My goodness, you guys are so deeply consumed by your ideology that you won't even admit to this one.
This is why I no longer even attempt normal communication with you. While your behaviors are admittedly fascinating, they're also a little depressing.
Lone, caught you in a lie, guy. Own up and man up.
Those who are trying to bring about a badly-needed Reformation for Islam have to fight both the jidadists and people like you. Congratulations. That's quite a team you're on.
Guy, the very fact you use "Jihadists" as a word shows that you really don't understand history all that well.
You see, back in the 1970's, all the people we didn't like in the Middle East weren't "Jihadists'. We were all afraid they were some kind of Nationalists or Socialists. and the Jews and the oil companies did a pretty good job on playing on our fears of bad old communists.
Then the Right's Hero, Ronnie Ray-gun, decided it would be a wonderful idea to arm the religious fundementalists to fight to Communists. It's why I just can't get worked up that you see a Jihadist under your bed.
Our problem with the Islamic world is not that their Sky Pixie is worse than Our Sky Pixie. I could point out plenty of examples of Christians acting in a way Jesus wouldn't approve of had he actually existed.
Our problem is that we invade, we bomb, we prop up some people who are truly hated in the region, we turn a blind eye to stuff we shouldn't and go apeshit when they make choices we don't like.
In short, we keep ******* the hornet's nest and complaining about getting stung.
Well, we just got stung in Manchester. Because six years ago, the governments in Europe and Washington (A mix of both left and right wing entities) decided that we had to overthrow Colonel Qadafi even though he had renounced terrorism and was cooperating with weapons inspections.
But you won't address that. You'll whine about how Islam needs to be "reformed" and shit.
