shelling, gunshots, fires from bombing
Indirect: health issues, food supply issues, population dislocation issues
The Lancet published a survey in 2006 that put the death toll at 650K for Iraq alone and that was nearly 10 years ago!
1 in 20 Iraqis are still displaced from their home to this day.
All caused by our invasions! Please stop trying to pretend it's something it isn't. The West did this! And on a trumped up charge to boot!

If you want to talk about population displacement go look at what is happening in Syria, where we did nothing.

Clash of ideologies, the world is being westernised through globalisation and Islamists don't like it. Foreign policy is just one of many catalysts and by no means the fundamental reason. It's an excuse.

I think we ought to start calling Jihadis Jihadis and drop this appeasing and dishonest moniker that's thrown about to protect Islam's sensibilities i.e. 'extremists'. It's as bad as the use of the word 'moderate' to describe apathetic and nominal Muslims. People believe (or want to believe) that the latter are the true Muslims and the former are a perversion of the ideology, when the reality is that the inverse is true when dealing with Salafists and their ilk. Let's start dealing with the obvious truth.

Incredibly difficult, isn't it? Love is the answer, but I'm unsure how that plays out in practical terms. One hopes and prays that the hearts of the jihadis will be softened and that they'll turn away from evil. We need a miracle.

When it comes to our wars overseas, concern for the victims is limited to Our troops. When concern for the innocent native populations is expressed through the MSM it tends to be more strategic than empathetic, the Jordanian fighter pilot is just one horrific publicised death ,we are talking women, children, babies blown to pieces by our governments another 4million refuges,the health effects of war.
We are now sowing what we reap, ISIS was trained and funded by the US.
I'm my eyes the west is more barbaric than ISIS could ever be.

You certainly cannot beat ideology with bullets. The more you fight a belief, the more attractive it becomes as a cause celebre.

We've been down this route before and look where it got us. I don't see how sending in our troops will solve or make the situation any better. We are not allies of Syria and we could find our troops fighting both IS and the Syrian Army. As long as IS are there trying to establish a caliphate, they are contained, if we send in troops and drive out IS terrorists, who knows where they would disperse to and risk dragging western forces in to another long and drawn out guerilla war with IS and a possible confrontation with Syrian forces. Use drones and precision arial bombardment to limit their spread and their abilities. You can't defeat an ideology with military force.
How long does the World sit back and wait before it gets bad enough to go in and take more proactive action against them? Wait for that very terrorist attack to happen? Won't there then be cries of why wasn't something done sooner?
ISIS may not be in one place or a conventional army wearing a uniform complying with the Geneva Convention however it is known where their strongholds are, where there main bases of operations are and these need destroying and air strikes aren't being effective enough. What do you do then, just sit back and let them continue doing what they are doing and expanding further and further afield allowing them to increase in power and size?
They should have been crushed before they ever got this big and the World sat back and let them grow, letting them continue to do so in my opinion is a huge misjudgement.
