#1 So, 2/3 of Muslim nations are neutral, at best, or supportive of ISIS.

Sounds like all those polls showing Muslims that are active supporters of terrorists vs. quiet supporters vs. against terrorists. Speaks to the rare "moderate Moslem".

#2 I think it might be appropriate to announce that the US will seek to establish an all moslem combat unit to fight against ISIS (later against Boko H or the Taliban or Al Shabab). First troops would be from existing US and British forces and these would train new volunteers.

It would be unrealistic to count on this reaching Division strength, but it should at least be enough to play a prominent role in the liberation of Raqqa.

Let's see if the various Imans in the West support it. If not, well it tells us something important and in a meaningful way.

Or they are shitholes from which ISIS is fleeing.

#4 India did not join (the usual we are Non-Allied etc.). Many are probably sitting it out until they get a big US bribe....
