$\"world$ <\/a> Thirteen years ago, terrorist zealots killed over 3,000 people on U.S. soil. Today, their spiritual and philosophical heirs are engaging in genocide across large parts of what used to be Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t pretend to know what America\u2019s appropriate response to ISIS should be. We could move troops in and stop it for now; but I\u2019m not at all confident that a similar phenomenon wouldn\u2019t recur shortly after we (inevitably) pulled our troops out again.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard a variety of Muslim religious leaders (including the Grand Mufti of Egypt) condemning ISIS; I\u2019ve been glad to hear that, and I would be much gladder if I were seeing any signs that the surrounding countries were working to put a stop to the killings, and put paid to their errant co-religionists.<\/p>\n

Please join me in a day of prayer for the victims of ISIS.<\/p>\n
