Start listening, and you might start seeing and accepting logic. Just because someone you hate said something doesn't mean you "get it". A vast majority of middle eastern problems (which have become global) can be traced to two issues: Oil (starting with Iran Coup) and Palestine.
why don't you 'splain to us how the paris attack traces back to oil and Palestine.

this should be good

Not close enough, as you left the more important part (which was the point of my using the quote providing that perspective).

Now I know you are utterly clueless...the artificial construction of the nation-states of syria, lebanon, and iraq, the shia-sunni divide, the spread of wahhabism, qutb's teachings - those 1,000-year old conflicts are somehow due to the existence of Israel? Are you freaking kidding me?

These tribes have been at war for thousands of years, and you blame Israel? Go read something, anything on the mideast, please.
Well, it ain't me who is clueless, it is just that people like you are in denial. I will also add that you're just not alone, but seem to be a big majority, a reason things are only going to get worse.

No amount of explanation can help those who have a huge void in their life, and are delusional. If you want to get it, do yourself some favor, and try to learn why Nazis were simply using Jews being the abomination for all ills in the 1930s and today, right wing nutcases are going about the same against a different religion. More of the same, just a different approach.

Never mind, you would never get where the Jews crusade that gave birth to Israel would host more immigrants, and why Israel is hated in the middle east (hint, its not because they are Jews, but they are people who are taking over and suppressing a segment of the populace, continues to be promoted, unconditionally supported by politicians for their own religious and financial gains).

I read his comments but he did not blame Israel for the Paris attacks. Why are you trying to make is sound like he did?

Before you pull the 'not ALL Muslims' trick, I agree, but those terrorists have a popular and common interpretation of the Quran.
Those terrorists for the most part never even read the Quran, it's just an excuse to murder.

One of the policemen that was murdered, the one laying on the ground begging for his life was Muslim, his brother said it best "My brother was Muslim and he was killed by two terrorists, by two false Muslims,”.

Amen. Also this hero at the Grocery Store, a Muslim immigrant from Mali now recognized by over 200K of the grown ups in France who signed petition to reward him.

Carter and Obama have a lot in common. Both are bumbling socialist idiots. The only good news is that after the disastrous Carter administration came Reagan. One can dream of another Reaganesque leader saving us after the disastrous Obama administration. Fingers crossed.

When you talk about the problems with Palestine being part of the reason for Muslim terrorists attacks, you're blaming Israel.
