    Agreed, just saying that is the way it is headed for the middle east currently.

    History repeating itself.

    What country did we conquer and return their land?

    By the way, history is full of countries that conquered other lands and returned them. That is pretty much every colonial power.



    You mean like Iraq wasn't pretty? Or are you talking about nuclear war?

    I can't see how a modern western civilization could do something very ugly to another country within the modern confines of communication. Even what the U.S. did in Panama would not be able to happen today.

    In this thread I feel as if I have traveled in a time machine to mid-1930's America.

    Good reference.

    This is what self-appointed pacifist Marxists like the intern are demanding from the USA right now, as well as people like Mathloom.

    We have seen in the past what this kind of hands off pseudo-peace-oriented approach can lead to.

    And we have seen what your kind of fear mongering rhetoric has done in the past 75 years ago.

    Why not have both imperialism and combat terrorism?

    There are lots of parallels between Nazism and extremist Islam.

    Just like it was necessary to fight the Nazis 75 years ago, it is now necessary to fight the new face of fascism - political Islam.

    There are far more differences that can be named than parallels. Having a few parallels means very little, considering that parallels can also be drawn between Islamophobic rhetoric and Nazi ideology spewed during the 1930's.

    I would say political Islam is worse than the bigoted push back from political Islam. Political Islam results in atheists, homosexuals, apostates, adulterers etc being executed. How can yo equate the two?

    • Both are supremacist ideologies
    • Both ideologies are built on hating Jews
    • People are and were getting murdered based on an ideological justification from both Nazism and Islamism
    • Leaving Nazism and leaving Islam can both earn you the death penalty
    • Both ideologies persecute gays
    • Both ideologies regard people who are not part of their following as inferior people with lesser rights
    • Both ideologies see the woman's role primarily as a breeder, with lesser rights
    • Both ideologies have visibly distinct clothing/looks to separate themselves from those who are not part of their following
    • Followers of both ideologies employ unthinkably brutal violence to try and enforce their nightmarish dreams of some kind of world domination
    • Both ideologies use street violence in Europe as a form of intimidation
    • Both ideologies aimed at indoctrinating children from the earliest age (e.g. Palestinian children being taught to hate Jews)
    • Both ideologies, Islam and Nazism, have managed to manipulate free societies into appeasement politics towards them, making them avoid any kind of possible offense to real or pretended sensitivities
    • Both rely heavily on propaganda, e.g. Goebbels, ISIS and all the Saudi-funded extremist propaganda going on in mosques around the world

    Qaradawi Says Hitler Was Divine Punishment For Jews

    Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi, the most important leader of the global Muslim Brotherhood, has made probably his most virulent anti-Semitic statements to date in speeches aired on aired on Al-Jazeera TV on January 28 and 30, 2009. According to a MEMRI translation, Qaradawi said:


    As much as you would like to portray Islamists as victims (and that is part of the Islamist propaganda), the reality is that they are the ones blowing up innocent people in European cities and airports. They are the ones subjugating women, threatening those who want to leave their cult with death, beheading innocent people in Syria and Iraq, kidnapping young girls in Nigeria, in Syria, in Iraq, and making them sex slaves, blowing up people in Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Afghanistan, slaughtering bloggers in Bangladesh, and so on and so on and so on.

    No, no...your cute little "Islamophobia" deception does not work anymore. Your guys are the perpetrators, not the victims.

    Any Theocracy will result in those things. The need for secular gov't is clear - it's what was needed to help the west escape the grip of the Church and enabled modern society. And the Islamic world needs it too.

    The Arab Spring was a step backwards in that regards as secularism was not embraced as a guiding principle in the new constitutions.

    What I have yet to hear from you (I have hope for you) is how do we defeat extremism in the Islamic world. I think you can do much better than your buddy ATW there.

    Comparing Islam to Nazism is pretty much proof that this ATW moron is an Islamophobe.

    Political Islam is comparable to Nazism. Muslims aren't comparable to Nazis primarily because of the distinction between a 'opt-in vs opt-out' ideology.

    I give you credit for trying to be creative , not like the other r****d who has three stupid lines reused in each thread


    • Muslims are not calling others :Goyim, Genitals
      they would be building Pyramids and nice things to this day if they were't protected by Muslim for a millennium
      a tiny fraction , though every other group had this phenomena
      Al-Azhar issued many fatwa and clarification regarding these issue, you better inform your self , anyway all religions regards punishment in a term of principle rather than an actual practice ..

      what a goyim lol
      nope ,check the story of Adam &Eve between Christianity &Islam
      Mouses and Jesus separate themselves too if that was the case to which one is more original
      [​IMG]

      million in Africa forced to become Christians ,millions died in this holy process

      this explain what you did mean quit well
      [​IMG]

      if you search this image, you find another creepy story of the Zionists
      they dont need to learn it , they would gain it through their experience

    A TGI Fridays on every other block will work.

    Leaflet campaign is being saved by Cruz for the general election.... I expect the leaflets to inform voters Clinton has dropped out of the election.
