A new theory of ISIS

What is this ISIS thing all about?

Well, I think the idea came from Mel Brooks and Blazing Saddles. Looting raping, pillaging and murder. And under the banner of religion. That's sure to act as a magnet for the dregs of the Islamic world. And indeed it has. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi? That's right, Heddy (that's HEDLEY!) Lamarr.

And Sheriff Bart finally seems to have tumbled to the situation. Go ahead, "wipe 'em out!"

That's the view from South Andrews Avenue.

Only it was the Christians that were also doing the massacring. The cast of characters have changed many times during our history but the rules are still the same. Kill all those that do not accept the the ideology of the aggressors and in a decade or century or so later, another aggressor would wreak havoc in promoting their beliefs.
