afraid, arcane, that if we knew it, we would be stunned. I was talking to an Islamic dude from Syria the other day who had been in the USA for about six months. He was working at the furniture store where I bought some stuff. He spoke broken English. I asked him about ISIL and he said, no, they are ISIS...He really said nothing of consequence except one thing caught me by surprise. He said: ISIS is very dangerous and very--smart. They want to take over the world. I thought to my self "smart". WTF. Who are these people? I'm going to reach out to my friend in Turkey to see if he knows more about them; it is starting to pique my curiosity. How have they been able to gain such vast amounts of territory so quickly? Why do they want to implement Sharia law? Are they really Iranian elites? Lot of questions.

The whole thing smells fishy to me, honestly. I trust no one at this point. arcane1 Aug 2014 #13

oh yeah! - ISIS is a CIA/Jew plot to take over the Iraqi oil fields! Baclava Aug 2014 #14

Wow, that was a colossally ignorant thing to say. arcane1 Aug 2014 #15

I only reflect the ignorance around me Baclava Aug 2014 #16

Killing the "wrong" Muslims is just as important to them hack89 Aug 2014 #50

None of this should be unexpected: freshwest Aug 2014 #23

Okay, you had to get scary... ballyhoo Aug 2014 #32

History is scary. The unknown is scary. The world is an unsafe place. No sweat. freshwest Aug 2014 #35

I consider the history of the world that I've learned from stories at DU, whether I agree with them, freshwest Aug 2014 #38

Could PNAC be funding ISIS? woodsprite Aug 2014 #27

I'm asking that question now on ballyhoo Aug 2014 #34
