Meanwhile global leaders still have no strategy whatsoever on how to tackle this. Unless you call burying their hands in the sand a strategy!

    turn off the internet
    And mobile phone blockers.

    If we're reluctant to fight them physically then do it electronically.

    I'm not sure how they'll fare in Somalia - it's a much more complicated situation there with various warlords vying for power.

    They are not invulnerable though. The Kurds have retaken Ain Issa, 30 miles from the ISIS capital Raqqa. It's changed hands a few times in the last few weeks but the Kurds supported by coalition bombing are still there, blocking a main ISIS supply line. I hope the Mail is reporting that.

    ISIS are not having it all their own way and can be beaten alright, with enough determination on the ground and continuing air strikes.

    If i were male, and were in the army right now, and we were ordered to go in to Syria to attack ISIS, and be in actual fighting on the ground, I'd seriously be crapping......:(

    Not so much the actual fighting and killing, I suppose if one were in the army, you'd have resigned yourself to going to war etc, no, what I'd be frightened about is being captured by one of the ISIS and being slowly tortured, eventually dying.

    I know that in the 2nd WW the spies were given little pills to take if and when they were captured, I think one because to avoid spilling any information and two, so they wouldn't have to go through with any torture, they'd at least have a quick death from the pills.

    So my question is, I wonder if they would do this to the soldiers if and when there were actual combat on the ground?

    Another group has joined them then. I thought IS only wanted their own kind? Ah, okay...I see Islam is very strong in Nigeria.

    If there are any special forces in the region, I imagine they are fully briefed and advised to consider retaining a bullet rather than let themselves be captured alive.

    With a bit of luck the evil bastards will all start destroying each other.

    They should have been stopped long ago, before they were able to commandeer so much heavy duty weaponry.

    And just where do you think they got much of their heavy duty weaponry from?

    The nigerian nutjobs will soon find out they are the wrong type of islamic crazy to be accepted by The arab IS nutjobs

    I hope they all kill each other before they cause too much madness, they would be saving us the trouble of killing them. Fingers crossed.

    We're an island, it can't be that hard to keep them out. If it all goes tits up I say we close the borders and go back to arable farming and everyone making jam out of carrots and painting lines on the back of our legs to look like stockings.

    The internet is a good recruiting ground for all the idiots in the world to come out the woodwork and join them, block any food going in to their towns, I would say

    Boko haram pledged allegiance months ago. I think it was around the time when they murdered 2000 civilians in an attack. I thought that the Nigerian government defeated BH or at least contained them.

    Yes, this is old news. Nigerian army has reclaimed much of the ground previously captured by BH. Pledging allegiance to ISIS is a sign of weakness IMHO, they think they can use it to recruit more support, I'd imagine.
