I hope for world peace.
As long as ISIS is around, there will not be any peace.
They are killing innocent people for no reason at all.
I hope that the governments of the world eliminated ISIS.
If not, then I pray for divine power to eliminate this terrorist group that hides behind the name of religion.

Don't you find it ironic that you and so many others are calling on divine power to defeat an organization inspired by divine power? They are killing innocent people for a different god than the one you wish to kill them with. Surely, this is a problem of humanity, and one which can only be solved by leaving religion out of the picture.

They are just making use of religion, not really inspired by divine power.
Islam is a very peaceful religion.
You can see the kind of passiveness that is prevalent among the devout Muslims.
They do not gamble, do not drink, are not materialistic, and they always put family first.

@scheng1 - There are certainly many good and kind Muslims, just as there is much that is good about Islam. But, like all religions, Islam is filled with contradictions and some of these are used by people to justify acts of great inhumanity.

I am in complete agreement. I hope you get your wish. We will have to pray for divine intervention because as it is right now there are only a few country leaders that are willing to do that. The others are thinking that action is to barbaric. I am just hoping for a new president here that has a brain and realizes not all humans are humane. I would like to see one with military background or at the very least approval.

The problem with governments is that there are too many people making too much noise, and not enough money to do all the things that they want.
if you want to eradicate terrorists, that means a lot of manpower and technical resources to track down, and to kill them.

I agree and believe the solution would be the latter suggestion you made, only the divine can wipe them out.

I think that God or Allah what ever name people use must be very disappointed with the way people use his name to do bad things.

Previously it was Taliban, now it is ISIS, but its not easy to destroy them. Even if they are destroyed, some new will come up in the same name of religion of peace. Their only activity is to kill people, first in the name of religion, and then in the names of firkas, and then to kill each other.
