@rezaaslan yes, but the point is that they don't care about Syria or Iraq or the secular state. See my friend's blog: http://www.paulheck.org/liberation-isis-style/ …
ISIS is not an IRAQI organization folks. It has Iraqis in it, but it is transnational. It came into Iraq from Syria.

@Quicksilver2723@rezaaslan Are we supposed to have amnesia? To forget the lying Bush/Cheney regime and how they set the ME on fire? -
@KCBoyd3 In the past, it was possible to induce nat'l amnesia to rewrite historical narratives. We're pushing back now. We remember.
