The left mocked Glenn years ago about a caliphate .. Now it is happening

[Moonglow]

Who is the religious and political leader of this caliphate? Is he ordained as an Imam? No..he just a tyrant that wants things ran his way, even if it includes destroying other Muslims and Mosques that do not fit in his line of reasoning.. This ISIS war is about Sunni vs. Shia leadership, nothing new..

That explains why Obama has been ignoring it then.....It is probably just a fad that will harmlessly fade away. No worries.

Not if you like your cheap oil...The US has been dealing with Muslims since WWII, and as of yet these govt's have been doing the same as the ISIS leader...Where is the outrage when Bush smootches and hugs a Saudi King that beats women for being raped...

You really need to get up to speed here. There isn't a war. This isn't about disenfranchised Sunnis trying to destroy Shias.

It's all about the Caliphate. Say what you will. Your opinion means naught to them.

ISIS has not only stated that this is their goal but that they have actually achieved their dream.

Gee, a faith that can be read to say you should take over and rule the world for God, trying to take over the world and rule for God? Did no one learn anything from the history of the Taliban? No, of course not. You're Americans who don't know Islam History.

Someone wake me when something unexpected actually happens...

It may be something new, and worse than ever seen in the region.

Mmmm. Interesting.

US President Barack Obama has said he will not allow jihadists to carve out a "caliphate" straddling Syria and Iraq.

Actually not.

ISIS is no 'caliphate,' anyone who maintains otherwise is in fact deserving of ridicule.

Yes, isis' goal is to restore the bloody caliphate.

The high end estimate of ISIS's numbers is 20,000.

I didn't take classes taught by Dr. Annamarie Schimmel? Why did I buy "Mystical Dimensions of Islam"? As the great al-Hallaj once said......................

So are those who bury their heads in the sand.

Caliphate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Islamic State

On 29 June 2014, the militant Islamist group formerly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant declared territories under its control in Iraq and Syria to be a Caliphate, and demanded all Muslims pledge obedience to its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, whom it referred to as Caliph Ibrahim.[56]

The name means less than the method, the method is barbaric, heinous killing, perhaps for the act of killing.

And our vital interest in who runs northern Iraq and Syria is what, again?

A dream which will be short lived...

And in the meantime Glenn Beck has also said this:

When asked about a comment on Fox & Friends that Obama had a “deep-seeded hatred for white people, ” Beck replied, “When you live your life five hours a day on live television or radio, you’re going to say stupid things.”

“Was the racist comment one of the stupid ones?” host Brian Stelter asked.

“Of course it was,” Beck said. “But we all live and learn.”

So all of you clowns in the past who so zealously defended him for the above have now been thrown under the bus.

Very funny.

So this 'caliphate' won't be selling oil? They're going to abandon their primary source of income to spite us, somehow?

 

[NYcarbineer]

So anyone disagree with dilloduck,

that our intervention is really just more (probable) blood for oil?

I predict they will implode and turn on each other.
