      Sharp insights about ISIS & "lone wolf" terrorism starting here. Someone should storify!https://twitter.com/rcallimachi/status/672864532016922624 …

      1. Everytime someone carries out an attack in IS' name, we come back to the same question: Did IS pull it off? Or was attacker acting alone?

      To build on @rcallimachi's arguments a bit: ISIS is both a proto-state & an ideology. Proto-state can be "contained"; ideology can't

          @HeerJeet @rcallimachi The ISIS question is sort of like Sandy Hook-style shootings. Are they real? Real/fake but blackops? Cui bono?

          @HeerJeet The latter is important to note for pols who wail that US is insufficiently tough on ISIS and they have the solution to defeat it.

          @HeerJeet @rcallimachi & crude attempts to contain the proto-state can spread the ideology.

          @robertwrighter @HeerJeet @rcallimachi True. Quilliam is almost alone in making serious efforts to "contain" (deligitimize) the ideology.

          @HeerJeet @rcallimachi That's why we could militarily occupy both Iraq and Syria and still not defeat the ideology.
