The Poor Boys do some awful things and they certainly aren't to be admired, but they can't be compared to ISIS or Al Qaeda.

They don't go around destroying historical monuments and priceless works of art.

They don't fly planes into skyscrapers.

They don't push gay people off of buildings.

They don't behead infidels.

There are other differences, I'm sure. We have our problems in America, but when it comes to civil unrest, we don't hold a candle to the Middle East.
