This applies to ALL of the gangs you mentioned here. charlie ehlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584863034307604847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-69353999824775929672015-10-20T01:48:17.946+05:302015-10-20T01:48:17.946+05:30It was nice lo learn someone is taking time to res...It was nice lo learn someone is taking time to research. <br /><br />There is one word you wrote, FAITH. This word is different than religion.<br />FAITH is global while religion is regional.<br /><br />Some of the countries you mentioned are driven by RELIGION. U.S.A. is driven by a GOVERNMENT. The regions you are interested do not recognize GOVERNMENT; instead, they follow RELIGION as their only guide to rule. GOVERNMENT accepts RELIGION within its system and believes that a RELIGION should not be used to disregard life. Here is where the truth lies not FAITH.Silvia Delarivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071880317456351110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7826101215822428783.post-73234988221285135552015-10-19T19:32:54.870+05:302015-10-19T19:32:54.870+05:30Religion is a handy excuse, yeah.

Early on, they'd kill one American, then one Brit, then one Frenchman, etc., just to make sure they made everyone mad. Because they're nowhere if the West doesn't freak out about them. <br /><br />Not to mention beheading one person at a time is the least effective method of murdering people. A car bomb could take out way more people - meaning that they're only doing this for the press and not the bang. <br /><br />In fact, if ISIS was the villain in an action movie, I'd roll my eyes and say it was too cartoonish to be believed.

Many things come to mind: the hypocrisy inherent in human nature; the moral bankruptcy of the excuse "I was just following orders"; and a warning against judging others to harshly.
