So we talking about Brussels?

[Pharaohs Army]

Here's some thoughts
My heart sinks whenever I see a "scroll" on the bottom of a TV news screen ticker, that says "this many killed/this many wounded... today in Iraq, or today in Pakistan". Or Yemen. Or other African countries.
Yeah- which aren't covered much at all on US Television news (if you dig u can probly find some decent internet "print reporting" tho)

Shit, Boko Horam around a month ago sent female suicide bombers INTO A REFUGEE CAMP full of women and children, then male fighters came through and burned the people and housing structures that weren't exploded.

I hate Bush foreign policy too, but when will you people wake up to the fact that Western Foreign policy is not the big factor here?

There is a civil war between Sunnis and Shiites; that's why they blow up Mosques full of other Muslims.
That's why Saudis and Iranians are fighting a geopolitical proxy war (to go along with the religious underpinnings)...

?Did terrorists blow up hundreds of innocents in a park in Pakistan during Easter celebrations Because of American Foreign Policy?
Give me a fucking break

The teachings of their holy book (written by the creator of the universe) states that non-muslims are infidels to be killed, converted, or subjugated.

Islam says that governance and "the state" are to be one and the same/intertwined with Holy Law--
The antithesis of secular separation of church&state

It's really not that complicated. (the why)
The hard part is finding solutions, since reformers and apostates are usually threatened, silenced, or killed.
Also, far too much "turn a blind eye", or tacit support, from the very religious... even if they themselves do not engage in violence.

Many times when there is a "democratic election", the population Votes in Sharia Law governments.. essentially: "as a democracy we declare that we'd like to have a theocracy, thx."

then, with ISIS, we have the scripture on steroids

I find it sad that Paris & Brussels have been recent targets
Pretty dang tolerant and free places (relative to most in the world)
Talk about being "ungrateful"

I mean if terrorists are "hitting" the US or Israel, they can at least spout their secular grievances, but for god sakes France&Belgium??
Sure, there' probably a right wing faction with islamophobia, which could make life difficult...
WONDER WHY?, LOL

I am left of center but find it absolutely disgusting that our President (and many-a-liberal) does not call a spade a spade.

ISIS has "Hijacked" Islam? "Warped" the faith?
Na. As Destroyer alluded to, they're just following the Hadith and the violent parts of the Qran very very closely. They are the most faithful.

The slaughter is just so pointless
This is what you get when the largest religion in the world is not only a death cult, but a death cult that wishes to expand& force upon others.

The things religious people believe en mass.. clinically insane beliefs in any other (non-"faith") context.

but an "extremist" Jane just gets more&more peaceful, so the "kind of beliefs" matter.. to paraphrase Harris
