--- HAS ISIL ALREADY WON? ---

I do not believe in ISIL, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, or the Taliban. I am not Muslim. I am not Islamic. I don't even know what ANY of these organizations stand for.
I am an American.
The country I was born in is a Christian nation based upon religious freedom.
The country I find myself in now, though geographically is the same as my birth, I find that we have lost something...
I hear major politicians openly stating that we must kill all ISIL members.
#6 of the Christian, God given, ten commandments is – Thou shalt not kill.
I hear major politicians openly stating that we must restrict individuals that believe in one of the world's major religions from entering this country.
What has happened to the founding concept of religious freedom in America?
How could we even conceive, let alone verbalize, the restriction of a religion into America?
Are these our ONLY alternatives?
It seems that with the options that we are given, the options we are installing, we lose who we are before we begin.
We lose the battle just by engaging in the battle.
ISIL, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, the Taliban & any other emerging or existing middle eastern anti-American/anti-christian group has struck a vein and the world is bleeding.
This is a world-wide war waged by isolated extremists groups that do not care to talk nor negotiate.
They don't wear uniforms.
Often they appear to be almost like ghosts...appearing out of nowhere, breeding on websites, moving inside the cracks of the Ethernet.
What is this thing that renders our traditional military almost useless?
What is this?
Where does the world find itself?
If this is a religious war, isn't a modern citizen of the world already past this juncture?
Are the violent outbreaks being used for political & monetary gain by ALL SIDES?
How do we fight this thing?
This thing that only wants to kill me. Only wishes to kill you.
They don't attempt to talk.
There is nothing to negotiate.
How does the free world engage this thing? This philosophy? This criminal element of a certain religious form.
This philosophy we have never seen before...the wordless philosophy of naked terror. Fear. Raw fear. Terror that seemingly cannot be ignored.
* THIS JUST IN * Trump has moved from 30% approval rating to 38% approval rating AFTER he came out with the anti-Muslim statement of restricting their entering America for a short period of time...until politicians can get their act together.
Thus...if we are engaged, Has ISIL Already Won?
Is there even a moral option? A civilized way? ...or is it already too late?
