Obama broadens military campaign against 'Islamic State'

How can you say that lol. It's wrong when random people try to convince you to believe in a religion, any religion.

100% agree with this. I could understand if people want others to believe what they believe, that's fair enough. But forcing it is ****ing wrong.

What's the point in using force, because then people aren't believing it for themselves, they're believing through Fear.

What i meant by "Convince" is a different meaning than "force". Believe what you will but one common aspect in all religions is to spread its beliefs and most of it is not done with force/severing heads by any means. this is why i personally believe ISIL crossed the line on this one.

Btw, you guys arent talking much about ISIL, mostly about questioning and dissing religion in general from the looks of the more recent replies...

It's history repeating itself again. Doesn't this sound almost like the cruisades? Granted they didn't have the technology we have now, but I hope this gets fixed soon.

ISIS is yet another reason why I hate humans.

The fact that Obama calls them ISIL and not ISIS for the Levant based on the destruction of Israel has given me doubts that he has the morality to lead America.

Where did you see him say that I heard him say ISIS, WAIT, the L in the Mnemonic instead of an S that's probably a Type-O is the difference between him being able to lead our nation or not? Or is there a little bit of underlying racism towards black people I smell?

She's not a racist... at all.

Anyhow, I self am not a fan of promoting fighting as a campaign but if this would make the world a better place in a few years, then I guess it has to be done..?

I think the decision is a lot easier to make for all the people who haven't had to go through anything like this or aren't or ever going to live over there, there are going to be innocent people killed. I wonder what the people from that region think, what do they want to happen? I can't imagine being a little kid and having to hear explosion after explosion after explosion, how much damage is it doing to other peoples' mental health to go through something like this with only a chance of it causing the chaos to stop? I couldn't imagine being in a position to have to make the decisions that Obama has to make, or anyone in the head of the military for that matter, or how long they can even being racked with the extreme amount of stress of having to make decisions like this without it fracturing their psyche.

I would like to hope it will make a difference but there has been fighting going on over there for thousands of years they are fighting a quote "endless war" with each other so there's a possibility that it's not going to make anything change over a period of time, no matter how many people they kill, there will always be someone else raised up to hate, to continue on what others are trying to stop. It's a hard decision to make.

How does that have anything to do with racism? LOL There are 4 different terms of the same group. ISIL is not a typo mistake. Instead of the S, the L concludes a georgraphical region consisting of Syria as well as Israel which regards with the Levant. Obama's administration has regarded this Islamic State as ISIL. I see it and hear it too many times. Many people probably favor Gaza over Israel and wouldn't care to see this, plain and simple, but I don't. Israel is our only Middle Eastern ally so regarding ISIL with Israel is demeaning to that country.
