"Someone please rescue me from a creepy religion that forces me to dress like this when I take my kids to a community water spray park on a 95 degree day and my husband gets to frolic with the kids wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and his "Ireland" baseball cap."

Were you listening to the NPR piece this morning regarding the women only beaches in Turkey?
I missed that, but I'm sure my more NPR savvy wife can fill me in.
I heard that…i believe they call it 'Halal Travel'.

Correct!
Are you with me yet?

Alright, it's time we start taking out some of these militant Islamists. Enough is enough, right? Who's with me?

Care to elaborate?

James wrote:Sure. How many American soldiers and foreign civilians do you think is acceptable collateral damage to avenge one reporter's death?
Care to elaborate?
The US is not the world's police. ISIS has, literally, no effect on the general American's life. It's the very definition of "not our problem." It is a catastrophic waste of life and money to go deal with some nuts who are taking part in a religious uprising in another country.
Should we go into the DPRK next? Hundreds of thousands more people are being killed and repressed there than in ISIS controlled territories. Should we go into Columbia? I mean, at some point, you just have to go "this has nothing to do with us." I'm sad a journalist was murdered but I don't think the appropriate response is a multi-billion dollar action that will kill tons of innocent people.
Did you have the same thoughts about al-Quaeda pre-9/11?

James wrote:Yes, because the documented scope and ability of ISIS vs al-Qaeda pre-9/11 are totally equivalent. That's such a legitimate equivalency you're making there. You know, I heard about these Irish teenagers who scribbled anti-American rhetoric on a building and robbed a cornershop; I suppose we should invade the United Kingdom too.
