A little harsh, no?
"Mother-of-three Lorna Moore was jailed for two and a half years after failing to tell the authorities her husband was about to join the militant group."
Also:
"[...] where you have got people who have knowledge of travel and the intent when they get there who have not come forward, [...] that's committing a crime."
Do people here agree with what's happened? (Please mark up any edgy opinions in red.)
She was a convert and wanted to join ISIS with her husband. She didn't just not tell authorities what was going on. She lied to them, he tried to convince authorities that he didn't go to Syria to be a terrorist when that is exactly what he did. She was planning on taking her three children with her to Syria to commit acts of terror. Another woman was going to go too. These were people who were actively planning on becoming terrorists with their husbands. They were going to take their kids so they could be trained to be child soldiers. They deserve more time.

You need to help stop ISIS. If they get stronger they will only get worse.

We can't fix it. The Iraqis and Syrians are going to have to work this out themselves. If we pick sides and start bombing people it's just going to make it worse.
There is one thing that might work though. If I were president I'd order carpet bombing. But instead of explosives, the bombs would drop weed, mountain dew, cheetos, Playstations, iPhones, porn, and anime. Items that can't be used as weapons and will make the mujahedeen comfy and complacent. Basically make them into NEETs.
Any kind of American involvement feeds straight into ISIS' message and makes them stronger.

America and Europe can help to fix it. The bombings and intelligence gathering hurt ISIS. The support for the local militias and militaries hurt ISIS too. Morally, I think it's the right move, considering that ISIS is going around slaughtering people. Rather clear-cut bad guys.
ISIS are a direct threat to America too, and backing out won't stop them from being insane, militant xenophobes. So even if you want to put aside any humanitarian reasons for fighting them, it's in America's interest to try and stop them.

kek, not quite. I've read that Iranian forces are very keen to promote the idea that the US is banking ISIS, which makes Iranian forces more enthusiastic to fight them.

Hell no. Trump is going to end up being a dictator and nobody wants that. I want Bernie Sanders to win. Although I am not a socialist I feel his policies on big business and assistance to the impoverished class lines up with my feelings.
