| [Guardian] Former counter-terror head at MI6 says Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... 's biggest challenge will be controlling dissent A large-scale uprising from people living under the totalitarian regime of Islamic State (Isis) is the most likely trigger that will lead to the undoing of the self-declared caliphate, according to an authoritative report into the jihadi group by the former head of counter-terrorism at MI6. |

| #3 "#1 You don't have a problem dealing with dissent when all you have to do is kill it off." With respect, not true. Works for a while but the secondary and tertiary consequences gather strength and finally bite the perp where it hurts and then the primary consequences kick in and the perp is done. So are a lot of others. One can pay with a gun at the fast food drive thru one or maybe a few times. But not many more than that. |
