If you knew the history, you'd know they had no other choice.
Besides comparing these terrorist to a nation state is naive. They do not have the means to invade us....much like a much much stronger Japan did not. Your chances of dying are greater by lightning than terrorist. ...do you want to attack thunderstorms? You have an unrational fear of Muslims attacking this country. wtf can I say other than that

Isis has better organization, better funding and has better support mechanisms in place than Al - Qaeda ever hoped for. They have a stronger determination to break our will.
They fucking believe their leader is a direct descendant from Mohammed.
In just a few months they have gone from being a thorn in the side with no home to an organization controlling large areas of land that Chuck Hagel is calling " as sophisticated and well-funded as any group that we have seen," Hagel said. "They're beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded. Oh, this is beyond anything that we've seen. So we must prepare for everything."
With the kind of funding they have weapons of mass destruction and the capability to deliver them are not out of their reach and they have the motivation to do it.
