U.S. Catholic League Reveals Why ISIS Must Be Destroyed | Cato Institute

U.S. Catholic League Reveals Why ISIS Must Be Destroyed | Cato Institute: "Donohue explains further: “ISIS, following Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot, wants to eradicate the collective memory of the people, which is why it goes beyond killing men, women and children: by destroying ancient works of art, and turning over graves, the totalitarians seek to erase the past, thus paving the way for the future.”"



“Totalitarians assault art and religion precisely because they bind people to their roots, thus creating an obstacle to the new social order. ISIS barbarians want to do more than kill Christian Assyrians, and those who are not just like them — they want to kill everything that ties the present to the past.”



"What ISIS has accomplished, for me, is to finally end my long-term, waning interest in Martin Luther King’s nonviolent direct action to restore individual liberties.



I continue to greatly admire Dr. King, but nonviolent action cannot cope with the unabated ferocity of ISIS."
