I'm glad we're not turning a blind eye, but I do wonder where it will lead.
Then again, someone needs to stop these savages.

The bombings are just great and all but as the former Commandant of the United States Marine Corps recently stated, this plan has a snowball's chance in hell of getting rid of them.

Curious article.
Islamic State has a lot of supporters after they do their cleansing.


In northeast Syria, Islamic State builds a government

By Mariam Karouny

BEIRUT Thu Sep 4, 2014

(Reuters) - In the cities and towns across the desert plains of northeast Syria, the ultra-hardline al Qaeda offshoot Islamic State has insinuated itself into nearly every aspect of daily life.

The group famous for its beheadings, crucifixions and mass executions provides electricity and water, pays salaries, controls traffic, and runs nearly everything from bakeries and banks to schools, courts and mosques.

While its merciless battlefield tactics and its imposition of its austere vision of Islamic law have won the group headlines, residents say much of its power lies in its efficient and often deeply pragmatic ability to govern.

Syria's eastern province of Raqqa provides the best illustration of their methods. Members hold up the province as an example of life under the Islamic "caliphate" they hope will one day stretch from China to Europe.

In the provincial capital, a dust-blown city that was home to about a quarter of a million people before Syria's three-year-old war began, the group leaves almost no institution or public service outside of its control.

"Let us be honest, they are doing massive institutional work. It is impressive," one activist from Raqqa who now lives in a border town in Turkey told Reuters.

In interviews conducted remotely, residents, Islamic State fighters and even activists opposed to the group described how it had built up a structure similar to a modern government in less than a year under its chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

After reading that article, IMO, the only way to irradiate the group is to cleans them out of all the institutions they control.

MSM is making them sound like they are just a small, insignificant group of hostiles that just a couple bombs will clear out.
