maybe if the Muslims ignored it and went about their lives it would go away

When you think about it this whole terrorism thing is muslims reacting to being droned when they should just go about their day.

The vast majority of them do ignore it and try to live their lives. Then we bomb them more until they have nothing left.

Then they turn into scary bogeymen that terrify weak gringos like you

The best way to handle that is to go about our lives bombing like we did before the attacks. Changing our actions based on terrorism means the terrorist win.

Sure seems like you're just making a bunch of racist and unfunny posts in a forum instead of ignoring it.

Also, eunuch doesn't mean what you think it does. Lemme guess- you have kids or you want to have kids and you're insecure about their future.

Well I'm sorry, but that was your choice. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones that doesn't have to eat or sell your kids to survive. I don't have high hopes tho- I heard the first people to make it to America we're eating their children to survive, I guess the last white people in America will also have to eat their children to survive.

What is your obsession with eating children? Is that a mexican thing or just you?

Well yeah actual incitement, maybe, could be reasonably construed as a "form" of violence. Some nutjob standing around saying how much they hate the jews or the blacks or the mexicans or whatever isn't violence, but it's being spun that way to justify really dumb acts of pre-emptive *actual* violence. It's like this big dumb explosion of irony and self delusion.

People know you can only justify violence in self defense, so if you really want to punch somebody just claim they are guilty of some nebulous form of "violence" that no two people can ever quite articulate in the same way, and you're good to go.

You can't regulate speech because if you outline specific words everyone will just use alternative words. Then your secret police are arresting people for posting pictures of a cartoon frog because that is now the code image for "kill all the jews".

So now you have to:
1. Ban the peace sign
2. Allow them to use it as a symbol of hate
3. Selectively enforce the law based on subjective circumstances

Keep in mind every time we choose option 3 the police use it exclusively against black people.

we're perfectly aware of the many problems in Islamic countries - but many have adopted more pro-Islamic rhetoric as a response to anti-Islamic ideas on the right.

This is why Trump won. You are purposefully being extra accepting to try to counteract the anti-islamic ideas. The average person just sees you being what is in their opinion too accepting.

Unfortunately, I think the attitude that any Muslim could be a terrorist at any moment is extremely pervasive on the right, and that makes it hard to get support for reformist Islamic groups in the U.S. - or even abroad, see the example of Iran moving toward further openness (too slowly, but it's there) with the west. You can't have it both ways. Either you push all the Muslims out of society and decide that no Muslim can live in a western society (and there's plenty of that in this thread), or you want to work to fix problems and help people victimized by their own religion.

For years liberals were pushing America towards becoming an atheist nation. Even today non-religion makes up the majority of the population. When the lefts support for Islam started getting mainstream they still kept the hatred for Christians around. It seems super hypocritical because the exact same view is good or bad depending on which group holds it. Meanwhile the United States was founded by Christians who practiced non-persecution. It is only because they allowed non-believers to live among them that atheism found a place to grow and prosper.

You do not have to be islamic to dislike hijabs. Some people think any kind of ritual based on false beliefs is a waste of time especially when it can oppress women as a result. Women in islamic countries wear them because a crowd will stone them to death for not wearing it. They only leave the house with a male escort because they will be savagely raped if found alone.

This terrorist attack has the express purpose of stopping women from gathering in public for unapproved activities like singing and dancing. Much like the sexual assaults in cologne they inspire fear in women. Then you see suggestions from the left that women bring a male escort with them when out in public...

One guy says "there is no such thing as god idiot" then he draws mocking images of every religion in order to illustrate his point. A Muslim comes along and kills him for the drawing.

Well, at least we're getting somewhere. Do you think their stated beliefs are sincere, or are they just putting on a show for white people?

It is a complete minstrel show that only exist because why people offer meager funding towards it. Reformist Islam has no mainstream support from any Muslim nation. Meanwhile the Saudis are funding all sorts of cut off their clits extremist groups all over the world.

You need to find better sources of information before you believe things. People who verify facts. Real experts, scholars, journalists. People who research poo poo. Not conservative radio hosts parroting what they read in a blog.

P.S. The argument doesn't hold water anyway. There are billions of Muslims on the planet. If a majority of them, even a more significant minority, were radicalized, that would be reflected. Look at what Japan did with just a radicalized government and some propaganda, for instance. Yet there are none of these "majority radical" Muslim nations fighting to the death for Islam. Imagine if there were actually a billion people in the world willing to violently kill themselves in suicide attacks for their religion. Think about what that world is like. You can look at the world. You can look at Muslim families, communities, cities, and see that this isn't happening. And that's just the most obvious counter-argument. It doesn't even get into how much Shapiro's stats aren't backed up.

You see this happen in every argument on both sides now. Look at the Republican flip on whether we should act militarily in Syria. People just want to be on the same side as the people they like, and opposed to the people they don't. Big shocker, the average person doesn't think about politics that much.

The lack of a global muslim caliphate is not from lack of trying but rather sheer incompetence. The same idiocy that drives their religious extremism is present at every level of government and milliary.

"Islam is categorically a terror cult" is a moronic opinion, as is "actually Christianity is every bit as much of a terror cult, well you see because of the Crusades". They are both very, very stupid opinions. It is stupid to pretend that Christians have always been more tolerant than Muslims, because that is obviously not true across space and time, just as it is also stupid to pretend that, say, Jews have always had this blissful existence when under Muslim rule. You can't cherry-pick the Golden Age as being the "natural order of things" any more than you can cherry-pick intolerant places and eras and pretend that that's the natural order of things.
