I personally think all of the major religions should all be discontinued.  However to this discussion, ISIS has created a very difficult situation for non-Muslim countries and peoples. They have recruited the most radicalized and are using them to wage the ground war for territory in the middle East.  This in an atmosphere where Muslims are already regarded with disdain by many in non-Muslim countries due to the actions of a small percentage of ultra radicalized people.  You pull off a few attacks as they have and you stoke that mistrust, fear and outright hate of Muslims in those non-Muslim countries.  You see it with things like Donald, state governors etc.  This leads to increased radicalization of people that otherwise may not have gone down that path because now they feel like they are being attacked.  This is exactly what ISIS wants.  They want the end of days war because that is the prophecy they believe.  

 

So the "Western" powers are stuck between a rock and a hard place.  If they do nothing they will continue to occupy more territory in the middle east because we have weakened a number of those countries that would otherwise fight them.  If we fight them as we have been, killing a bunch of civilians we risk the very real possibility of radicalizing portions of the population that live in the West.  If we continue to be so hostile and hate filled we will have more and more attacks on our soil.  So while Donald stokes this hatred and fear it really is just playing into their hands.  One would think with his "great intelligence" he would see that.  But he knows there is a significant portion of the US population that doesn't get it.  And he plays right to what they want to hear.  This leaves us in this terrible feeling position of having to overcome this fear and mistrust.  It isn't easy and the chances of us actually accomplishing it are probably about 0.

Still missing a lot of information other than this is now a lightning rod for people wanting to attack immigrants.
