Who is more committed to defeating Daesh? Right wing keyboard warriors? Or Muslims, with skin in the game, fighting on the field of battle against Daesh? We report, you decide.

Iraqi Special Operations Forces – Golden Division

No one wants to see ISIS defeated more than Muslims

The so-called Islamic State is the enemy of Islam. In fact, ISIS is the enemy of Judaism, Christianity, Yazidism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, atheism and all others who oppose its evil and barbaric agenda. The difference, however, is that Muslims suffer by far the most from ISIS’ horrific attacks

oh lord. not another thread like this.. ISIS is an Islamic terrorist state ( Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).
Of course it's not all of Islam -but it is part of Islam - a significant part - salafi jihadi..

Part of salafi is the idea of takfiri -which is why it targets other Muslims,abut also Christians and jews of being apostates

A takfiri (Arabic: تكفيري‎‎ takfīrī) is a Muslim who accuses another Muslim (or an adherent of another Abrahamic faith) of apostasy. The accusation itself is called takfir, derived from the word kafir (unbeliever), and is described as when "one who is, or claims to be, a Muslim is declared impure."

Oh dear a post which doesn't buy into clash of civilizations bullshit! How dare this be allowed!
 
Islam has been at war with everyone listed in the OP since 632, which can be viewed as a sort of clash of cultures.

"Another thread like this?

What an odd comment from someone who has started, what, like eight thousand threads about "deep state" comedy?

If you think the vast majority of Muslims are normal people who do not support violent fundamentalism, you have a funny way of showing it. Because I don't recall seeing you start a thread about it, or scolding the practitioners of Islamophobia.

Here is a tip for you: Today, right now, even perhaps at this very moment, fellow Americans who happen to be Muslim, face discrimination, humiliation, hostility, and yes even assault in large measure because of the resentment and bigotry spread by the Islamophobia industry. And it remains unchecked, by people like you.

That in itself is a far larger threat to a civil society and our democratic and egalitarian traditions, than the largely imaginary threats posed by "Deep State" to your hero, Donald J. Drumpf.

This old Buddhist doesn't care about Islamic sensibilities, or how it gets along in a mainly Christian/Jew west.

It's not up to me to tell them how to reform. I have a pet theory the religion was fractured by assassination (Ali)
in the beginning ( Sunni-Shia split causing the endless sectarian wars and internecine warfare).
I have 0 interest in Islam other then that as theology.

I have a general interest in counter-terrorism. Islamic jihadi is a great fuel for terrorists to run on
