I thought the Kurds were primarily Christian. There is no excuse for this sort of barbarism...none!

It’s all Muslims understand. The Kurds are doing more to deter future attacks than all of the West combined. I’m behind them 100 percent. They should do more.

The Kurds are mostly Sunni Muslims but they are a fairly tolerant society: there have long been Christian and Jewish Kurds. I rather consider what happened as "unprofessional" than barbaric, sort of like being at a Board of Directors meeting and farting loudly at the table. Barbaric is burning someone alive.

Not my understanding. They're a milder branch of Sunni, as I recall. Saladin was a Kurd.

I don't think you understand. War is not nice. It has one goal; winning. That goal is accomplished by killing people and destroying their stuff. Particularly among ISIS, there are no "honorable dead enemies," there are only "dead enemies." You want to survive against animals like that, you kill them and drag their bodies through the streets.

It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it. -Robert E. Lee

No.

Are you serious? You truly don't have any idea of the evil that is ISIS.

I seriously suggest you talk with people who have been in the Hell of War.

I applaud the Kurds.

they’re moslems. The ones I know personally, I stay far away as possible. I don’t turn my back to any.
