“Now let's make two things clear: ISIL is not 'Islamic.' No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL's victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state. It was formerly al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria's civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government, nor the people it subjugates. ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple. And it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.” PeopleWayHas BeensTwoWarStatesRealityGovernmentReligionPoliticsSidesCommunityLeadershipSimpleVisionClassTakenClearViolenceGenerationsPolicyPureEthicsGainsAdvantageOrganizationVictimMajorityStrategyUnityKillingHuman RightsIraqTerrorismTerroristIdeologyBordersCivil WarTwo ThingsIslamicAlsTerritoryForeign PolicySyriaStrifeBoth SidesSlaughterAl QaedaIsilIslamic TerrorismTaken Advantage Author:Barack Obama
