Time to nuke the lot of them. As Ann Coulter once said, nuke ‘em, take their oil and convert the survivors to Christianity.
This ritualistic crap reminds me more of a big, Jim Jones kook aid party than any form of “government”.
What the new caliphate means for the world?
To be, or not to be…
that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: ‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th’oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of dispriz’d love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th’unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere’d country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.
Hamlet Act 3, scene 1, 55–87
Quit piddlin around with these savages, vaporize them all.
Most of the world is in denial. I’m sure the screaming jihadis will be happy to take advantage of that fact.
It doesn’t mean a damn thing
..once a caliph has been declared, it is mandatory upon all Muslims to make a pledge of allegiance ...
Um, declared by whom exactly?
What if Iran so declares one, as well?
Does this bind Iranian citizens now or what?
It will be easier when the targets are identified.
Has Obama made his pledge, yet?
