"SO-CALLED Islamic State"

[Homeless Nutter]

Because we have to say "so-called" just so we don't anger other Islamic groups into terror, for daring to suggest Islam is violent.

Anyone else noticed this irony in the news, or is it just me?

If we want the ISIS situation to be handled by surrounding countries - which we do, since we've learned that putting US/UN boots on the ground tends to make the situation in the region progressively worse - AND if almost all of those countries are essentially islamic states, doesn't it kind of makes sense, to try and publicly downplay the role of religion in the conflict?

We're NOT going to be able to defeat ISIS AND shame the arabic nations to denounce islam at the same time. I think complaining about politicians not "saying like it is" is pretty naive. It's their job. It's called - diplomacy.
