In reply to the discussion: What ISIS Really Wants (The Atlantic) [View all]Duppers
(28,260 posts)44. when will ISIS come to blows with their funders, the House of Saud?
As long as the oil money continues to flow?
I'm not trying to divert the discussion from the importance of religion. Just wish the world would convert to alternative energies and cut off this religion's money source.
My hat's off to this poster, olegramps:
"The Islamists' sole determination is to impose their religion on every living man, woman and child. They view anyone who opposes their goal to establish a theocracy as an enemy of their faith and an enemy worthy of death.
We are not immune to this threat. It is little different than what the extreme right wing Republicans preach when they want to make their interpretation of the Judeo-Christian teachings the law of the land. This message is preached daily by the Christian Ayatollahs who are intent of destroying secular government which they view as un-godly atheism.
Superstitious beliefs are the plague of mankind and the real enemy of peace."
