    ISIS is losing big time now and that's why we're seeing more attacks. Honestly, it feels like a helpless situation.

    I bet people in Syria do not think too highly of democracy now.

    You are making some very vague assertions that have some serious implications. You need quotes. I've never seen Obama defend terrorism. If he did, he should be overthrown. You need to provide a quote of such a drastic assertion.

    Would love to hear your reasons for terrorism and solutions. You seem to have figured it all out.

    Dude you aren't helping... while I am sure you are a nice enough fella, no one really wants to be aligned with your bizarre and dangerous political beliefs.

    Just retreat back to shadows, smile at authority figures and hope no one with any real significant power knows about your odd early 20th century anarchist political beliefs...Sacco and Vanzetti are dead.... Go back to your cubicle.

    Y'all ain't trippin about creating a civil war in Iraq? Muslim on Muslim war that killed million plus. Poor widows and orphans. All for oil and greed.

    ISIS is the #1 enemy for everyone including Muslims. Muslims in Africa would say the same thing about Boko Haram.

    What about these people? What religion did they supposedly practice?

    Their demands were't much to begin with.it consisted of a slogan of
    .." Stop killing us"...

    :rolleyes:

    It just sounds so simple doesn't it? Just be strong, firm and cruel. Okay to bloody ****ing who exactly? This isn't WWII where it all goes away once one man is eliminated. Or we know exactly who and where are enemy is and we just line up our forces invade and kick ass. There isn't going to be some surrender and war crimes trials.

    Learn from Nam and all of the terrorist incidents both domestic and abroad. You cannot defeat guerrilla or terrorist warfare. There will always be some likely mentally ill, easily impressionable, maggot that can be coerced into a suicide bombing or just does it of his own volition.

    To combat this threat you are going to need something more than just force of arms.

    Sadly the worse is likely still coming. You just know there is going to be some horrible Sum of All Fears type lone wolf attack in the US. Something way way worse than 9/11. God help us but it feels inevitable.:(

    If you do a poll in Syria and ask people would they have done all the protests again if they could go back in time, what do you think the result will be? I bet the over whelming number of people would have choose to just go on with their lives instead of demand change. It is easy to think of Democracy and remove dictators, but the price is often too high for people involved.

    You can tell who the individuals are that would panic in a high stress environment and the ones who would stay calm and rational by who posts vague assertions about being 'strong and bombing every Islamic region' and the ones who are willing to partake in a nuanced discussion of what is actually going on.

    In reality, that is actually probably going to HINDER the fight against lone wolf attacks because shaking your finger at the general Muslim population is going to sway some Muslims into not reporting suspicious behavior at mosques. Yes, I know... Those Muslims should report suspicious behavior regardless if the president ****s on their religion,. I'm just making a claim of what will happen, not what ought to happen.

    The violence has to end.

    France needs stronger truck laws. No one needs an extra tank of diesel to get to work, just beyond stupid.

    uhhh no. You are going in the complete opposite direction. Islam needs to police their own. You will not find a mainstream modern Christian who would passively let another Christian advocate or actuate a death of another person or group. Condemn to hell? Maybe. But to extinguish large groups of people and celebrate or say they deserve it, no. (And please spare me the quotes of extreme fringe groups like Westboro Baptist)

    That is the fault of Islam as a whole (on a global aspect). They are simply too passive. They continue to practice a culture that does not promote equality across the board. It is an extremely intolerant religion. Make no mistake, Christianity was once very similar....and it was wrong.

    How do you get Muslims to police their own? Certainly not by ostracizing and profiling them right?

    Clearly high capacity gas tanks need to be banned.
