True, but not actually what the Ayatollah is talking about.

Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates are getting on the field! (Staging out of Jordan.)

Lemme guess- they're flying everybody's soldiers and airmen over to the combat zone First Class, with complimentary hot towels and on-board wifi.

Yeah, pretty much. Like I said, killing them is one thing, killing their ideas is something totally different. We're talking about two choices here:

One, Westernize them.
Two, mass genocide and subsequent Lebenstraum-like re-colonization.

While two is not a logical or even practical application, obviously, Option One is probably even less so.
How will you "Westernize"a Madrassa? These are the religious schools the kids go to for religious indoctrination, and by their nature are very conservative in their approach. You are looking at generational change here, not a quick fix.

That was exactly my point...that it's utterly impossible.

At least, in the current environment.

I read a story (news report or somesuch) that described the inside of one of them. It had paintings of a bunch of virgins all splashing around in fountains and rivers.

My thought was, "That sounds like a water park!" Maybe all they need is a couple of water parks over them to get them to see the light.

QuoteEgyptian warplanes struck hard at ISIS militants in neighboring Libya a day after a sickening video surfaced showing the terror army's black-clad militants beheading 21 Coptic Christians, footage that prompted Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi to vow revenge in an address to the world's most populous Arab nation.

If by 'water park' you mean 'excitable, hot females,' then yes. Yes, they need a LOT more of those over there.

I've only seen one AP article on it so far in the past 4 days, which is odd; but with the local Snowpocalypse having finally arrived (and my Russian campaign on DarkestHourAARmod having finally kicked off) I haven't been paying much attention to news directly.
