    I just don't take explicit threats of violence over the interent jokingly. I'll report it but won't bring it up anymore on the message board I would hope Clutch would ban someone as dispicple as HoneyBear but I'll stop posting about the matter and ignore HoneyBear.

    Islam isn't a skin color. its a belief system. But its good to know in the land of the free that people like you are ready to 'stomp' on whoever speaks out against a belief system. Very telling.

    This country has defeated assholes like you who try use violence to control speech. we can do it again.

    I understand why you got salty, don't blame you at all. I've been trying to do better myself at just ignoring posters that infuriate or anger me, it's pretty great for my constitution.

    I feel extremely sorry for France as a country and its people.

    I have been there several times and it used to be a great country with very nice people (still are).

    You see that the dude initially made a terrorist threat on here? Saying a group should be eradicated based on race/religion and telling them they should sleep in fear of being murdered is an open terrorist threat. How can you be tolerant of this?

    He's not just talking about terrorists. He's talking about innocent Muslim men, women, children, seniors, tourists, refugees, everyone sleeping in fear of being murdered while someone comes for them for some reason.

    I have American family and friends, and my brother and his family are visiting family right now. This **** is serious, especially right now that we have seen every type of extremist commit attacks. I'm reporting it right now.

    This is the reality of the world we live in now as free people. There is a new violent news story on the news everyday now it seems like. You can die anywhere from terrorism if it's your day to go. And, the more you are around a lot of people...the better your chances.

    I don't know what you expect to happen if a head of state says "Islam is bad". What then? What do we do now? You make the solution sound so easy.

    You tell me.

    are you suggesting nothing can be done about Isalmic terrorism? there is no solution? how do you feel about this one:

    We carpet bomb ISlamic countries with Western propaganda (figuratively). Comedians mocking politicians, independent women crushing men in life, maybe even tons of p*rn. We give them give citizens free dvd players and tvs too and whatever else needed to watch it.

    I give it a 30% chance of helping. Its cheap (compared to war). No soldiers. non violent

    When I read that, it sounded like a weird, general threat against Muslims. But on second reading, its not really that. He's saying that there are a lot of Muslim "terrorists" silently biding time in the mist of the "moderates", and these terrorists will be "smoked out". You may still find his belief that many apparently moderate Muslims are in fact terrorists or terrorist sympathizers offensive, but it's not a threat against Muslims in general.

    If it convinces the majority of people to....say....not allow millions and millions of muslim refugees from war ravaged countries into the country, it probably is doing some good.

    The only thing that'll do any good is have people quit denying that it's a problem and work up the fortitude to go do something about it.

    I'm not expecting that to happen after the US proved that they didn't have what it takes to support real change when they abandoned Iraq prematurely which led to all of this. If the US had a permanent base in Iraq with something like 40k or 50k troops stationed there then ISIS would have never become what it did and the US would have a stable foothold in the region from which to launch attacks in order to put them down.

    Instead we had a bad president decide to run away and another bad president liked the idea so much he campaigned on it and took credit for it.....till it wound up being a bad idea.

    Since the US doesn't have the will do do what needs to be done, we'd probably be better off just ignoring it and putting up with terrorist attacks like this every month or so.
