“It’s not just ISIS, it’s ANY Islam. Americans are ignorant, do not know what the Koran teaches, and are so focused on earning more money than they need and on being entertained. “
Actually half the population is barely literate and dependent on government and doesn’t care about anything except their government checks, sex, reality television, and sports. Unless the barbarians are at the gates, threatening to cut off the gravy, they don’t care about what is happening in the rest of the world.
The other half of the population is burned out working to support the non producers. Unless the barbarians are at the gate threatening their lives they don’t have the time or energy to care.
One advantage of our geographic location, is our population is not at risk from land based armies and fighting in other parts of the world. As long as airliners aren’t crashing into buildings, or being blown from the skies, most Americans feel safe from foreign threats.
As to the few who do care, they have no political power. Obama is going to do nothing about Islamic terrorists in general, or Isis specifically. The Republican Congress is not going to fight Obama. Hence, even if you care, why spend time and energy tilting at windmills?
Your point is every bit as valid as #2, which I also agree with.
Liberals care.
The actually want muslims to kill every Jew and Christian on the planet.
They’re nutless nazis who think letting someone else do the job will keep their hands clean.

True.
Though we’ve (the average person) had to adjust to giving up some civil liberties or having them constricted post 9/11 - all for good (national) security reasons. Besides, having ‘terrorist attack alerts’ going up every so often in western countries is not exactly a comforting thought. Doubtful any amount of ISIS killing muslims in some faraway lands is going to change that.
What will get their attention is a Beslan-style attack on an American school. One armed nutjob can enter one of these "gun-free zones" and take out dozens. Imagine what a team of terrorists will do...
It's most unfortunate that something like THAT will be needed to make Americans face the cruel reality of this very real threat.
