The problem is the idea & propaganda is already out there & the US primary concern is to have that cheap privatized oil flowing when they need to start with sanctions, threaten them war, all that tough rhetoric they save for Russia & use it on our Arabian Peninsula allies. However, how to erase a century of Wahabbi propaganda & all the indoctrination, especially when they heavily target children. All the schools are replaced with their brand of religious schools.
90%+ of what ISIS says is propaganda BS & better at marketing than their predecessors, however a decade of war, oppression, & terror has given them stuff they can use. Own of the shadows the allied with ISIS used a horrific crime over & over for recruiting.
In 2010, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released the first issue of Inspire , their English language recruitment magazine. To date, AQAP has released 10 issues of Inspire, and the plight of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay has been featured prominently in several issues.
In the 2010 inaugural issue of Inspire, an essay by Osama bin Laden mentions "the crimes at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo . . . which shook the conscience of humanity." Tellingly, bin Laden points out that "there has been no mentionable change" at Guantanamo and the prison is noted again later in the issue.
Gitmo features even more prominently in Issue 2 of Inspire. The essays of Abu Sufyan al-Azdi and Uthman al-Gamidi, two former detainees who returned to AQAP upon their release, call new individuals to join the jihad, whether at home or abroad. In Issue 7, Yahya Ibrahim notes that Guantanamo Bay "exposed the West for what it really is" and "showed the world the American understanding of human rights."
Most troubling, in the latest issue of Inspire released early this month, AQAP mentions Guantanamo Bay several times. In a prelude to the attention that the hunger strikers have been paid lately, Abu Musab al-Suri notes that Guantanamo is not only "filled with . . . mujahedeen" but also with "hundreds of innocent civilians." While it is quite rich to hear AQAP's concern for the plight of innocent civilians, given the high number of Yemenis cleared for release still at Guantanamo, this is a very salient message for AQAP's base in Yemen.

A legitimate concern of the human rights everyone all-around is the only way I see to start reversing the disease, not only for when it is convienent but we also have to be the example. KRG has really done of a good job, they have opened refuge camps to other sects and also helped the highest elected Sunni official escape a political prosecution (who got the death sentence is a trial that took place without him) and have kept themselves out of the human rights violations or not into the mindless slaughter, oppression, hate that appears to be ruling all the various factions including the two countries' governments.
House of Saud -- they have a lot of blood on their hands. The US wasn't even involved in the region (and had a favorable perception compared to Britain & France, colonizers) when they started the propaganda BS and a trail of beheadings.
