Which religion would you sentence ISIS to join?

To mend the ways of ISIS and provide the missing balance,
which religion or cult would you sentence ISIS to join:
* Jehovah's Witness (against war and violence, and blood related procedures,
no witchcraft or secular holidays)
* Unification Church (mass marriages for peace and unity in one happy family)
* Buddhism (no violence, indoctrination, coercion, abuse of sex or intoxicants)
* Constitutionalism (due process, free exercise of religion, limited govt)
* Church of the Subgenius or other creative cult
* Christianity or Other (please specify which and why)

NOTE: If you vote for your own affiliation, please specify if you accept or don't accept responsibility for policing ISIS yourself,
but acknowledge you want to bestow this honor and responsibility on others in the group you recommend.

What variety of Quaker (?) doesn't allow sex or reproduction ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Quaker is a great answer in terms of nonviolence.
Not sure about teachings on sex and reproduction.
But I'm sure raping kidnapped women would be frowned upon.

Seems like there is a branch of something in Pennsylvania that is dying out because none of them ever had children. I'd like to see even more sexual frustration in the ME terror community.

I'd be torn between two different flavors of Christianity; Catholicism or Quakers

Quakers because of the whole "violence is bad" thing, but honestly I don't think it would have much impact.

I'd actually go for Catholicism, traditional SSPX Catholicism at that. Why? The sense of guilt that permanently seems to hang over them and the fact they get less opportunities to breed.

I think you are thinking of the Shakers. There is a wikipedia article on them.

Sounds like Islam...

I'd like to change my vote, I think they should all convert to "Heavens Gate" and attempt to return to the mothership.
