What if we turn a blind eye to what they keep feeding us via social media, will it change?... I understand social media is most viral but if we happen to ignore their antics and fanaticism, what will happen?...just thinking out loud!
Gulf News story: Counter-terrorism centre launched in Abu Dhabi "Abu Dhabi: A new counter-terrorism centre was launched in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday to fight Daesh’s (the so-called Islamic State militant group) online propaganda and recruitment." "Co-founded by the UAE and the United States, the Sawab Centre will work with governments in the region and around the world, including from the 63-country coalition that is confronting Daesh." http://gulfnews.com/news/uae/government/counter-terrorism-centre-launched-in-abu-dhabi-1.1547418 A second article is here. http://www.thenational.ae/world/mid...orism-centre-to-battle-isils-online-lies#full Some may question how successful this effort might be, but at least it is a first step in the right direction. I haven't found a URL yet, but a Twitter account -- @sawabcenter -- is active. YouTube videos are posted. Hopefully, with the facility sited in the UAE, it won't fall into USA Congressional partisan politics and the rudderless administration. Let's hope.

There is a great line in the Douglass Adams book Hitchhikers Guide to the ******... There was a hugewar, where thousands of planets were attacked by a single planet....someone first learning of this said ´how could one planet almost defeat the entire universe´.. and the reply was ´they wanted it, we didn´t... they were passionate, we weren´t ´ It is funny to watch the social media war with ISIS because it reminds me of that.
