Closed Military Action against Islamic extremism in Iraq

Closed on

Islamic extremism in Iraq has reached extreme levels with the new Islamic State (IS)/Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS)) threatening to destroy all minorities, butchering innocent civilians and expanding their extremist ideologies throughout the Middle East.

This threat must be neutralised immediately before it potentially threatens British and western interests and must be defeated before more innocent Iraqi and other middle Eastern civilians are kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered.

We call upon the government to take immediate military action such as air strikes, against IS/ISIL/ISIS to protect minorities, the innocent and western interests. In particular the immediate protection for those trapped on the Sinjar Mountains.

Britain must not turn a blind idea to this crisis.
