Holy shit.
Take out “Islamists” and insert “Jew”-remind you of anything?
There is an inherent contradiction in your position.
If radical Islam is powerful enough to pose an existential threat to the liberal democracies, it’s too powerful to be crushed in a decade.
Of course, radical Islam is not that powerful. It can only threaten terrorism and guerrilla war in weak countries. It doesn’t have the manpower or resources to field an army that can take and hold the territory of even one of the smaller industrial powers. The idea that it poses a serious threat to Russia/China/America is laughable.
The “threat” of radical Islam is merely a useful tool to distract the masses from the environmental and economic exploitation that is the real existential threat to the long-term survival of liberal democracy.
Remember when it was European white cultures representative of Christianity that were migrating around world? Good times…
So “Islam” is inherently uncivilized, is what you’re saying.
Oh, please. Share your horror stories of the last 8 years with us. Tell us of how you have been so cruelly forced to receive fair and affordable health insurance and accept gays and lesbians as human beings.
This should be good.
Hey, now… let’s not start that shit again.
Many Muslims are Muslim in name only kept in the faith due to pressure from both immediate and extended family. This also happens in some Christian cults. I think that when push comes to shove many of those Muslims will leave Islam Plus many Muslims that have a strong faith in Allah but little in Islam. (I have a strong faith in God but not in the church)
Cutting unemployment nearly by half, growing national wealth by nearly a trillion dollars, and having the lowest number of uninsured Americans ever must have been a real drain on you.
I’m sorry for what you have been through.
It may not have been clear in the OP, but no, I do not believe that Trump would be the person who would do what you suggest.
I do believe that Trump would have no problems with mass bombing ISIS for example and taking them out completely, because he has stated numerous times that he will. There will obviously be a few casualties here and there no doubt, but it will be a non-issue and not very significant in the big picture of things.
cool story bro
A few. No doubt. Where, “a few” is counted in the 10s of the thousands.
Er…do you realize that you just said that all Muslims are Islamists?
I do not view the Islamic world as very civilized, no.
And I would not want to live in such a world, and I wouldn’t want my family to live in such a world either.
“Islam” isn’t really comparable to “the church” as a concept. You’re essentially saying “Someone who has a strong faith in God but little in worshipping God”.
Those are acceptable figures in my opinion.
You clearly need to go to Istanbul. It’s a lovely place. You should be so lucky to spend your days drinking raki while watching ships go up and down the Bosphorus.
Ok, so we carpet bomb Raqqa and a few other cities in Iraq / Syria and completely flatten them to rubble. Then what? You killed a bunch of ISIS militants but the rest of them fled before the bombings and are now blended in to remaining cities civilian populations in surrounding areas. Also they’re popping up in Libya now as well.
So after you’ve “figured out whats going on”, carpet bombing a few cities doesn’t work, theres still militants and they’re still attacking the governments of Iraq and Syria. Then what do you do?
Do you know any Muslim people? Are any of your friends or coworkers Muslim? Have you ever had even a brief interpersonal interaction with a Muslim person?
Or are you just basing this “Muslims are uncivilized” idea on some imaginary boogeyman of what you assume Muslims must be like?
Masquerade.
Just out of curiosity, how many dead Muslims would be too many, in your view?
Are you suggesting our new friend Blinky is casting baited lines off the back of a slow moving boat?
