Let's ask the world a hypothetical question. If ISIS the terrorist group was predominantly composed of White people and was about Christian extremism opposed to Islamic extremism, how do you think the world's reaction to it would differ?
I honestly think that the world would be more inclined to seriously act and take it out immediately. I think most of the West still has hang-ups about Naziism and would therefore be fast to stop our own from going down the same path, and that people would be less likely to blow it off. Given that the Middle East is so notorious for terrorism and violence in the modern western mind, I believe that we have a tendency to dismiss ISIS as "just another terrorist group" and therefore not take it seriously.
That's also not to mention that the Democrats in America would probably be more likely to speak out against ISIS if it was White and Christian since they wouldn't have to abide by the political correctness stuff, and therefore American society itself would take it more seriously since I believe that the public is a bit more trusting of the Democrats than the Republicans who seemingly want to go to war with everyone (although I personally hate both equally).

How often do you see a christian extremist?
-
Christians do kill people and commit atrocities, but it isn't their relIgious doctrine. Muslims do kill people and commit atrocities, it is their religious doctrine.
-
If it was, it wouldn't be Christianity. It would be a terrorist religion. Period.
-
People would still despise them and want them killed for murdering kids.
-
It would be the KKK

[quote]That's also not to mention that the Democrats in America would probably be more likely to speak out against ISIS if it was White and Christian since they wouldn't have to abide by the political correctness stuff[/quote]...how did you arrive at that conclusion? People, democrats and republicans alike, strongly speak out against ISIS. Do you think democrats suppress their opposition to ISIS because they're afraid of hurting their feelings? C'mon, son...
-
They would have been wiped out
-
If ISIS was CSIS, the only thing that would change is the targets of the killings.

Ever hear of the KKK?
-
It doesn't matter what religion they are, ISIS leaders want more land and power so they will use Islam as there weapon and shield. Really they are not actually Islamic because all main religions speak of peace and the love of God and not to murder. However leaders of the religion use it as a weapon to conquer and become rich then a shield when they are caught.
-
Wouldn't that pretty much be the KKK?
-
ISIS being white+Christian=KKK
-
I don't consider those in ISIS to be Muslims at all anyway. Islam is a peaceful religion, those that terrorise other countries or groups of people "in the name of Allah" are not following the teachings of Islam in doing that.
-
It would be called the IRA

Fucking [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] Germany.
-
That already happened, it was called [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] Germany
-
So [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url]?
-
The world would support them, and they would be unstoppable.
-
I bet you can't guess who said it. Duck dynasty or isis?
-
Plot twist: they are.
-
The bible says convert the infidels the Koran says kill them but both agree kill -blam!- adulterers satanists
-
So... westboro baptist, but they kill people? For them to be a white group, they'd have to be from one of the countries that are predominantly white, most of which are first world countries who would have no problem dealing with a group of domestic terrorists. The problem isn't that ISIS is full of brown people, its that they're in a ass-backwards part of the world, where the locals can't stop them. Other countries don't really have a reason to directly interfere with them yet since they aren't attacking anyone but themselves yet.
-
What if... OP is fgt?
-
Islam commands its followers to behead infidels and apostates. Christianity says to love your enemies. Yeah. Some threat.
-
they wouldn't be ISIS, they'd be some other acronym.
