But this is my point, I am prepared to bet that ISIS carry as much support in the US as Pol Pot or the Westboro Baptists but since they are the current baddy of record governments are happy to use even the faintest link to push through something unpopular.
It was once argued that these fanatical groups "hate us for our freedoms" yet these days the very mention of ISIS and we happily throw away our freedoms to be safe, essentially Al Qaeda won because in our rush to defend ourselves from one or two thousand lunatics worldwide we have turned ourselves into police and security states.
I still believe that it is time we dropped the word terrorist from our lexicon and started to refer to them as what they are religious fanatics, murderers and nutjobs.
