A 2200 years old city lost forever.

As I had observed in an earlier, related thread, fundamentalists of any stripe usually want to erase any trace of religion prior to the existence of their "true faith." Today, ISIS destroys the remains of the Pre-Islamic ancient world, in the same way that Charlemagne's grandson, as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, had destroyed all the Pre-Christian songs and legends of their Rhineland Frankish ancestors that Charlemagne had had recorded for posterity.

Hyperborean makes an excellent point. There really is no way to irradiate the problem; only one group at a time.

This is perfectly fine with the Military-Industrial complex, of course, since a perpetual state of war is profitable.

I think the military industrial complex, with its constant war based solutions in search of problems, is the reason our Armed Forces are not in a position where they can fight ISIS properly and why Americans as a whole would not have the patience for a proper war on ISIS even though it is blatantly obvious that this is the only way to address them that has any hope of being effective.

And it is revolting to think that a disease eradicating Muslims is the only solution. But yes, it is true that with a terror nation like ISIS, it is impossible to fight a war that would ensure they are not a threat without having non combatant civilians killed in the process. The vast majority of us as Americans clearly do not want this, but these Islamic terror groups and states really do place us in a position where it is either their civilians or our civilians and then our biological need to protect our family is inevitably going to take over, indeed it has to.

A disease that effective in killing "Muslims" (as if Muslims is one ethnicity) will probably mutate to kill the rest of of the humans; you big idiot.

Plus, it has to be remembered, there are Muslim Americans. They can't be counted as America's enemies. Not to mention how the people who are actually putting their lives on the line fighting ISIS are also Muslims.

It will also wipe out 50% of Jews in Israel as well (I am not even talking about the Palestinians and Bedouins here), I don't think a specific ethnic-killer virus will be able to differentiate much between Levantine Arabs and Sephardic Jews.

Highly doubtful that it could.

I don't think emax10000 was the one who came up with the anti-Muslim disease. It was something said earlier in the thread, and emax1000 specifically said he found it revolting. And of course it is not going to happen since humans are sort of inbred, there is not that much genetic variation.

Ah I see, the real big idiot was ruveyn, the Zionist WP member.

He doesn't realize that such a virus would wipe half the population of his beloved country. I doubt any virus would be able differentiate between Levantine Arabs and Sephardi Jews, no matter how well engineered.

Also, viruses and bacteria mutate unpredictably.

I think he is referring to the hoax story of a few years ago, I remember it was in the news that Israel was researching or developing a bio-weapon that targeted Arabs, but it was all nonsense. In a way it is just a different version of "build a wall around the Middle-east and let them kill each other" or "just nuke the whole Middle-east".
I found this on wikipedia, it mentions the hoax about the Israeli bio-weapon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_bioweapon

Years ago, 60 Minutes had run a story on what they termed Britain's "Loony Left," in which they talked to one black British left winger who insisted that the United States had a bomb that only killed black people.

Yeah, Britain has quite a bit of the Looney Left, and a whole lot of Looney Right now as well. Of course the ultimate goal of weapons should be to target individuals and not harm everyone else, like in another thread on here about making a drone with a rifle on it that could shoot individuals instead of blowing up the whole street.
