My atheist bro says: "Wow, I guess it won't do anything about ISIS, but it might end the problem of Westboro Baptist."
Bad as WB is, I don't think they will accomplish anything by this latest stunt, other than some kind of willful martyrdom. Maybe thats the only place left for them to go after all the nonsense they have started.

omg. Tell them to stop off in London as we seem to have exported hundreds if not thousands of British jihadists to Syria and Iraq - (Teresa May our home sec can sort them all out in one fell swoop)

What are the American Muslims doing to respond to ISIS, when all Hell was busting lose they did nothing! Iran earlier this year sent troops to help the Kurds and now is adding more forces as we speak. The United States has been having secret meetings with Iran and Syria's leader to destroy ISIS! Interesting how the groups that backed ISIS would be the next targets on ISIS and ISILs list, they stabbed Syria's President in the back by killing 200 troops of their friends!
Iran had previously sent 100,000 members of the Elite Guard inside Kurdish controled regions, US and UK Muslims are sitting on their asses while ten different variations of Muslims are getting slaughtered. Now Syria has figured out they can regain some ground by killing off the group that betrayed them and look good to the West. Senator Paul Ryan warned the US they would be putting weapons in the hands of a group worse than Al caida, now we are watching history as Iran joins the fight to exterminate ISIS. The Islamic World is unifying to destroy the abomination of Islam!
What has the Watchtower done? They are the first to cry out to the United Nations and OSCE when they feel persecuted, at leat the Westborro Bow wows are doing something.

bucketshopbill, UK muslim leaders are blaming gov funding cuts which under the Labour government would have emphasized amd implemented Britishness and British Solidarity amongst young muslims facing identity crises and seeking thrills/a cause to die for but becoming killing machines instead. I'm not convinced by this argument but I do think muslim leaders need to be more vocal about what it means to be a British muslim. But first this Government needs to provide a strong outline and leadership on what Britshness includes.

Hi Ruby, I think the Greatness of the United Kingdom is going to be challenged by people who refuse to assimiliate in to the greatest melting pot in the World. I saw people in the Western Countries applaud the death of the journalist, all of them were Muslims living in Western Countries.
It's time we stop tolerating religions that teach hatred and kill, it's time to rid the world of men like ISIS and ISIL. When you have men getting paid Public Welfare to plot schemes to destroy the West I think it's time to re-evaluate how countries let people in. This religion has always left a path of destruction, the great claims of enlightenment were only accomplished when the strong military kept the religious nuts in check. I fear for the UK, they have no loyalty, willing to jump ship if a better offer comes their way.

Bets are being taken: Westboro will find some logistical reason for backing out.
Those cowards hide behind the laws of this land. Nothing to hide behind over there. They won't go.

It's an interesting point. If the Westboro loonies - or any other 'true believers' - really believed what they preached then of course they would go and take on muslim heretics head-on. The god in which they believe would protect them and prevail. So why aren't all the 'true believers' (the first white southern baptists etc., snake handlers, etc.) joining them?
Back to the Crusades, anybody?
Just goes to show, I suppose.
