Shoot, they don't care about the dead and all they really do care about is how it helps or hurts their ideology. That's all that matters, with them. I don't know at what key point the right wing went off the rails and started hating America, but hate it they do!
Oh I get it, you're not serious.

I'm talking about how different branches of Islam generally put it into practice.
Many in the levant would disagree that only Wahhabis are at fault or 'how the practice'.

One of my countries of origin, Algeria, would definitely disagree as their butchers in the 90s weren't Wahhabis.

True. I'm mainly talking about the ones who come to western countries to terrorize people though.

Also, many/most Middle Eastern and North/East African countries are underdeveloped hellholes with a lack of stability, jobs, or basic necessities for residents. So that plays a big role.

I honestly don't think the wars and turmoil in those countries are really about religion, but about resources/power. Religion is just a convenient excuse used to claim entitlement to those things.

I'm 25, and unfortunately I don't see this stopping in my lifetime.

We have a president who blames terrorist attacks on Youtube videos and global warming.

I mean, what do you expect?

Alex Jones? Find a credible news source before you embarrass yourself again by posting dibble from that known conspiracy site.

Are you seriously suggesting we take away the 2nd amendment rights for 76 million Muslim-Americans and countless numbers Democrats and blacks? I thought I was past the point where stuff posted on this site could shock me, but I was wrong.
