The West must wage total war. A counterinsurgency using low-intensity military force augmented by nation-building, rule-of law development, and armed social work projects in the hope of transitioning the Islamic world to governance regimes less likely to
spawn future generations of Islamists has failed. Total war requires far more against an enemy hostile to Western constitutional democracy and bent on conquest. All instruments of national power—including conventional and nuclear force and PSYOPs— must be harnessed to win two decisive battles: (1) an offensive, to capture the hearts and minds of Islamic peoples, break their will to fight for Islamism, and leave them prepared to coexist with the West or be utterly eradicated, and (2) a defensive, to prevent Islamists from capturing the hearts and minds of peoples of the West, breaking their will to fight, and submitting the West to Islamism or eradication.

they say its' because they're pagan sites, but given how patchwork their religious beliefs are, it pretty much comes down to "this is gonna make people mad lol"

Isis might as well throw qurans up in the air and play boggle with the pages it falls open to, their interpretation of Islam might be more consistent with anything ever

it's rare but it has happened with the nobel prize.

i dunno if there's a nobel category that makes sense, not that they always make sense anyway, but still I hope there's some recognition because that guy is a supreme badass
