I mean, their newscasters and opinionators and entertainers are pretty unanimous in bellyaching about the way Muslims don't oppose Daesh and how that means Daesh must be part of the mainstream of Islamic thought and culture. This information should be welcomed and trumpeted by Fox, right?

Right?

Huh; sure is late in the year to hear crickets.

whose heads would literally be rolling first thing.

Ordinary people could, and do, survive in crowds claiming devotion to ISIS's beliefs, turning away as friends and relatives are arrested, abandoning their own beliefs and changing their lives dramatically to conform to ISIS's instructions, giving up most of their worldly possessions and dreams...

Of course they hate ISIS. ISIS isn't their Islam.

...would be like all Christians like the KKK. There's as much diversity of opinion in other countries as there is here.
