As long as a non-whites and non-christians are carrying out rapes and murders it’s all okay to the satanic media!

Once Caucasians start pillaging, they get their moral compass bent.

Wishful thinking.
The problems in that specific “faith” are systemic.

New York Times article exposing the horrific barbarism of ISIS. Who woke these idiots up, a little late to the BBQ dont ya think?

All wars have atrocities often excused by ideology or religion. What makes ISIS so reprehensible is the relative scope and viscountess of the murders and enslavement relative to the population numbers affected. They use this self righteous cruelty as a recruiting banner for others of their religion. Other Muslims share ISIS interpretation of Islam, many other Muslins. The encouragement to kill and torture with impunity is desirable in Islam.

Of course you can find similar situations in history but how does that absolve ISIS of blame. Situational ethics, anyone?

The Livonian Brothers of the Sword (Latin: Fratres militiæ Christi Livoniae, German: Schwertbrüderorden) were a military order established by their second bishop, Bishop Albert of Riga, in 1202. Pope Innocent III sanctioned the establishment in 1204 for the second time. The membership of the order comprised German "warrior monks". Alternative names of the Order include Christ Knights, Sword Brethren, and The Militia of Christ of Livonia.

Following their defeat by the Samogitians and Semigallians in the Battle of Schaulen (Saule) in 1236, the surviving Brothers merged into the Teutonic Order as an autonomous branch and became known as the Livonian Order.

I ran across this when I was browsing about the Crusades, and remembered the reference, because people sometimes talk of the need of a militarized Crusade, and here is an ancient Christian order that ceased to be and is like an order with no members. Like, lying around, unused. Just needs a new battery and a tank of gas ;)

You have to admit, the Order of the "Sword Brothers" is pretty good as names go ;)

Last week General Ray Odierno retired after 39 years in the Army and on his way out said President Obama has never spoken directly with him about a plan to defeat ISIS.
