Isis

I don't understand the savagery that Isis commits on anyone they choose.  I picture these monsters as having brains riddled with poison and not being truly human any more.  Beheading is an archaic form of punishment but Isis does it to their prisoners on a regular basis.  It's beyond our understanding.

What happens to a man to make him capable of kidnapping young girls, using some of them as suicide bombers, beheading someone?  Just how deep is this capability in our own souls?  We see acts of savagery everyday in our world...sometimes in our own neighborhood...and wonder what brings a human being to commit such atrocities.  

Isis seems to have attracted like minded individuals who become even more dangerous in the group.  

And then there are the kind and responsible human beings who spend their lives taking care of others or fighting injustices.  It almost makes me think we might be two species because that's easier than thinking we are all the same but just make different choices in our lives.

It worries me to think what lies beneath our surface.
