Yep, despite the fact that numerous liberal posters, myself included, challenged him on his points in other threads. Gotta make sure that people grieve appropriately and ideologically or else they're operating with agendas. To the topic at hand: this sucks. To combat this is going to require traditional and heretofore unseen psychological warfare. I honestly don't know how you approach an enemy whose actions are motivated by religious and "spiritual" motivation (along with plundering money and lives).
This also goes to show that the stupid leftist theory that the poor Islamists are just reacting to the West's aggression against them is complete horsecrap. They are trying to expand and establish their poisonous ideology in many places.
They attacked the hotel that was used by U.S. and French operations into Syria. Of course minor details like that aren't important to you if it doesn't fit your false narrative. Not saying that I agree the sole cause is western aggression but it is a big part of it.
Did they do it for Russia? You know, there is one thread with two replies on the 200+ killed terrorist attack.
Yes, pretty stupid. We all remember in the 1950's when Eisenhower was destroying Islamic jihadists networks that were spreading around the world. I mean there have been no flash points for radical Islam, it's just the same as it's always been. They've always hated us for our freedoms and the idea that every action in the world has consequences is just stupid leftist theory.
Newsflash for you: The internet didn't exist in 1950 and conflicts were carried out much more on a regional basis.
Right, Islam is confined to the Middle East. There were no Mooslims in the rest of the world then like there are now. Good point. Nobody knew to be radicalized by Islam until they read the pdf version of the Quran on the internets. Only then, once they read all that crazy violent **** that wasn't in the print versions, did they know they hated America for its freedom.
It's hard for the West to be taken seriously as a bulwark to Islamic extremism when our allies do things like this and the Swedes are the only ones that say or do anything about it.
