Cue posts from the Comrades telling us they are isolated incidents etc, etc ... 'high-spirited' kids etc - how having someone murdered in the street or blown up now and again is worth the tremendous benefits of having 'diversity'.

Cue right wing reactionary knee jerk tar brushing.

I'm surprised by all the calls to wipe them out. I would ask exactly who would you wipe out? People in these situations, when confronted by a force with overwhelming firepower, simply fade away and are driven underground. They begin using guerilla tactics and organising and funding themselves as an Islamic terrorist organisation. Before you know it the problem has spread worldwide to every city/airport/train station/school/university - you get the picture.
My suggestion would be to combine a hard response with a deal of some kind. Maybe there could be some legitimate Muslim state run by ISIS where people could go and choose to live under Sharia law etc. if they so wished? Part of the deal could be to hand over anyone proven guilty of atrocities to be tried under international law at the Hague, or some such thing; rather than renditioning. The hard part would be getting them to talk which is why I would first assemble a huge force so they would know we mean business.


using your logic though a huge force would be pointless as we wouldnt be able to do anything anyway.

Where would you put this state? What country should give up their teritory to house these animals? Maybe somewhere with international jurisdiction like the Antartic?

Yes a lot of these people would melt away but as with Pol Pot (to a degree), once the fear of them is removed, the people will rise against anyone who tries to disappear.

You cannot be rational with these people. That is why we are always destined to lose unless we do something more drastic.


Not really, a huge force would be necessary to get them to the negotiating table. Why else would they bother? They are pretty much doing what they want at present bar the odd air-strike. As for where would the state be, the obvious answer is more-or-less where it is already. I don't really like the idea of some radical Islamic state but if so many people seem to be attracted to it then who are we to stop them? Inevitably there will just be an escalation of the conflict until some solution is found.
The doing something more drastic would be something akin to the US in Vietnam, the UN in Korea or everyone in Afghanistan. It would pretty likely never end and cause perhaps millions of casualties. This is not a conventonal force like the Iraqi army in Desert Storm. These are committed, well funded and highly manouverable forces who can quite easily disappear when needed. Dare I say it, I really wouldn't like to see the outcome of a massive US intervention. I say protect the borders of what they already have so they can't expand, step up airstrikes and pressure and then see what the diplomats can come up with when the heat dies down a bit.

The major difference with Vietnam,Afghanistan,Korea etc is that they were essentially national liberation movements.Here,the underlying ideology is not nationalist but a multinational religious one.So,whether any binding "deal"could be cut (if one gets over whether that's a good idea or not) is,in my view,unlikely. The mere fact of "diplomatic" semi-recognition would give the underlying ideology incredible legitimacy (and support) all over the place...

In terms of "sealing off" the territory they already have,do we just,as a part,leave any shia, christians,apostates still located there etc to their grisly fate?

ISIS are more or less a 'national liberation movement', albeit one about the establishment of a Muslim Caliphate, their focus is primarily on the region of the Sunni North of Iraq and Eastern Syria.

Which is a real problem, because they have a long term goal and achievable strategy, where as Al-Queda were purely 'terrorists' striking at the West, ISIS could quite conceivably establish themselves. They're also a lot more attractive to jyhadists for that reason - as they're representing something real to fight for.

Their successes are also appealing to a number of less Islamic militants, such as Baathists and more nationalist insurgents in that Iraqi region, as they have a realistic hope of success. Especially with the prospect of Shia militants

Those insurgents are fairly well established, know the area very well.

Comrade Martin right on cue with weasel words that criticism of Islamic extremism is 'tar brushing'.

Surely it is hard to miss all the protest marches and declarations from the left and Muslim 'peace movements' about Islamic extremist atrocities?

Just like the government at the time missed all the protesting about going into Iraq.
