They are already in religious war with us. Doesn't matter what you do or say. Didn't you hear their call to attack churches? What do you think that is? Invitation to a debate night? Why didn't the Berlin trucker run over the used car flee market?
Be clear who you mean by "they!"
You mean the terrorists? Yes, true. You mean all Muslims? Wrong, not true.
During WW II we found out that it was critical to demonize the Japanese and Germans in order to achieve the focus and dedication necessary to beat them. Analogizing them to just another interest on the world stage ensures we'll make concession after concession until we live in dhimmitude.
While I did not vote for Trump apparently others have no stomach for more surrender.
Again the comparison of ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism with the circumstances of WWII.
So far vast majority of their victims have been other muslims, but they would prefer it to be muslims vs "others", because that would ensure them huge numbers of recruits.
I do not need to know more about Radical Islam than the fact that they have been at the throats of everyone on their border since Mohamed started the cult.
Cult?
Please...
Christian countercult movement
Walter Martin (1928–1989), American author and leading figure in the Christian countercult movement.
In the 1940s, the long held opposition by some established Christian denominations to non-Christian religions and/or supposedly heretical, or counterfeit, Christian sects crystallized into a more organized Christian countercult movement in the United States. For those belonging to the movement, all religious groups claiming to be Christian, but deemed outside of Christian orthodoxy, were considered cults.
I could go on with the ongoing badly needed education about such things, but something tells me no one cares to stick to the truth of these matters...
Turning the conflict into a religious war, with Muslims on one side and non-Muslims on the other, is exactly what Islamic State wants to do. So why do you want to placate the terrorists?
They are picking up where the Crusaders left off. It doesn't matter if YOU think it is a religious war. THEY think that way already.
Who are they? The "Muslim world" or a subset of Muslim Arab Countries or some fanatics that have hijacked a religion for their demented and evil purposes?
I had not got as far as your comment and same question as mine. Who is "they?"
Thanks, exactly.
People just can't seem to distinguish the bad apples from the rest, or maybe they just don't want to, because that takes a little more critical thinking and restraint. Who needs that?
Trump rightfully calls them Radical Islamic Terrorists. obama calls them brothers in arms.
obama and his miserable wife hates America, and won't call terrorists what they are because he is, and always has been, on their side.
America was lucky to have survived his stay in the WH.
So far vast majority of their victims have been other muslims, but they would prefer it to be muslims vs "others", because that would ensure them huge numbers of recruits.
Partly true.
The characteristics or deviations that define a terrorist are many, but one need simply consider our own home-grown terrorists who decide to blow up a Federal building or shoot up a theater to at least begin to understand that these people are for the most part unique as compared to most people, and generally just wrong in the head.
What helps terrorists recruit more terrorists is too many people who are 1) ignorant, and also; easily indoctrinated by whatever narrative fits their violent tendencies, and/or frustrations, overwhelmed with fears of being threatened, people who have little prospects of a quality life, typically young males with issues...
On the other hand, there are those who have resorted to terrorism at a bit higher level of sophistication. Say for example, the Irgun group, of King David Hotel bombing fame, labeled a terrorist group by the British.
Who are the terrorists and why are they doing what they are doing?
Donald Trump has no problem calling Muslims who pervert the religion of Islam to commit terrorist acts as Radical Islamic Terrorists. I applaud him for that. So why doesn't Obuma or why did not Hillary do the same? And the excuse that this would "alienate the good Muslims" is hogwash! If anything the moderate Muslims who obey the law and are good citizens should be publicly denouncing any terrorist act that is committed by a radical Muslim in the name of Islam. Every Muslim's life is just made harder if the moderates stay silent.
Where are the imams in the US speaking out against terrorist acts committed by radical Muslims?
I have not seen a public outcry from the "good Muslims" such as Gold Star Father Khizr Khan whose son died for this country and who we all owe a debt that can never be repaid. And while I feel for Mr. Khan I must say he had no problem bashing Trump while waving around his pocket copy of the constitution. Spend more time Mr. Khan speaking out against those that pervert your religion! Then maybe other Muslim soldiers in the US military may not have to give their lives to fight terrorism! Have a ground swell that starts within the Muslim community!
Perhaps if the current occupant of the White House had taken the responsibility of protecting US citizens from terrorism and called out those who use a religion to commit acts of terrorism, we would have a better handle on the situation!
Oh, indeed.
If ONLY Obama had uttered the magic words 'Radical Islamic Terorists" and waved the magic wand - we would be as safe as GWB kept us.
