#Hashtags and Statements Are Not Enough

Europe Is Not at War, the Islamic State is
Despite the rhetoric used during the last two days, Europe doesn’t act as if it were at war with the Islamic State (ISIS). The countries continue approaching the issue as a criminal problem, as one of radical minorities. But the Islamic State has actually decided to declare war.

Richard Kemp is interviewed by Michael Gurfinkel
"The international community has blood on its hands."
http://pjmedia.com/blog/uk-commander-slams-worlds-weak-response-to-human-shields-for-causing-terrorists-to-use-them-more/?singlepage=trueIslamist terrorists have no interest in protecting their civilian populations. They are happy to use them as human shields, to terrify them, to risk and to sacrifice their lives. Whatever happens, the terrorist who uses human shields wins. If he deters Western forces from attacking his terrorists and his munitions, then he scores a tactical victory. He can attack our troops with impunity.
