Yes, there is a wrong way to deal with ISIS. Let's get on
with this morbid discussion which I am sure some people are advocating for.
Genocide fought with genocide: Fact is, there are people calling
for total destruction. I mean annihilating entire cities of people.
Well, it may have merit in areas where ISIS has total control and has
wiped out all dissidents, it does not work in every place. So this is a
bad idea as we end up as the murderers as well. So Genocide (or
indiscriminate killing) is not the answer.
Dragging others into the fight: ISIS is a single group, so other
groups should not be dragged in that have nothing to do with ISIS. This
also means not blaming other Muslims for what ISIS has done. ISIS ceased
being Muslim the moment they started committing atrocities, and as such they are
nothing but murderers. So we must always remember to not blame the Muslim
community as a whole. This also means sticking to the target (ISIS) and
not expanding the conflict further.
Conclusion: I kept it short and to the point
for a reason. So that we do not begin to resemble the scum that is ISIS
and similar groups. They believe the ends justify the means, but we must
maintain a moral high ground of sorts so that we do not become our enemy. We
are fighting quite possibly a multi-generational war and as such, we must
always be ourselves. We must always stand on the side of justice.
