Do we have any moral high ground over ISIS?

[Juche105]

I am not defending ISIS in any way, shape, or form. They are terrible people, and the obvious result of conservative thinking. All I'm asking is whether the US has any right whatsoever to criticize ISIS, when it is so similar in practice.

Lots of American propaganda calls ISIS out for having sex slaves, abusing women and participating in rape. But how is that better than our own rape culture at home? 1 in 5 women will be raped on an American college campus. Controversial 1-in-5 sexual assault statistic validated in new national survey | USA TODAY College https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...a64_story.html . And employers in the US pay a woman only 75 cents to a man's dollar for the same exact work. Pay equity information Shouldn't we start treating our own women better before telling ISIS to do the same?

Much fuss has been made over ISIS beheadings and public executions. But how is that better than our own death penalty here in the USA, which allows the right wing to brutally torture and kill people they deem unworthy of life? And how is a public beheading of an innocent journalist different from a white policeman shooting a handcuffed, unarmed african american, and being hailed as a HERO by the right wing for it?

Furthermore, we criticize ISIS for attacking other countries and trying to take their land. But how is this different from us invading Iraq and Afghanistan for their oil?

And just a quick note about terrorism, you are far more likely to die from Christian terrorism than from Islamic terrorism. Christian terrorism is a bigger threat to U.S. freedom than Islamic extremism If you meet a muslim in the street alongside a christian, the christian is TWICE as likely to kill you in an act of violence.

Simply put, can anybody tell me why we shouldn't clean our own house up before trying to bomb an organization thousands of miles away who are doing no worse than what we are doing right now?

If you were going to defend ISIS, how would you do it?
