I was watching a news program this morning where someone from the Clarion Project was speaking about Muslim enclaves in the U.S. that are radicalizing people regularly.

If in fact that is happening as described we are just as blind as those in Brussels.
Why don't the civilized countries in Europe and the United States simply occupy and obliterate the entire ISIS presence in the Middle East. This would take a few weeks of destruction with troops on the ground and a determined and focused plan. Why are we putting up with this crap? We can erase this, and it would be a trivial operation for our military forces.

Agreed. What one needs is political leadership and resolve to take these Islamic thugs out. What is lacking is just that.

Why was my perfectly legitimate post deleted? I'd like to lodge a complaint against the moderator of this forum.

The apparently not-so-unbiased moderator of this forum saw fit to delete my reply to you. I will therefore post another reply to you.

I am from India.

Based on U.S history of arming Islamic extremist nations like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and its support of Islamic rebels in Middle Eastern countries, can you blame us for seeing you as a very unreliable ally in the War on Terror?

I do not see India as an ally at all, on anything.

You are entitled to your opinion. We will continue the war on terror, as we always have (long before you joined the party in 2001), but please don't try to insist that your country's efforts against Islamic extremism are sincere. The amount of arms and money that flows from the U.S government to Islamic rebels (either directly in the case of Syria or indirectly through the Saudi and Pakistani governments) is staggering.

Where is India fighting Islamic rebels? Where are they fighting the war on terror?


They are not a world leader nor helper. They are self involved.

The Indian response to the Mumbai attacks was embarrassing and some of us don't forget that India has nothing like the FBI HRT team, the Seals, nothing like Delta Force.

Wow. Just wow.

Have you not been reading the news over the last twenty years? India, Russia and Israel are probably the only countries in the world that have been sincere in combating Islamic extremism. Go look it up; a simple Google search will provide all the information you require.
