You know Greg, I really don't get you sometimes. You always try to discredit information or opinion that doesn't conform to your ideology simply because it comes from someone who doesn't conform to your ideology. That makes you come across as as much of an idealogue as are the extremists. For instance in the piece I excerpted what part of that paragraph do you have a problem with?

That ISIS is a terrorist group?

That they are an offshoot of al-Qaeda? - Read this from NBC News (if they are on your acceptable source list).

That they are planning to take their jihad to Jordan, Lebanon, the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula? - there is a source provided for that info

That they have captured large parts of Syria and Iraq? That's all over the news today.
