Over the last year and a half they have lost 30% of the area they once controlled and are losing more each week. They do not have an economy to continue to support their war effort.

However ISIS has a second strategy. ISIS has admitted that their terror attacks on the West are only partly aimed at punishing countries that oppose them. They claim that their strategy is to eliminate what the call "gray zones" societies where Muslims and non-Muslims coexist. The more countries they can turn against Islam the more support they can get from Muslims around the world.

French journalist Nicolas Henin, who was an ISIS hostage, wrote that when Germany opened it doors to Syrian refugees it hurt the jihadi extremist. Their response was to post a video urging refugees to turn around and return to the Islamic State.

So who is ISIS looking to for help in this area? Radical right-wing extremists in Europe, and politicians like Donald Trump from the United States.

Al-queda has already released a recruitment video that uses Trump to prove how the Americans are turning against Muslims. http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/02/middleeast/al-shabaab-video-trump/ Then after the belgium attack ISIS did the same thing http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/donald-trump-isis-recruitment-video. And the right wing conservatives in Europe are as bad or worse than Trump.

The conflict in the Middle east is a total shitstorm. I wish we were not even involved. We have reached the point where we are fighting a hydra. The more violent we are against them the more support they receive. We can't win this battle by nuking the middle east or killing the families of terrorists like Trump suggests. If we are going to remain engaged we will have to form a world-wide coalition and isolate them instead of resorting to genocide. But it seems impossible to form a effective coalition because other members of the coalition are actually at war with each other.

Does that link say Mother Jones?
