ISIS justification by Londyn Alexander

In a recent article regarding the terrorist group ISIS, it explains the groups reasoning or justification for their extreme violations of human rights. Many violations consist of human trafficking, forced marriages, forced religion conversions, and sexual assaults. The terrorist group claims their heinous actions can be supported by Islamic law. However dedicated muslims are speaking out, saying it's a perverted interpretation of islamic law. Among other things ISIS is invading civilians homes driving them out of communities and even towns. Selling of women as sex slaves has also become a major issue, claiming these human beings are simply "spoils of war."


The terrorist group needs to be stopped in some way, but I don't think as a country America should be involved until a threat is acted upon. ISIS is like many other groups who claim they have justification, but have been disproven by true followers and believers of the islamic religion. They don't have anything to stand on to make their case, similar to groups before them. Based on this I do see ISIS as a threat, but they are not ineradicable. I  believe  they can be defeated with collaboration, without getting to deeply involved,that it will result in a negative outcome for our country.

  2. I agree with you, I don't think we as a country should intervene unless a threat is acted upon. The fact that so many people are quick to jump to violent reactions is scary. Not that ISIS hasn't done things to warrant some reaction.
