Is Western Culture to Blame for ISIS Beheadings?

Let's face it, this jihadism could appeal to anybody.

-You get to kill people without remorse--endless amounts of them, and they can be innocent
-Or do things like this, close-up
-You get to enslave people
-You get to subjugate/enslave women and live in a scathingly misogynist culture
-All under the guise of: as a reward in the afterlife, you'll have endless sex with countless virgins

And remember: this is all God-approved.

That sounds like a loser beacon to me for every emasculated, douchebag, power-craving asshole on the planet.

I think it's time to start calling this what it is: a cult.

They probably just got rejected by women one too many times. So now, fully pissed off, they're off to carve out a place in the world where women can't reject them.

As awful as this is, and it's going to be awful and a mess for a long, long time..

But the 1 good thing is, maybe, and hopefully the thought that everyone and every country on the planet wants and needs democracy will be erased from the American mentality and our foreign policy..

I blame bad parenting and perverting 7th century "convert or die" antiquarian teaching into modern political goal getting. We should have air-dropped Jack Daniels and Hustler mags on IS long ago

It's going to be the Middle East version of World War Two.
