Yes, I am aware that extremism comes in many forms. This site mainly only concentrates on one of those forms so I am pointing out one other that is overlooked and more of a threat to us in this country. That does not mean I condone Muslim terrorist actions in Libya, NYC, Iraq, Paris etc. Get outa town...

It wasn't just Muslims committing the terrorists actions in Libya unless you are one of those who claim Obama is a Muslim.

Pardon me??? I think you have me mixed up with one of the regular racist bigots that frequent this site. I think our lines are getting crossed here.

We are all aware of the former but smart money does not ignore the latter.
There is a need to identify your enemy rather than to become an apologist.

No. 'Smart money' does some reading into history rather than whipping out glib and fallacious slurs.

As another poster pointed out, Timothy McVeigh and his cohorts were not Muslim.

Neither was Anders Brevik. Hard to ignore that self-styled Knight Templar who slaughtered 70+ of his countrymen, most of them school kids.

Shining Path, Earth Liberation Front, Eric Rudolph, the Tamil Tigers...

Recent history is speckled with all sorts of terrorists, not just Muslim extremists.

Not sure what Obama has to do with it beside the fact that electing a Black man to the White House increased the numbers of these extremist groups or the numbers in their rank.

There is lots of info out there. Here's a recent opinion piece that gives an overview. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/16/op...reat.html?_r=0 Enjoy your Saturday.
That article says nothing about Christians; only anti-government far RW types, ala McVeigh (a self-proclaimed agnostic). Anti-government types motivations have zero to do with religion.

Like I said, B.S.

Nah, what they really want is to send thousands of other people to die again in desert ****holes while they bravely stroke keyboards from their La-Z-Boys.

We aren't still in Afghanistan and Iraq because of the conservatives.

Religion is what has kept radical Islam from growing. It's not good for many to have had enough of religion one will win, always has. It's been proven through history, notice how pagans (non-believers of any religion) never gained ground. This is like an ISIS dream come true, Christians begin to ignore their surroundings, as radical Islam grows.

Christians have always known the stakes. "Freedom isn't Free" isn't just a military bragging quote.

Is he afraid to rid the world of thousands, one is nothing. Why did he stand as ISIS took parts of Iraq and ISIS gaining control of our equipment and ammo?

Want my guess: Iran deal......
