Right, so how do we wipe out ISIS without another extremist extremist organization taking its place on the world stage? Even if ISIS ceased to exist the problems and circumstances that has caused extremist organizations like ISIS and AQ to exist in the first place remain.

Courage, my friends; 'tis not too late to build a better world.
Apparently, the Prime Minister is offering "all possible assistance" to France. I suppose it remains to be seen what that means.

edit: Well, François Hollande has promised to be "merciless", so...

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

I just think they should find someone more professional and better at hiding their feelings about the matters they're reporting on. Someone who doesn't have close personal relationships with party functionaries.

Go shove it up your oval office, you miserable rear end in a top hat.

I will say, though: we need to accept more refugees, because they at least understand the bullshit that we have to deal with. They are on the front lines, they've been dying for far longer than the west has had to suffer any consequence of our collective nonsense. We should stand with the citizenry of Syria, Iraq, and the entire Middle East, as we are forced to accept a taste of what they've suffered for years.

And we should bomb Daesh to kingdom loving come. Let's roll.

I'd never hold whatever religion someone has the misfortune of being born into against them, but nah, all religions can feel free to continue their slow deaths in the west and hopefully one day the world.

Slow death, absolutely. I'm not just an atheist, I'm the athiest! But the catholics don't need to be bombed at the moment. In WW2, it might have been a good idea, since they were a bunch of fascist-sympathizing sons of whores who were wont to turn a blind eye to crimes against humanity, from Iberia to Croatia.

I'm just bracing for the dual waves of poo poo. on the one side, people calling Islam a violent death cult out to destroy western civilization/Christianity, whose followers should be deported or left to die.

On the other side, people claiming religion has zero role in this and that ever critizing religion for the lovely things it contains and inspires, or claiming religious zealots are motivated by religion, is bigotry. I'm already seeing it play out all over my facebook.

I sympathize with the latter group because the vast majority of Muslims haven't done anything to deserve the scorn they'll be receiving, but it's annoying that every time something like this happens we need to pretend like religion isn't the source of the attackers' willingness to kill and be killed doing this horrendous thing.

im certain that the islamic state has more to do with twenty plus years of western interests intentionally destabilizing the middle east than it does with religion. the important part of it is that there are people there with different religions than eachother which lead to them hating eachother , not what each of those religions is i think

Very, very true. Muslims are disproportionately the victim of these murderous bastards, and we need to support them as we collectively find the people responsible for this and blow them right to gently caress.

One of these countries is not like the other, one of these countries just doesn't belong! (It's Afghanistan; it was well hosed ever since the US decided to back anti-Soviet forces)

But, yes, I agree we'd be better off if we'd supported Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad, and Mubarak. A secular dictator is a blessing compared to a theocrat. Usually people attack me for this opinion; perhaps we are of the same mind, in which case I apologize for attacking you.

No, clearly not. I'm saying we should support the government of Al-Sisi against the fundamentally anti-democratic regime of Morsi.
