Study Group: Apocalyptic Islam, or a Jihadic Perversion of the Faith? - ISIS Goes Global

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and its self-declared Caliphate was born in the vitriolic bowels of the U.S. Army prison system (i.e. Abu Ghraib) in Iraq by disgruntled people such as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. It spread like a prairie fire and set up shop in the failed state of Syria. Thus ISIS has become a force to be reckoned with on the world stage. Its tentacular growth has now leapfrogged into blowing up a Russian airliner and putting Paris in a stage of siege, shutting it down in a series of attacks, creating a new Reign of Terror. Well, where to go from here, what to do now? We are hoping for some scintillating discussions on some of these very controversial topics.
