If you are cool with extreme American fundies being killed, you should apply that to all fundies one would think. Correct?

(17,064 posts)before attacking the US directly on 9/11... which required a high degree of organization and financing. ISIS has conducted no large scale terror attacks, and is a long way from getting the organizational skills and money necessary to carry out an attack in the US.
Are they brutal thugs? Yes.
Are they a threat to stability in the ME? Yes.
Are they a threat to economic interests in the ME? Yes.
Are they a threat to westerners in the ME? Hell, they're a threat to every person in the ME.
However, none of that makes them a threat on US soil. If the Westboro assholes want to conduct a suicide protest in Iraq, good riddance.

(25,026 posts)that one must then reconcile not wanting to go to war with the foreign fundies?
There is nothing that requires any reconciliation. Maybe if someone was advocating a war with the domestic nutters it would be something but that isn't the context here. If ISIS says they would all like to pop off and leap into a volcano the same folks wanting to raise plane fair, I'm sure will be happy to donate to that too.

(255 posts)I gave my opinions on the thread you're referring to.
Anyway, post #6 explains it.
It's fine with me if Westboro wants to go to Iraq and protest ISIS, and I'm feeling generous so I'm willing to help buy them a one way ticket.
