re ISIS: Sometimes turning the other cheek is not an option.

2. heres a radical and simple idea...

How about trying something that is the most likely option to work.

Get the fuck out of the middle east, stop our hypocritical foreign policies that turn so many people against the west, and the muslims of the region that room to fight ISIS themselves without looking like they are selling out their religion on behalf of the west.

Right now, Sunni Muslims across the region are loath to fight against ISIS for fear of being associated as fighting on behalf of the west who with our foreign policies have alienated most of the Muslims in the mid-east.

In many Mid-easterners minds, the west with their hypocritical and sometimes murderous foreign policies are equated on the same level as ISIS, but because ISIS claims they are fighting on behalf of Islam, then many mid-easterners are unwilling to fight them because it would feel like they were siding with the non-muslim west.

Get out of the region, stop the hypocritical foreign policies that hurt the Muslims in the region and give them the room to fight ISIS without having the stigma of fighting on behalf of the west. Its that simple.
