This is the ultimate in tribal warfare; people in your tribe get killed and you seek out non-tribal members to kill. Especially non-combatants.
I think that’s the essence of it taken to a larger scale. Blow back against the NZ shooting means that a retaliation can happen at any Christian congregation. I think the reason that both New Zealand and Sri Lanka were chosen is to showcase the far reaching nature of attacks by each respective group or individual in the case of NZ. In essence, even remote places are not safe.
I don’t think there is an underlying connection between NZ and SL beyond that.
Pray tell how do we Muslims bring a halt to this? You think there is a one single religious leader at the helm of Islamic world who just needs to say something and it will stop right away? You think its the incorrect interpretation of religious texts? Then this can only change with education. Look at the level of education in most muslim countries and look at how many of those muslim countries are mired in wars? You didn't think the war in Iraq was going to create a throng of orphans who can't be brainwashed to turn into religious zealots in the hand of those who have something to gain from it?
Louis Farrakhan is such a leader. He is a man of the cloth, a man who could bring unity and peace to the Muslim world and start a peace process with the West.
Seriously?? You are going to come onto a thread talking about the slaughter of hundreds of people (and the wounding of many hundreds more)..........all done in the name of Islam..........and start talking about how Muslims are the VICTIMS??? You're on the wrong thread, dude........
You know, though, he has a point. The middle east and muslim world is often a lot more complex than many here in the west understand. It's not all black and white.
You want to paint a picture that Islamic and Islamic rulers neither had a violent past or not they never invaded countries in the past and forcibly killed or converted them.
Just like christians want to forget their violent past. Wonder why?
I heard on the news yesterday that ISIS is claiming responsibility for it.
But, but, but...that couldn't be, Trump has stated that he annihilated ISIS, and it no longer exists.....
Indeed, me too. Every religious person has the right to believe what he wants to. Be it Christian or Muslim.
I am basically against US spending tons of men and money, when Radical Islam is not their primary problem.
It is responsible for a disproportionate share of violent attacks. And in Muslim-majority countries such violence is one of the factors hobbling development and improvement of lives.

ISIS no longer controls territory. The credibility of their pronouncements is suspect. And frankly if they persist in such pronouncement their remainder and their supporters will suffer some truly awful consequences.

Louis Farrakhan, Where Are You When We Need You?
