khwarezm posted:'gently caress these guys, not for what they did, but for the inevitable legislative response'. Actually a good response. It's sad a couple dozen people got bombed, but all of Europe making GBS threads itself and making life suck more than necessary for three hundred million people is the wrong response to terrorism aka a method used by losers to have disproportionate effects on their victims.

There are very few instances where that worked out the way we wanted. given that the worst case scenario is saudi arabia becoming isis country and the current real scenario is saudi arabia already being isis country (but on an export basis and with better pr) there's nowhere to go but up

V. Illych L. posted:tbh CH does hold islam in open and cheerful contempt, so saying they're not "islamophobic" is perhaps not the best argument to push, but they at least used to be pro-laïcité rather than specifically anti-muslim, particularly that brand of anti-muslim as a cover for racism that is so popular among e.g. the Front National The word "islamophobia" is used as shorthand for "hating muslims (because gently caress brown people)", not for "hating aspects of islamic religious organisations without having a problem with individual believers". The word would technically be better suited to the latter but it already ended up meaning the former.

The point of his story about his childhood is to contrast the role Germany played back then with the role Germany plays today. What a change! So when he brings up how this building used to have a very different function, is it to illustrate how Personal feelings don't matter (except it turns out governments still consist of people, and all people as a rule are stupid emotional idiots who can barely tie their own shoelaces when worked up over something).
