So? They are in the middle of nowhere and no threat to you at the moment. Why is it your business to get in their business?
I have family that are threatened by the violence. I've seen what groups like ISIS have done. How they corrupt the faith they profess to be killing on behalf of.
How, exactly, is your family threatened by ISIS on the other side of the damn planet?
You don't have family spread across the country or the world? You have never moved to another town or country? Every member of your extended family live in the same neighborhood as you?
I have family around the world. I was not raised in the mid-west USA. I've lived, worked or traveled to a good number of countries and filled a fair number of passports. Why would you assume that I should not have family and loved ones in the middle east?
Do you really believe others might not also have family and loved ones in the region? Do you believe americans or westerners do not live or work on that side of the "damn planet"? We seen people from around the world try to illegally travel and join radical fighting groups over there. Why should there not be people, beyond those with a death wish in the name of allah, that also are over there?
IYBUYA?
Yet again, no specifics. Where did you get the idea that you were allowed to, as a human being but mostly as a citizen of one nation, to go wherever you damned well pleased so therefore you have the right to stick your nose into the business of nations scattered across the globe? I've traveled the world myself, what was open and mostly safe for Americans that is, and ISIS is none of your goddamned business, period. Hate them all you like but they aren't at war with you, not yet anyway.
Specifics like the name of my parents, god parents, friends, etc.? I list of every school, job, country I have lived or travel to?
Specifics like that should not be any of your damn business. Personal information is not supposed to be disclosed on this or most forums.
There are people, friends, that know some of the "specifics" of my life. You are not among my friends. You should not even be asking or expecting specifics like that.
I have family on every continent with the exception of Antarctica and Australia, that I am aware of.
Not every poster on this forum actually live in the US or have US citizenship.
ISIS is my "damn" business and I have the right to question, study, comment and complain about it if I want to on this or any forum or media. It is my "damn" business because I make it my business.
Why are you defending a despicable group that even other muslims are denouncing? Why shouldn't it be the business of every thinking caring person?
