> To paraphrase Dr. Egon, And ISIS wasn’t alone, they had close to 30,000 thousand followers when things were kicking. They conducted rituals in Syria and Iraq. Bizarre rituals, intended to bring the US and The West into a vast war in the region that would bring about the _end of the world_, and now it looks like it might actually happen…

I’m curious, what exactly did they do? A google search doesn’t bring up anything.

Regarding terrorism directed at children I don’t think the Beslan school siege from 2004 has been mentioned, another awful act.
