please dont reply to a post that claims to genuinely see islam and christianity as the same thing lol

Your right, extreme Islam is going for the flashy death tolls and headlines while extreme Christianity steers the planet to extinction, Christianity maintains it's kill count lead playing the long game.

Seriously all religion tries to shackle science and logic and morality at this point and all the people who follow the "peaceful, loving" versions are following watered down, edited stuff to keep followers in line of either of them. I've just had it with them.

ISIS is an inherently supremacist expansionist apocalyptic organization. Asserting that its actions, against Westerners Yazidis Shia or anyone else, stem from legitimate grievances and not from its extreme dominionist interpretation of Sunni Islam, is patently absurd. It is insulting to claim that ISIS murders children in Manchester or in Mosul because of drone strikes. It is depravity. It's enabling, and frankly insulting to Muslims who aren't blowing people up, to claim otherwise.

They are trying to drive a wedge between Islam and everyone else, and it's clearly working.

To put this in super lovely simple movie-comic terms (since frankly the parallel is pretty fitting), ISIS is the Brotherhood of Mutants trying to start poo poo with everyone so the world turns on all of them and forces a war, which they believe they'd win thanks in part to all the mutants having to join the Brotherhood to survive once said war starts.

Again, I realize how goofy the loving comparison is, but it's pretty apt at summing up the actual intent of ISIS terrorist acts, which is working absolutely flawlessly. They WANT this us vs them narrative, so that they can bring all Muslims worldwide to their banner (and what they believe will be victory).

Cause Violence -> Cause Hate -> Use Hate to Recruit -> Repeat is pretty much their MO. And it works easy. Every time they do something awful it helps them recruit more people to do more awful things and it never stops.

Easy: when the house of saud starts getting uppity, they all end up assassinated. Wahabism never becomes a worldwide export. The west gets to double-fist oil from SA and Iran. Terrorism remains a silly novelty for basques Irish and israel/palestine

Here's another idea on how to stop bombings in public places. Create a camera that can see through clothes and is sensitive to the chemicals used in various bombs. Then make the camera have a very high resolution so the atomic structure of the material being filmed can be seen. Then hook up the camera to a computer vision program that can detect explosive material and send a notification to law enforcement. Finally, install these cameras all over public places.

No, they do care and hand out aid. Japan was just founded as an ethnostate and they realize that the only way to cram that many people together on a rock is extreme social cohesion, and massive ethnic and cultural differences don't make for strong social cohesion. This is true for many small countries that started out that way
