It's different now and Id like to see it go back to what it was. Watching the Macy's Parade this morning and loving our joy and our joy in freedom and excellence I mourn the differences then vs. now.
These monsters must be destroyed, subjugated and melted into the prison walls. They are inhuman and they must be stopped.
Take the gloves off Donald. Wage War.
You packing your and/or your kids' bags or do you want others to wage that war?
We can touch pork if we want. We'll just be unclean until evening. If Muslims touch pork and die they go to hell. I don't have the money to go over there and I have to announce it to them first. However over in Israel the buses have buckets of lard for just such an occasion.
No. Islam has its exemptions for such things as well. They do not believe they would be condemned for contacting pork in such a circumstance.
The Islamic radical content of many international mosques has to do with Saudi Arabian financial backing of many mosques - the Saudis have a deal with their tame Wahhabi - the Saudis put in money, as long as the Wahhabi export their most dogmatic young men to run the mosques. The Wahhabi also write the materials for the mosques - thus the radical nature of those materials.
However, because of the importance of Saudi Arabia in Western--and particularly American--economics, nobody is willing to call out the radical Wahhabism (aka Salafism) that the Saudis support and export to the West.
Other Muslims will tell you about it, but you won't hear American politicians or media call it out...which shows the power the Saudis have in society. And they now have the US fighting as their proxy in their war against Iran.
Exactly how many wars do you people wanna engage in?
It depends on who "you people" are. If "you people" are mostly westerners then they have the wrong POV on how to deal with the issue. They need to change their POV to that of eastern European/ Middle Eastern / Asian and enclose the issue. "You people" have learned nothing from decades of wars based on beliefs. The westerners need to leave the regions, create a fire wall and not allow them to cross. Let them fight each other and "you people" should stop joining in thinking they can simply resolve the situation. Syria is entering it's sixth year. Afghanistan/Iraq is entering it's fourteenth year.
As history has shown us under two POTUS, the OP is incorrect and the US needs to completely leave and let the situation run its course.
I keep hearing that the Jews were murdered because of "gun control", and that the only way to avoid being slaughtered is by arming yourself.
Looks like ISIS is safe, because guns.
This post is mixing two different time periods and neither have anything to do with this thread. This poster is mixing WW2 Jews with Mandate Jews. During WW2 everyone under the Nazi's were limited in ownership of arms. During the Mandate, the British were blockading the Jews from getting weapons while leaving the door wide open for the Arabs to get weapons. This topic has been covered is past threads and does not need to be brought up and covered in this thread.
Why can't we just outlaw Islam in western society? It just doesn't work anymore. We need a divorce.
Yah, I imagine it would work like Prohibition, or the War on Drugs, or the War on Poverty, or the War on Crime, or Whip Inflation Now, or the War on Pornography ...
It sounds easy enough, but it turns out that Arabic is entwined in a lot of chemistry & astronomy & lab equipment. Arabic was also a step in the preservation of Greek & Latin classics/documents/philosophy/plays/poetry in Western Civ. Arabic numbers, Arabic/Islamic influence throughout the Mediterranean, Spain, Italy, & by extension the desert or near-desert climates of the Americas.
I doubt that we can actually ignore all those people - 1.7 billion or so, across the World. & there's still the question of oil/natgas - the US doesn't particularly need that fuel, but much of Western Civ. does, including Japan, & the Tiger economies.

I was satirizing a poster who posted a picture of a death camp and claimed that the Holocaust happened because the Nazis banned guns.
As you pointed out, it's a frequent claim made by certain hoplosexuals who think their personal popguns are the only thing standing between them and tyranny.
Disprove and it pops up again, often propagated by the same individuals. Like Whack-a-Mole.
I apologize if I made it seem as if I was spreading that canard.
