You're going off on a tangent now, the two eras are not comparable.

IS do not have the resources or the manpower to be anywhere near the same level threat as WW2 Germany. They have no allies and no influence beyond the area they control and there's no chance of them ever being able to launch an offensive attack or invasion on western soil beyond their rudimentary terror attacks. Everything else is grandstanding on their part which is why they take responsibility for every and any terror attack going, it makes them seem more threatening than they actually are.

I imagine that IS will fall quickly once the situation elevates beyond air strikes and into a full blown invasion of Syria.

I disagree, if ISIS are left to expand unchecked, and they will as that is their stated aim, it will be exactly the same as we faced with Germany. How many countries are ISIS allowed to invade before our Poland is reached?

As to resources. ISIS have huge resources, and the more they are allowed to expand, the greater their resources will become. Thats why they expand.

Their stated aim is to take over the world, do people believe its a little joke they are having or a serious threat?

I will use the term bury head in sand again, there seems to be a lot of it going on in this thread.
