The terror group’s bloodthirsty savagery must be destroyed.

The time is now for Civilization to pulverize the Islamic State and render it indistinguishable from the sands from which it crawled. These primitive, bloodthirsty savages combine the genocidal zeal of the Khmer Rouge with the transnational appeal of militant Islam. Like Hitler’s Einsatzgruppen, these terrorists machine gun those they hate and then pack ditches with their cadavers. Like Robespierre, they have an insatiable thirst for beheading. And like Tiberius, they dangle Christians — among others — from crosses. The Islamic State literally has resurrected crucifixion.
All of this would be hideous enough if this group had the good manners to limit its barbarism to Iraq and Syria. While exterminating these butchers would remain crucial for human rights and global stability, a strictly Middle Eastern Islamic State would not necessarily threaten the U.S. homeland. Alas, this rump regime has America and its allies in its cross hairs.
“Come O Muslims to your honor, to your victory,” states
the group’s June 29 declaration of an Islamic caliphate. “By Allah, if
you disbelieve in democracy, secularism, nationalism, as well as all the
other garbage and ideas from the west, and rush to your religion and
creed, then by Allah, you will own the Earth, and the east and west will
submit to you.”
Reuters reports that the Islamic State produced a video last month titled “Breaking the American Cross — Soon.” It predicts that the “Islamic State defeated USA.”
An English-speaking Islamic State terrorist said in an August 7 video:
“God willing, we will raise the flag of Allah in the White House.” Two
days later, these renegades released a photo of someone holding up a
smart phone on Pennsylvania Avenue, just outside the Executive Mansion.
Its screen showed the Islamic State flag. Above it, the caption read:A message from ISIS to US
We are in your state
We are in your cities
We are in your streets
You are our goals anywhere
Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
was in U.S. custody in Iraq for four years, until his 2009 discharge.
Before walking away to return to jihad, this terror master’s last comment to American soldiers was: “See you in New York.”It would be comforting to dismiss all of this as mere bluster. Alas, intelligence officials in Washington believe some 300 Americans with U.S. passports are fighting for the Islamic State today. (Its members Douglas McAuthur McCain of San Diego — a.k.a. Duale Khalid, his Muslim name — and Abdirahmaan Muhumed of Minneapolis were killed last week, while battling the Free Syrian Army.) So are hundreds, if not thousands, of westerners with European passports. At any point, these vicious, combat-fortified, Islamic-extremist killers can lay down their weapons and drive to Amman, Beirut, or Istanbul. They can fly from such cities, switch jets in Athens, Frankfurt, or London; and land — without visas — in New York, Chicago, or San Francisco. Then the excitement would begin.
“If we ignore them, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month and America in another month,” Saudi King Abdullah warned last week. “Terrorism knows no border, and its danger could affect several countries outside the Middle East,” he said. The Saudi monarch added: “You see how the jihadists carry out beheadings and make children show the severed heads in the street.” He told a group of foreign ambassadors, including U.S. envoy Joseph Westphal, “I ask you to transmit this message to your leaders: ‘Fight terrorism with force, reason, and speed.’”
Message not received.
“There’s no timetable for solving these problems that’s going to meet the cable news cycle speed,” senior White House aide Dan Pfeifer told the Washington Post.
So, what’s the rush?
Like Pfeifer, Obama blames these perils on his TV set. And don’t forget Twitter and Facebook.
“If you watch the nightly news, it feels like the world is falling apart,” Obama said Friday. “The world’s always been messy,” he observed. “We’re just noticing now in part because of social media.”
Obama made these remarks on August 29, the day after he offered these unsettling words while wearing an elegant and thoroughly appropriate summer suit:
I don’t want to put the cart before the horse. We don’t have a strategy yet. I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we’re at than we currently are . . . But there’s no point in me asking for action on the part of Congress before I know exactly what it is that is going to be required for us to get the job done.
