I believe you are right in that.
Salafists in our Country, and other Salafists outside that area in which ISIS is trying to establish a Caliphate are sitting on the fence.
If ISIS is more successful, these Salafist fence sitters might join the fight to our detriment. -Tom
I must sound naive, but it's just stupid for these "Leaders " (especially Western ones) to keep saying "ISIS has nothing to do with Islam or is un-Islamic". It'd be far more sensible to actually explain Salafism/Wahhabism (ISIS) as a matter of fact, call a spade a spade, say "Houston we've got a problem", and work out a viable solution.
