What King Abdullah of Jordan said is essentially the war against ISIS is a war for the soul of Islam. And it must be Muslim troops on the ground that will destroy ISIS, with the support of a coalition of major powers - U.S., U.K., France, Germany and Russia.
America is not at war with Islam. And it is a mistake and it plays into the hands of the terrorists to act as though we are.
