The Kurds are not extremists, they're defending their land against an invading force.
By your measure, the Polish and French that escaped the Nazis and then fought alongside the allies to free their countries are extremists.
It's very easy to choose sides in this particular arena. Isis v everyone else. There's no blurred lines.
I commend anyone that goes over to fight Isis, I wouldn't personally, but I'm not a soldier.
Isis need to be destroyed. A ground war is the only way it will end. It's only a matter of time and the more the rest of the world sits on its hands the harder it will be.
