That’s not the religious war that counts. This is geopolitical, though—Iran versus the Saudis, and Obama picked Iran (again).

Dear Mr. Longstreet,

Islam picked civilization as its enemy 1,300 years ago.

Please excuse us as we finally start fighting back again.

Sincerely,
The Civilized World

Charles Martel fought off the invading barbarian Muslims to save Europe. It seems lately that everyone wants to give up and give in to the barbarians.

Every war is a religious war.

The Barbarians are beheading children.

Stop with the “religion” nonsense already. When a mob of well-funded savages are beheading children, it’s no longer a “religious” war. It’s a will-you-please-stop-them-now-before-I-tear-all=my-hair-out war.

This is how these monsters are winning the PR battle, by calling their ideology of world dominance a religion.

Which war in the Middle East was NOT also a religious war?

So we never picked a side before?

I think we pretty much have to step in to prevent genocide—especially because our actions have helped bring it about. The best way to do that is a question mark. Right now it seems like we’re doing the absolute minimum to be able to claim we’re helping.

The Mideast is such a mess that I almost think you need to have a war for the parties to exhaust themselves and, finally, establish a new normal and make peace. The only problem is that Obama seems to have a soft spot of the Muslim Brotherhood and the knife out for our traditional allies, including Israel.

ISIS is clearly backed by someone with deep pockets. Logic would lead one to those who are Sunni and those who have the cash to sponsor such activities. Saudi Arabia leaps to mind.

Not bloody likely, at least not the government, which means the Royal Family.

ISIS claims to be a caliphate. There is and can be only one caliph. If ISIS were to take over Saudi, the royals would be slaughtered to the last man. (The women would get to be sex slaves for the caliph and his buds.)

Which doesn't mean there aren't wealthy and powerful non-royals inside Saudi who might be supporting ISIS.

Awhile back, when ISIS was just beginning to take Iraq, an astute Englishman made this observation:
So let me get this right. We support the Iraq government in the fight against ISIS. We don’t like ISIS, but ISIS is supported by Saudi Arabia who we do like. We don’t like Assad in Syria. We support the fight against him, but ISIS is also fighting against him. We don’t like Iran, but Iran supports the Iraqi government in its fight against ISIS. So some of our friends support our enemies, some enemies are now our friends, and some of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies, who we want to lose, but we don’t want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win. If the people we want to defeat are defeated, they could be replaced by people we like even less, and all this was started by us invading a country to drive out terrorists who were not actually there until we went in to drive them out. I think I’ve got it.

Perhaps it's time for the US to rethink its alliances?

Obama: ‘We’re Leaving Behind a Sovereign, Stable and Self-Reliant Iraq’

The Liberal Stage for all to witness. Ask a lib, "are you safer today than 7 years ago?"

Ask a lib anything and they are likely to go ballistic because they are in charge and have no answer for anything. The Nation is broke,the poor are poorer, the weak are weaker, and I've just saved 15% on my Car insurance.

Yeah. I think we should let religious fanatics kill everyone else, then that will end religious wars.
