I dont think throwing down is called for, I think throwing every last one of them out of this country is a good place to start.
How do you do that? Throw all Arabs out? Throw all Muslims out?

I'm of Arab descent.....should I be thrown out?
Are you familiar with what happened to the Japanese in this country after the outbreak of WWII?
If youre a practicing muslim, yes.
No I'm not. I'm Christian, but my grandfather was Muslim and he immigrated here in 1910. I'm 1/2 Lebanese. Do we kick all African American Muslims out? My point is. Don't think we need to make some wide sweep and clear out all Muslims....that is called bigotry.
I do believe we all originated from over there, no?
And Im fine with being called a bigot, better that than a dead flower child and until they condemn "their own" people they should be shipped back. Didnt we all see the video with the lady talking about the "silent majority"? If not ill post it tomorrow.
Take a look at Europe and the hell they are causing over there with the small percentages they have.
Im out until later tonight or tomorrow... | |

I understand what you are saying, and I honestly don't think you are a bigot. We can deal with this without stooping to THEIR level. For one thing, we don't have to allow people from the Middle East into this country. We don't have to take thousands of Somali refugees either. I would dump that in the lap of the UN. They aren't doing anything anyway. Let them sort it out, for a change. | |

So someone tell me what the solution is. Is there anything short of turning the Middle East into a parking lot that will guarantee a solution? Any thoughts as to the collateral damage (a few zillion dead innocent bystanders)?Â
If we don't mobilize the world and get after this now, then that could very well happen. If we had a leader who had balls and was resolute, there's a good chance that a REAL coalition could be established to hunt these bastards down and eliminate them. George HW Bush did it when the threat to the civilized world was far less back then. Now the threat can't be denied. We need a leader to go to work for us. | |

I don't believe everyone originated there either... Certainly the Aboriginals from central and south America as well as Austrailia did not. I have doubts about the Africans as well.. | |

That's my point!!! As soon as the USSR pulled out WE became the bad guy!!! Let the Muslims solve their OWN PROBLEMS FROM NOW ON... As you like to say. It's a domestic affair.... None of our business!! It's not a domestic affair. It is an international affair involving the entire Middle East, especially Syria and Iraq, but if their dream of a caliphate becomes reality, you can rest assured they will turn their focus on the western world. What do you think they intend to do about the "big Satan"? Just like Bin Laden warned us he was coming after us and made no distinction between military and civilian targets, these people have warned us. If you don't believe they are a threat to the world, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd love to sell you real cheap. Judging from the way they slaughtered all those Christian-Arabs and Kurds, do you seriously think they will leave us alone under any circumstances? They need to be hunted down and vaporized. In case you have not been paying attention. The Muslims in the Middle East want to deal with their own problems.... I say let them!! If they lose all control then we can step in again IF they want help. If you and Rodeomom want to kill them so bad... Grab your guns and get over there!! I think Komet is missing the point. Leaving them be is not going to stop this. They thrive on violence. This particular extremist group does not think like we do. They can't be reasoned with. They want us all dead. Look at what getting out of Iraq has done. It's just made things worse. No one over there can be trusted. We have helped the Iraqis with weapons and training, then many have turned those weapons and training against us. How do you deal with that? You cannot reason with a screwed up idiology. I wish someone knew the answer to resolve this the easy way. The only answer I can think of is annihilate ISIS. I'm NOT missing the point you two want to send our troops back into that mess.... I think our country has spent enough money and shed enough blood for people that just turn around and spit in our face afterward. They might look almost the same coming across the border to Mexico but as soon as they open their mouth and say something it will become clear they are not. They can't infiltrate Mexico without Mexico knowing it. Mexico ain't gonna let that happen. From the honest Mexicans to the drug cartels, they know where their money comes from and they will not look kindly upon terrorists going after their friends/neighbors/customers. Can you imagine what our government would do if they found out Mexico was helping terrorists enter this country? Do you not think Mexico knows this?
Hell no I do not want to send troops back to that hell hole. I just think that may be the only solution. They want to kill us, they want to annihilate the USA, and we cannot trust Mexico. Money talks, and they will give in to the highest bidder. If the terrorists show up with cash and promises, we're screwed. They already have one of our Marines over a border misunderstanding, (but that's a different story entirely) what makes you think they give a rat's ass about the US? Hell, our own President doesn't give a rat's ass about us either. He has known about ISIS for over a year. He has no solution. He has done nothing but whine and complain about Republicans hurting his feeling and white cops killing black kids.
Do you honestly think that if we pulled everyone out, all Americans, just look the other way, we let them kill the ones they have captive that will solve the problem? | |

You have heard nothing I've said... You have no argument to sustain your wild beliefs..

The Mexican government knows good and well if we ever found out they turned a blind eye to terrorists or helped them enter the USA from Mexico it would mean a war they could not possibly hope to win.

Being a devil's advocate here .... but didn't "someone" step in to confront and stop the threats. Thus, they never really made it off the ground?
I think ISIS has already made some MAJOR plays by killing people - also, didn't Switzerland and France pay ISIS for prisoners? As long as they continue that mess, ISIS will be funded and continue their upward momentum.

Well... Don't get me started on France... I don't know about the Swiss.. Our long standing policy, and I believe the correct one, is to not deal with terrorists.. Do it once and it opens the door. We see proof of that when Obozo made that trade, 5 for 1, and I think that's why the pressure is being put on NOW! They think we will fold again and as long as that simpleton is in control we prolly will!! As long as the media disregards the warnings and puts themselves in harms way, the terrorists will continue snapping them up as leverage. | |

I was the opposite of obtuse. You said megalomaniacs have come and gone throughout history, and I say that's correct, and added that just because they "come and go" doesn't mean they can't exact ruination and kill millions in the process. Hitler was a genocidal maniac, and so is ISIS. The world can't stand by and watch this, particularly when ISIS is telling us their ultimate aim. What do you want to wait for?
Obtuse implies I am stupid or don't care....in fact, it's quite the opposite. | |

Can it happen? Sure!!!! Has it yet... Not that I'm aware of.. Even tho they still try to fly in.... Do you have any idea how hard it is to move around in Mexico if you are not a citizen? I've heard horror stories about it. I have no doubt some have entered... But not enough to destroy us by any means. | |

Plainly some of you have been missing the threats ISIS is making toward the U.S and American interests all over the world. Their plan is global domination.
Â
Megalomaniacs have come and gone all through history... These people will never get off the ground..
You are joking, right? Ummmmm......Adolf Hitler was a megalomaniac! was he not? The war he waged cost about 60 million lives.....and you say he never got off the ground? Better think again.
Quit being so obtuse Doc.... I was talking about ISIS... Not Hitler..
I was the opposite of obtuse. You said megalomaniacs have come and gone throughout history, and I say that's correct, and added that just because they "come and go" doesn't mean they can't exact ruination and kill millions in the process. Hitler was a genocidal maniac, and so is ISIS. The world can't stand by and watch this, particularly when ISIS is telling us their ultimate aim. What do you want to wait for?
Obtuse implies I am stupid or don't care....in fact, it's quite the opposite.
No It implies you are deliberately slow to understand I was talking about ISIS.... And there have been a whole lot of megalomaniacs that talked big and never got much done... I believe ISIS to fall under that category. They are walking and talking big now but where are they?? They can't even bring Israel down. They move in the other direction because it is the path of least resistance... There is nothing there!! deserts and sand and some people that can't fight back... They are surrounded by countries that could squash them if they but made the effort... | |

          Location: Bastrop, Texas | I don't think many people share your optimism that Mexico can secure our southern border, Komet. Maybe I'm wrong, but I consider a porous southern border a threat to our national security and a very realistic potential portal of entry for terrorists. What you are saying is pure supposition. I don't feel comfortable with that. | |

You are right Komet. No need to worry about ISIS. Let's wait until they bring Israel down! which they haven't done yet, as you astutely pointed out. | |

I'm not trusting them to secure our southern border... I'm trusting them secure their Northern border as well as others... We've seen how well they can do THAT! As someone already said, they arrested a marine that accidentally crossed it with a gun. They let Latinos in their southern border and out their northern one because they are just doing what Mexicans themselves are doing.. Looking for a better life. But I very much doubt they would turn a blind eye to Muslim terrorists bent on doing harm. | |
