I would agree that Isis does not represent a realistic threat to our country. Maybe the odd issue or two, but not a threat to the country's security. Fareed Zakaria did a special on Isis and he nailed it essentially saying the threat is not realistic because they a) aren't that big b) are too radical in their lifestyles to sway the masses in the bigger picture Middle East c) are bleeding money because oil was a primary source of revenue until it got slammed d) if the world really wanted to would squash them in a second and e) if they really were so strong and mighty etc they wouldn't need to do the mass propaganda machine they've invented because people would naturally move their direction. There is nowhere to go now for Isis.
