ISIS = Sunni Islam

[Bush92]

Why does our government continue to call ISIS...ISIS? No other Sunni governments in the Middle East and SW Asia are attempting to stop them?Assad in Syria is just a cult of personality with his Ba'ath Party. Otherwise no Sunni nation wants to help stop ISIS. Hence one must assume that ISIS represents all Sunni Islam. So why call them ISIS? Just call them "Sunni Muslim Forces?" Hell with tip-toeing around it anymore.

The Kurds are Sunnis. Just when we think you can't get any stupider, you prove us all wrong.

Kurdistan is not a country...stupid.

Kurds should just break away and form own form of Islam beings how the Turks, Iraqis, and rest of Islamic world has shit on them for generations.

It'd be a lot easier if you just kept your mouth shut about things which you have absolutely no knowledge.

ISIS stands for "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria"; nothing to do with the sword Sunni; nor are most Sunnis sypathetic. ISIL is "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant". Look up the terms.

ISIS manages to smuggle oil the same way the cartels smuggle drugs and people through Mexico-USA border. And there's a Mexican state authority with its institutions (Police etc) on USA border, there's no authority on other side of Turkish border.

There are over 3 million Syrian refugees, and over 6 million people internally displaced.
There's constant movement, and it's a big human tragedy which necessitates open-border-policy as it is our duty to help those people in need.
Off course, Obama/USA would like close-border policy just like he wanted to ignore chemical-weapons use (red-lines) when he made his deal with Russia.
