QUESTION;
Where have these ISIS 'monsters' come from ?
ANSWER;
These ISIS 'monsters', day by day, year by year, have been, and are, a creation of the philosophy known as ISLAM [and, of the moslem community].Oh woe is me! Oh woe is me!
Those poor [impoverished] moslem extremists!
ISLAM is not the cause, the inspiration, of moslem extremism and violence!
Oh no!
Moslem extremism is caused by the circumstance and the poverty of moslems, and their lack of a pluralist education!
Don't ya know, those poor moslem extremists are
only struggling only
REVOLTING. ...against their ignorance and their poverty!
....that is the argument which has been proffered by the peaceful 'moderate' moslems,
....and an argument that has then been taken up as a social cause, by the 'do-gooder' leftists and political 'progressives' in the West....

Quote:UK Muslima, a doctor, happily poses with severed head: “Dream Job”
Sep 10, 2014 09:22 pm | Robert Spencer
Yet another jihadist gets the crazy idea that “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4) means “when you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks.”
Obviously only someone who knows nothing about Islam could make a mistake like that.
And she is a doctor to boot.
