The sudden, dramatic rise of the Islamic State terrorist group taking over large swaths of land in Iraq and Syria has prompted much discussion, consternation and fear around the world. It has also prompted scorn and derision, both of the Obama administration’s seeming indecision on what to do until the Islamic State came within shouting distance of Baghdad, and even of the terror group itself by not only Western commentators, but Muslims in the Middle East. Georgia Southern University hosted a panel discussion Thursday evening on the Islamic militant group with four professors led by Dr. Jacek Lubecki, the director of the university’s Center for International Studies and an associate professor of political science.
