Sorry I won't buy into this all Muslim's are bad BS. I worked with Muslim guys/women and I can say with certainty they will not become terrorists. The Muslim surgeon who removed my fiancés' cancer was and is spectacular.

As usual, you have to change my words to keep your narrative intact. I never said "all muslims are bad" did I? Nor have I ever, despite your friends' attempts to persuade others I have.

"Repeat it often enough (with emotion) it becomes true."

I've met and worked with muslims too. Some were really nice on the surface, others were abrasive and aggressive about pushing their religion at all times, and some of those "nice" ones showed their on/off switch if the topic ever came up about someone disrespecting islam - their calm demeanor turned to fury in an instant.

Of course, my evidence (as is yours) is anecdotal... but we can see countless examples of the same out there. Millions.

I'll make it very clear, the islamic system contains some elements that are very bad and completely incompatible with our western lives. These problems need to be spelled out clearly and addressed by their own members for there to be any lasting peace among themselves and the rest of the world. Not merely ISIS, much of islam itself.

Got it? No more false accusations.

Apologies I misunderstood

I do feel that the regressive progressives is inviting a fight. I'd clarify that if I were you

You still sound bigoted from what you just posted. Just from the way you post half the time they might have not liked you irregardless of their religion.

You come off annoying to begin with, just the avatar itself says a lot.

Got it ?

Wanna' know what's really sad? They're not even liberals anymore, though they still wear the old name tag. They've taken their beliefs and policies so far to the left they've buried the needle and something broke, turning them into raging zealots worse than anything the far-right has ever had - going to any lengths to defend their religion of Progressivism.

Even liberals like me get called "conserva-terrorists" because we're not as deep into far-left beliefs as they.

Funniest thing I think I've ever read in this place.
 
You guys can talk about precautions till your blue in the face. The reality is if someone wants to do harm, and they have zero regard for their own well being, it's going to be nearly impossible to stop their attack.

I live in NJ, near the beach and boardwalk. We have so many soft areas that it's frekin scary. What do you do? Be scared for the remainder of your life? Or, do you fully live your life knowing that today could be your last.
 
We're approaching such a state of intra-and-extra-civilizational war, and we're basically defenseless and paralyzed because of leftist divide-and-conquer BS.

WE NEED TO BE FIGHTING RADICAL ISLAM! Instead, we're obsessed with "Decolonizing" and combating "Whiteness..."

We are pre-defeated. Western Civilization is seen as the problem, even from within.
 
What a terrible event. Truly sad.

My family and I attended "Red, White & Boom" in Columbus, OH a couple of weeks ago. Between half a million and a million people attended, it was great weather. This event in Nice is a stark reminder that what happened there could have just as easily happened in Columbus -- or anywhere else for that matter.

Are we going to hear more bullshit speeches about how it's not really islam? Maybe more bullshit pushing for gun control to disarm law abiding citizens here in the US?

Good post. The political left is so obsessed with politically correct bullshit that we can't take on the real challenge: how to deal with a cancerous religion that is fundamentally incompatible with freedom.

This is absolutely true, unless you want a North Korea style absolute police state. Instead of focusing on the weapon (gun, bomb, disease and so forth), the real focus has to be on the person wanting to do harm. You can't prevent someone from doing harm if they really want to, you can just try to not have so many people wanting to do harm.

What do you do? Be scared for the remainder of your life? Or, do you fully live your life knowing that today could be your last.

You can fully realize that you have no guarantees in this life and live accordingly, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take steps to try and root out those who want to cause harm.

Yeah I can tell English isn't your native tongue so I'm going to reign in my reply here out of courtesy.

You seem to be under the (false) impression that I don't take issue with religious zealots committing violent acts, while avoiding the point I'm trying to make. So I'll take another shot, keep your example of Egypt, and this time try to involve a picture or two to help you understand.

Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside. (see photo gallery)

From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.

“We either live together, or we die together,” was the sloganeering genius of Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural centre distributed flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night, and who has been credited with first floating the “human shield” idea.


Sorry to use a story that didn't involve rape, but as you can see, the Wahabi Cult of Evil you so despise isn't running the show in Egypt.

You find praise for the Muslims defending the catholic church, yet manage to ignore what hey have to defend the church from: Muslims.

But he is right.

The leader of the regressives denies there's a connection between Muslims and terrorism.

How can you solve a problem when you deny one of its root causes?

Its amazing that you only find one side bigots. That awesome progressive liberal brain of yours sure has some huge blind spots.

So we should consider all Christians as being the same as those who blow up abortion clinics and kill abortion doctors. Sounds fair to me.

I could have written that post, in its entirety, and made it about black people (fuck y'all, I grew up in Flint)

Dude. Did you come up in a place where other peoples' skin color was different from yours at least as often as not, if not even oftentimes moreso?

If not, then... Don't lecture the rest of us about "diversity", thanks.

Not at a slow speed like this began and if its a fast speed I doubt the driver would be able to continue.

Again I could be wrong but the very beginning appears that there is nothing blocking the road but a small portable fence.

but if west was not forced to be like that from the media
this would have never happened

iin the 60 would this have happened
no
and you know why because you would not brign your enemy in your country and put him on welfare

all the poor refugee in europe live in welfare and because they drain all the money the europeans need to work more and pay more to feed up the refugee

and do the refugee are happy for their good luck???
NO they only talk about the moral decay of the west and that it need to change
FUCK OFF GO ALL BACK IN YOUR DESERTS
even the 193573926896 generation

and we need to remember something if a group can not control their extremist then the whole group takes the blame and the fall

if a war breaks out is it only between the people in power between the countries or it effect all the population???

its so funny if a german say he does not want an illegal in his country his a nazi and want genocide and and and all that bullshits
what not wanting illegals has to do with nazi or genocide!????

and nazi was a political party even with that definition who is to be blame??
the people that vote?? the people that were in the party??

its funny that in some cases we extend the guild to bigger groups than then logic indicates and to longer periods than the logic indicates
and we give the green light to others
