Syria Ceasefire Will Not Defeat ISIS Nor Its Ideology.

By Ted Belman

Rachel Ehrenfeld, ACD, writes, the ceasefire “will not end the war in Syria, destroy ISIS or the al Nusra Front, or stop Iran’s and Russia’s intervention.” But more important:

And no matter how successful are the coalition forces against ISIS and al Nusra, when the jihadist ideology that motivates them is left unchallenged. Organizations come and go, but as long as radical Islamist ideology demanding submission to Sharia and the oxymoronic term “Political Islam” is accepted in the West, and groups dedicated to propagating Islam, often violently, are given preferential treatment and allowed to operate freely, jihadism will continue unabated and the lure ISIS and its ilk will continue to grow.

This is a fundamental truth the west must come to grips with. It must confront and destroy the ideology. This ideology and the Islamists who propagate it, must be identified as the enemy and destroyed.
