5. If you want a thread on ISIS start a thread on ISIS, you will by no means be the first to do

Contrary to your assertion there have been numerous threads on ISIS, over the past couple of days Vanilla ISIS has received more attention because it is breaking news but it is not like there have never been ISIS discussions on this site, there have been hundreds of them over the past couple of years.

Saying that Y'all Qaeda hasn't hurt anyone is dismissive of the fact that they have explicitly threatened to kill law enforcement officers who try to remove them from the property. They have engaged in an armed takeover of federal land and even if no one has died yet their actions have put lives in danger. This is a real news story and you have no business shaming people for talking about it.
