In reply to the discussion: Islamic State seeks to justify enslaving Yazidi women and girls in Iraq [View all]TwilightGardener
(46,416 posts)201. The rest of the civilized, peaceful world decides they can't be tolerated, because
they kill, execute, behead, rape, enslave, torture, amputate, and bury alive the rest of us "infidels"--that is their mission, they state it quite openly. We, and/ or whoever else deems them a threat, exterminate them.
It's carried out with bombs, missiles and bullets. See? Very easy. I support it.
