The camel's nose

No doubt the reason why the West has no plan to deal with ISIS is because the camel has more than its nose in Europe's tent. Fear is always what grips the weak and irresolute. The West is unprepared to deal with the Islamists within its borders should they take decisive action against ISIS. Scratch the aversge Muslim and you will discover they believe Islam should conquer the world --- if necessary by force. Note the sword on Saudi Arabia's flag. ISIS has adopted the ancient notion (found in Deuteronomy) of laying waste the world of the Infidel, Dar al-Harb. Nothing has changed since Palestinians danced in the streets on 9/11.
