I come from a region where getting stoned means something else! Iraqi born writer & founder of the Global Secular Humanist Movement & Secular Post.

I think Bernie Sanders plan to get “Muslim countries” to defeat ISIS is wonderful …………………… in theory.

The world is much more complicated in that.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are not going to fight against because the seem them as a tool to stop Iranian and/or Shia expansionism.

They also know very well that them waging a full scale war against ISIS would mean they would have to fight what they are teaching at their schools everyday.
and it would also mean a domestic war in their own countries that they are not willing to take.

they are part of the problem.

As for other “Muslim countries”, they either don’t care or are not willing to go to war against “other Muslims” despite what they say that ISIS not being “True’ Islam.

Also they have been talking about wiping out Israel for the past 50 years and have done nothing about that, how do you want them to defeat ISIS.

I like U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, I think he has a good heart, I just think he is too idealistic and not very much familiar with how ugly the world is in that part of the world.
