ISIS Needs to Be Dealth With Now. . . And Syria

ISIS
What is ISIS?
            ISIS is an extremist militant group that is basically running rampant throughout the Middle East, but primarily throughout Iraq and they have been seen in Syria. They are so radical, that they actually split from the terrorist group Al-Qaeda, who was responsible for 9/11. Now, ideology wise I am not to sure, I just know they are pretty crazy and you do not want to take this new group lightly.

            Many of you know them recently because they beheaded an American Journalist and then published it online. I know everyone’s immediate reaction is War, lets go and break these guys down. I agree to an extent, but we are already bombing them like crazy and they care still succeeding.

            Here is the scary part, these aren’t just guys off the street, the leader has a PhD in Islamic Religion. The guy who beheaded the American Journalist had a British accent and they located him to be from London. WTF!? Now, granted, they have Middle East background, but these are people that are born and raised in the West. After they get training, they go back to these Western Countries, which is even scarier. So these radical militants are coming from America, Britain and Germany and they get trained by radical militants and come back. These people do not represent Islam, this is not a Muslim thing and it should not be held against the majority of Muslims, just like every society, there are radicals. But, for some reason these guys are a little bit scarier. They are even getting people from Indonesia, which you wouldn’t think is Middle East, but they are seen as a peaceful Muslim state. Now they are joining in.
           


            Obama should not take this threat lightly. Iraq is not a key state in the Middle East, it is close to Iran but it isn’t too much important. Iraq is not working hard enough to create a political situation to which the ISIS could rise. But, the ISIS has been found fighting in Syria, and if there ever happened to be a power vacuum in Syria and a ISIS member got ahold, they might make Bashar Al’Asaad look like a friend of the West. But, if Obama does commit to Iraq, which I think he should, if he does, he should also commit to Syria because FYI, the journalist was beheaded in Syria. Both present huge problems to the west and peaceful balance to the world. If people are willing to die willingly for this cause, and they have a negative attitude toward us, then why not get involved now instead of when something irrevocable happens.

            Think about this, they are pulling many people from all over the world and sending them back. Boston Marathon is a key example of what could happen if the ISIS sends trained fighters back into the world. I mean they already beheaded a guy on camera for the whole world, I do not think these guys are messing around. I think someone should step in and step in now and not just America, but all countries fighting the War on Terror, including Middle Eastern countries.
