Terrorism = Islam? Sadly Seems So

So, Lusatian, what is your purpose with this thread? That we "acknowledge" the threat of Islam? That we condemn Islam for being such a "violent religion"? That we should chase away our Muslim neighbors (you never know whether they are terrorist too)? Or do you just want to make the point most terrorists are Muslims, without going any further (while you are raising suspicion Muslims, Arabs, Islam, whatever you may call it, represent a threat to us).

I think it is that we should become pissed off....


LOOK HAPPY! SMILE!!! It confuses him....

Sorry - don't know what came over me there....

BROEHAHAHAHA (very big laugh)

LOL!

For all the huffing and puffing that he (she?) has done, Lusatian has mounted nothing more than a recycling of vituperation that has been in vogue as of late. What a pity.

Further... great pic, dlowan.

Rick, the purpose of the thread is simple. To me it is humorous entertainment. Doubly so, as not only do I find the subject matter funny, but the reactions of all of the present pundits argumentative denials is close to hysterical.

To the average person if I said "Would you say that up to 95% of the terrorists affecting us today are Islamic?" the answer would be easy and affirmative. The DHS (Homeland Security) profiles for terrorists to be on the lookout for is nearly entirely comprised of Islamic perpetrators (whether they be Caucasian or otherwise). Military force protection guidelines are aimed at preventing terrorist attacks with their profiles and groups of concern just about exclusively Islamic. (Yes, yes, there is the off chance that an American terror group may find the balls and the intelligence to attack us. But, such is an off chance indeed). Where do you think the efforts of the FBI's new and revamped intelligence division at targeted at in the realm of counterterrorism?

And this is what is so funny. The ranters present take offense to anyone disparaging another culture (even in the facetious), because this contravenes their delicate sensitivities of the nuances of Political Correctness (own up to PC guys). They think that they are "enlightened" just because they can manage to sound neutral even when the every day evidence suggests the contrary. (How many times has the national alert level been raised due to threats from the Irish? Aum? Spanish Inquisition? Anyone?)

Robert Frost said it best, though he used the term "liberal" which may or may not be valid. He said:

A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.

Maybe you should acknowledge the threat of Islam? (We don't worry that Hindu schools are breeding grounds for terrorists. Do we?) Comdemn Islam for being a "violent religion" - no, but admitting that many of its adherents have greater tendencies to violence against us (Western culture) would be a profoundly good start. Who knows, it may make a lot of sense admitting something that makes a lot of sense?

You all crack me up.

"We don't worry that Hindu schools are breeding grounds for terrorists. Do we?" "...but admitting that many of its adherents have greater tendencies to violence against us".

No one argues against that. It's essentially a dead point to raise, honestly.



Against Western Culture? Hardly. The terrorists pathology is nativist and not Islamic, if you will. Some of the most anti-Israeli Palestinians I know (who also concur with suicide bombers) deeply admire Western culture and are some of the most zealous drinkers, even more so than my father. Their pathology is not Islam but a pan-Arabism, andTerrorism is their niche, victimology is their rhetoric.

Lusatian's last post is nothing short of an admission that the purpose of this thread is merely to troll.

No, they take issue because they suspect there is ill at the bottom of the slippery slope.

And they are correct to suspect this.

Again:

Do you deny that you advocate genocide of Arabs?

For example, do you have a problem with genocide of the Palestinians?

It's precisely that mentality that they object to and it's dishonest to do what you are doing because you are one of those rare cases in which the fear is the reality.

The rhetoric is not merely reminiscent of a position that advocates genocide. It is part of a position that advocates genocide.

So before you mock people for being "politically correct" play your hand. Tell them that you advocate genocide on the basis of these observatuions you make.

See, you don't because then it would not be as easy to act the troll and try to make light of people's objections to your position.

Again:

Do you deny that you advocate genocide of Arabs?

For example, do you have a problem with genocide of the Palestinians?

Answer those questions then try to make light of the "PC" objection that people have to your genocidal fantasies.

Terror as "balls and intelligence"? Hmmmmmm....

We are all held hostage to the cruel and unusual visages that Craven sees fit to beam at us. One picture at a time is good enuff for most of A2K, but not for the Craven!

Monger (I think) used to do it to, but CdK stuffed his 'image-making-hamster' in a blender with horrific results.
