This is sunni Muslims v shia muslims and non muslims, which is why most of the arab states like Saudi and Qatar are funding them. what these dopey fooking countries don't understand is that if IS by some miracle do take over Iraq they'll be coming for Saudi arabia next, and and then Qatar, UAE etc. Having experienced the Saudi military personally they will do what the iraqi army did, down guns and run away. The al saud family are only in charge because they let the clerics have free control on the population, which is why they have so many spies everywhere among the population and military.

What on earth were you searching for?

I dunno what Cronus was searching for, but AFAIK it is illegal to have snuff images of kids on your PC and I seem to have heard the "merely research" defence before somewhere

There's a section for this on p*rnhub

Funny how the man charged with bringing peace to the Middle East does a disappearing act every time more trouble breaks out. What are you doing Tony?

Whilst I agree with every point raised by Cronius, there is a part of me that thinks, why bloody us again? Our defence industry has made billions selling top grade military kit to the Saudis, UAE, Qatar etc.

There's more than enough there for those Arabs to get off their s and take care of the problem the whole region is facing.

And has anyone heard one squeak of condemnation from any Muslim Authority here in the UK? I asked a couple of Asian friends, "Why the silence?" The reply was an eye opener...."They (ISIS) are already amongst us.....they are actively recruiting our young men....they know where we live! That's why we're saying nowt!"

And of course, there are a good few hundred Brits out there in the ISIS ranks that will be looking to come home sometime.

Deal with it now, even if that means boots on the ground as part of a UN backed coalition. Otherwise,the consequences could be horrendous.

Maybe if the 3 million or so Iraqi soldiers didnt run from the initial 800 ISIS, the world wouldnt be in this predicament.

'murica and the UK have spent $2trillion trying to rebuild Iraq, for some rogues in black masks to come take it and all the equipment/cash. Yep, that was worth it.

Given the amount of american oil companies that reside in Kurdistan, was it really any co incidence 'murica got involved when ISIS were 25 miles from it?

IS has effectively just signed its own death warrant.

B*stards, the lot of 'em. They're smart though, having one of their British fighters carrying the execution, they know exactly what they're doing.

You would like to think so wouldn't you. It will be interesting to see what Obama does now.

Of course. But while it gets the attention of the public around the world. It also concentrates the attention of the US military squarely on them.

I'd actually say it's a pretty dumb thing to do.

Yep. He'll have to respond in some fashion. And he can't now allow a campaign against IS to just fizzle out after a few weeks of bombing them. He'll have to see it through to the end now.

He is not British - It is the one thing through all this that seriously winds me up, when they describe these jihadists as 'British'.... They lose the right to be called British, the moment that they sign up for this nonsense.

Our authorities know who these scum are who are signing up for this 'holy' war - Simply, their passports should be voided and they should never ever step foot back in this country (if they attempt it).

remember the crusades?
