Looks like it is going to be very tough to overcome ISIS. Listen to the video to see why.

Like moths to a flame, a growing number of people around the world have been drawn to the terrorist organization ISIS.
The al Qaeda splinter group is trying to create an Islamic state on territory it controls in Syria and Iraq. But its reach goes much further.

This week's attack in Texas is the latest reminder of how the group inspires an international following using a unique mix of propaganda,social media, Hollywood techniques, and branding strategies more commonly associated with the corporate world.

ISIS generates widespread revulsion for its violent beheadings and public executions, but experts say it's highly skilled at appealing to a small niche audience.

"They're very good at branding," said J.M. Berger, co-author of the book "ISIS: The State of Terror."

On the other hand Sally, it will separate the sheep from the goats.
The people who respect due process and civil laws and authority.
From the ones who don't.

People will be drawn to join the cult violence.
But this puts pressure on others to join together to stand in defense.

We cannot afford to be divided if we are going to stand strong, stand our ground,
and enforce what is true and just. We are being tested, and to pass the challenge,
we must be GREATER than the evil seeking to throw us from our course.

Our faith in truth and justice to prevail must be greater, for love of what is right and
good in the world and all humanity, not disrupted or dissuaded by fear.

So no more petty division between Christians and secular, or Christians and Muslims or Jews.
All the GOOD in humanity will also be drawn to unite together at the same time.

Just like after 9/11 many people realized we needed to focus on the good we have in life,
the good we can do for others. We need more and more of that. And this GOOD in the
world, from putting all the good together that each of us has to offer,
My God, there is much more good and power in that than any of this evil.

We just have to completely unite. We cannot be fractured, or that's how evil divided and conquers,
by turning one neighbor or one group against another.

We stand together, we can do much greater than the damage done by dividing and conquering.

We are having to join out of pure necessity.
More good will come, just like after the incident in Texas,
people are still pushing for greater good. After Boston,
more people united. We just have to keep getting stronger.

The closer we draw together, nobody can rip holes in the fabric of society.
We cannot afford weak spots that ill will can be manipulated to take advantage of.

This is a call to totally clean house, to work through our issues and quit letting conflicts
divide us over petty things, when we have REAL work to do to prevent even worse trouble!

It's happening, everyone I know is getting more and more involved in solutions
because it's becoming more clear we cannot afford problems that are wasting our resources.

The rise in conscience is building, and we will see more and more people
putting aside their minor issues, and working for greater good and greater goals much more critical.

Out of bad, more good will come. That's how the human conscience works. We respond, we seek justice.

Anyone who is surprised knows nothing about islam, muslims and the nature thereof. Anyone who did not
PREDICT this response to the CALIPHATE at its
very outset also knows nothing and muslims and islam.
Anyone who did not predict the attempt to establish
a "caliphate" also knows nothing about muslims and
islam and anyone who did not predict that the currently
ongong conflict between elements stationed in
Yemen and Saudi Arabia----WOULD TAKE PLACE
long before the first shot was fired----also knows nothing
about muslims and islam. The "know-nothings" will
continue to splash their idiot remarks into cyber-space

"...then I will tend to agree with the illustrator and writer Bosch Fawstin, who wrote that, “the only difference between ‘Islamism’ and Islam is three letters.”
