"* Internet flooded with images and videos of executions from Sunni militants aiming to topple Iraqi government
* At least five die in Kenya attack just days after Al Qaeda-inspired group Al Shabaab kill 60 in twin massacres
* Islamist militants Boko Haram feared to have snatched 90 villagers in Nigeria after kidnapping 300 Christian girls

Well, as they concentrate, there is the ever-increasing chance we can just nuke 'em from orbit.

….its the only way to be sure…"

In all seriousness, I don't think this sort of thing is helpful. As odious as the Muslim extremists are, their hate and horror is motivated not by religious feeling but by lust for power and influence, the same as terrorist movements throughout history…Mainstream Muslims recognise this far more than Westerners do, in my experience.

As with all revolutionary movements, so long as the rule of law allows people to speak out without fear, they won't get any traction. So spreading alarm and despondency in this way, indirectly, only helps their perverse cause, by causing moderates to hesitate to speak out and say 'not in my name'.

In any case, the rift between Sunnis and Shias is an insurmountable obstacle to any would be 'World Caliph'.

Agree with you my friend.

The various moslem factions are going have to solve their problems themselves … however, they want/like to export their terrorism to the West … the Infidels … for various reasons. If they seriously possed a threat and tried to create the rest of the world to Shia' islam, as oppossed to just repeatedly saying it … Well than "nuc'em from orbit", would be on the menu so to speak. Maybe not Nucs or from orbit, but massive Drones, Cruise Missiles, CAS, etc. …
