If I didn't see what these crazies are doing in pictures and videos that they themselves have posted, I'd be inclined to think that it was over the top propaganda. Instead these guys are far to real and it's disturbing that so called educated modern minds can sink so low.
In Genghis Khan's and Tamerlane's times there was no real rule of law, so might was right but I would think that in our day when we are supposed to be above this we would act better.
The ISIS crazies are experiencing a type of twisted religious ferver maybe equivalent to what the Vikings had when going to war. This is pretty hard to combat when what they experience is so wild that they think it's the end all and be all of human experience and so everything else is wrong. This is why they can't accept other religions because they truly believe they're right.
