You took the words right out of my mouth! There is strength in numbers. Rep given.

That whole horrible part of the world needs to be turned into one very flat, radioactive parking lot if the rest of us are to survive.

Yikes! I agree.

As it should be. They are the only ones who can chip away at this insane ideology. Even moderate muslims don't want to hear it from the infidels.

So you expect Muslims scattered in completely different parts of the world, often with less resources than the average American has, to easily lasso in the all nutjobs?

Good luck with that.
They are the only ones who can. And the solution is to not 'lasso the nutjobs', it's to start with the youth, who as of now, are being indoctrinated into their death cult. If the moderates could simply not instill hatred in the children, but teach them civility, in three or four generations things might start to change.

To arms, to arms. Americans know what time it is. Unite and do not allow ourselves to be divided on any lines.

Why those wussy German cops didn't shoot to kill when that mob was assaulting and robbing women is beyond me - well, maybe because they're wussies.

HOWEVER did you hear about the Muslims who protected Christians on the bus in... where was that? They gave the Christians articles of clothing to wear to blend them in and when the gunmen stopped the bus and demanded the Christians come out, the Muslims said "No, you'll have to kill us all" So they killed the bus driver and shot up the bus but they failed. That's what it's going to take. Terrorism is based on terror/fear. DO NOT FEAR. (says the God of the Bible)

Says the person who can't possibly have children. This "if the parents hadn't blah, blah, blah'" be it Islam, drugs, guns, violent video games, pornography etc, etc, they wouldn't have done the terrible things they do is nonsense. When a child murders their own murder, there is something far deeper amiss than bad parenting.

What survival is at stake for some Daesh member to kill their own parent? What survival is at state from some Daesh lover to travel thousands of miles to joins this psychopathic group? The only people "practicing Islam on each other are Muslims defending their homes.

You know sociopathy isn't reserved for Daesh, but would be an appropriate description for those who demand that Muslims stand up to Daesh, and then turn around and deride and disparage Muslims who everyday are on the front lines doing the lions share to defeat Daesh.

And the Yezidis, who also rank higher on the scale of those to be hated and killed. Those poor wretches would probably have been exterminated if the Kurds hadn't managed to prevent it.

- If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, .... when Christ calls for it; or otherwise they are not worthy to be called his disciples. ... The Cost of Following Jesus
‎Luke 14:27 - ‎Luke 14:25


Just because Christians are tamed now and just because they embraced the gospel of prosperity in this world, it doesnt mean that there were no more zealous times when killing relatives over faith matters was rather an unremarkable event. That guy would make a good old fashioned Christian. No untamed and hollowed out religion tolerates dissent.

The question is rather simple: how to hook hundreds of millions of the young Muslims on the westernized consumer culture where Allah would want them to do well in this world. There are no simple answers though, the lack of answers is largerly responsible for the well televised excesses and fervor. Give those people hope for a fat SUV, McMansion and a bottle of Prosac and they would revised their religious belief.

Apparently Christians aren't the only target.

I guess Allah and his promise of many virgins is more important than the people (Mom & Dad) who gave him life.


Now all we need to do is allow him into this country as a refugee, as I am sure he will be able to easily assimilate into our culture.
