    Not really. Islam and Christianity have been duking it out for a long time and both sides are still standing. No reason to think this time will be any different.

    Why do all Democrats insist it's FINE for hostile foreign powers to wage Acts of War against the U.S. and that there should be NO RESPONSE unless they have a fair chance of ELIMINATING the U.S.?

    TWO positions on this can exist:

    > You agree that when someone INITIATES an act of war, no matter how "existentially threatening" or pathetically weak it may be, the only proper thing is to CRUSH THEM for it; or

    > You SUPPORT initiating aggression and are doing your part to help it succeed.

    They don't actually threaten our existence as a country, just our current access to some oil.

    No. But they are worthless scum of the Earth. I loathe nobody more than someone that has the mindset of a ISIS member does. Doesn't matter what Religion you follow if you have that mindset i rather you die.
