Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi killed a 100,000 Muslims like ISIS to clean up the garbage of Islam in Egypt and then Allah gave him 3 consecutive victories over the Crusaders. ISIS is the garbage of Islam if they are destroying holy places. They will be cleaned up as well.
Well said, just like in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven". When a muslim cavalier pleaded with Salahuddin to attack the Army of Jerusalem and questioned why the Sultan retreated, Salahuddin said, "How many battles has Allah won for the muslims? That is to say, when Allah determined...when I should come for the muslims..."
One of the reasons that China has a policy of "non-intervention" (apart from our lack of power projection), because when it comes to interventions, every choice seems to be the wrong one, and everyone ends up hating you anyway.
That was a very wise and profound decision for China, in my honest opinion. In cases where there are religious sensitivities, it is best to not intervene, until there is some kind of International Mandate of some sort.
I hope that Japan will follow in the same step as China to remain non-interventionalist. Only to defend in cases of attack. There has been massive toll in life and expenses in military for the United States' involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And to think about it, what did it do? Did it stabilize the region? I say...nay...
