Islam is a conservative right-wing ideology.

Now that I was overly clear hopefully everyone can be on the same page.

Well this is incredibly ironic in a dark, twisted way, given that the ultraconservatives and radical Muslims like to think they are polar opposites.

Among the material he had was a piece arguing 9/11 and the OKC bombings were government conspiracies, one about the "rape of our gun rights," one about white supremacy that stated, "Hitler had a point," and one deriding the use of drones in the Middle East.

So I guess the next logical step is for us to ban conservative libertarian immigration, and export those already here... you know, just like what we should do with Muslims... right? Right?
Are you equating libertarians with extremism now ?


You've lumped ultraconservatives, radical Muslims and libertarians into one "they are the enemy" pot.
What about the Independents ?

Radical Christians and Radical Muslims are kindred spirits , they just don't know it

Reminds me of the gang warfare in the US, gangbangers from the Crips are essentially identical to ganbangers from the Bloods, same background, same experiences, same values.

They just happen to be born in a different neighborhood, otherwise they would probably be good friends.

Keep in mind that Tsarnaev is white, by the way. Do you really think he organized this attack to fight against white supremacy?

I think he organized the attack because he is a radical Muslim terrorist.

You'll do better next time though, hun.
Oh I got your point just fine, everything policially to the right of Josef Stalin is bad and must be deamonized, it was pretty obvious.

The problem is you used flawed information and illogical arguments to try and make your point.

If the basic premise of your argument is flawed, then you can only build straw man arguments to support it, that is why you failed so miserably in your attack.

Keep trying though, someday you may get a clue
