ISIS: No deep-water navy, no air force, no real army, just a large-ish band of guerrillas with captured weapons.

Europe: Real armies, real air forces, real navies.

Perhaps they should try. It would be a good excuse for the armies of Europe to reduce them to dog food and let the buzzards clean up the mess.

There's a better chance of me winning the Lottery than ISIS conquering Europe. hobbit709 Dec 2014 #1
