It’s Not Just ISIS That’s a Threat

The Obama administration is warning that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham poses a serious threat to this country. Presumably, it feels the need to explain why we are now dropping bombs on ISIS forces as much as to anticipate future attacks on us by their operatives.

So does the Islamic State menace Americans? You bet it does. Even before President Obama launched air strikes against the group’s combatants, ISIS murderers of Christians, children and fellow Muslims were explicitly threatening us. That’s because the doctrine that guides ISIS – the supremacist Islamic code of shariah – mandates jihad to force the entire world to submit.

Unfortunately, a lot of other people adhere to shariah and also seek to impose it globally. Like ISIS, they cannot be appeased, and must be defeated.
