A Look At The Islamic State

[printcraft]

So ISIS in America isn't a threat now?

Oh yes, I think they are a threat but hunting them is not legal... bummer.
According to Kutnupe...... they are a potential threat, nothing to set your hair on fire yet...... give it time.

So it's only right if the government gives it's blessing.

Hummm, well what's right and what's legal don't always go hand and hand.
Also, I nominated you for squad leader of our 3 man band.

We could always lure ISIS to a job fair and then kill them all there.

I bet a majority were Muslim........... so were the kids that were executed for watching soccer......

Hey, that all you bro. I don't think ISIS is a legitimate threat to Americans. If I did, and the threat was imminent, I'd be booking a flight.

Just a threat to Americans? Can't help anybody else in the world? Hey, Muslim lives matter too.

I'm not completely sure what you're asking. They're free to do whatever they want on their soil. But if we get credible intelligence of a pending attack, sure, we can strike first.

Yeah, sorry, got in a hurry. Was posting in response to this:

After the first WTC bombing, or even if it had been uncovered prior, I would be totally ok with military action being taken against them. The existence of ISIS supporters, in absence of solid link to the organization or a plot to do harm, doesn't IMO meet the criteria to take military action.

You seemed to say that there were 1 of 2 ways for the US forces (here or abroad) to be justified in attacking Daesh members:
1) If there was a "solid link to the organization" or
2) a "plot to do harm."

If someone claims to be acting on behalf of Daesh, and traveled abroad to train with Daesh, would that be enough of a link under (1)?

And if someone advocated doing harm to Americans in America on behalf of Daesh, and took steps toward accomplishing that, would that be sufficient evidence of a "plot to do harm" under your construct?

I volunteer you guys. I would go but I just blew out a hammy.

I would want both requirements to be met. The link established, and the credible plot to do harm.

It appears that in addition to crucifying children, enslavement of those who follow a different religion, beheading of non-combatants, burning captives alive, stoning and amputating appendages from sinners, burning churches and taxing those who surrender they might have added organ harvesting of captives to the list of atrocities they endorse.

I don't care if there are 15 new threads on ISIS. I'm using this one.

Ok, fair enough.

Would this have to be proven to a judge - like a warrant type thing - or would it be ok for .gov to take pre-emptive action and explain after the fact? Or not explain at all, if it could be kept quiet. (Like a felony traffic stop on I-69, apparently.)

Why do we have so many ISIS threads.....

Why do we have so many ISIS threads.....

Would love for this one to be renamed to "The Islamic State Thread" or "The ISIS Thread". Mr Jarrell would have to request that.

Then we could consolidate all this crap into one thread. I've been trying to be more uniform with my threads in this way.

 

[T.Lex]

I'm on board with consolidating into this thread. FWIW.
