Between ISIS and Taliban it's been a bad week for innocent people in vulnerable easy targets.
This is exactly why this scourge needs to be exterminated.And for those who like to always counter with "well the west created this problem with its occupation and depleted uranium shells,blah,blah,blah.Give it a fucking break.We didn't cause these murderering low life scum to shoot up a cafe in Australlia and slaughter a school full of children (again).No apologists on this one please.There is no excuse for tolerating this behavior from any radical group.

Disgusting brainwashed idiots looking forward to 1,000 virgins or something like this in the 'afterlife'. Have fun decomposing after being duped ya morons.
This forum reads these things in disbelief, but we shouldn't be surprised. In general, the average human being is simply a really dumb and destructive animal. The 'less than average' human being is incapable of any enlightened thought that places value on things other than themselves... and are the most dumb and destructive animal.
If they had a brain... they'd be out on the street playing with it.
It sucks.
Nart, we're all in this together, regardless of which deity - if any - you believe in. I assure you, I could give two shits about how one rationalizes the destruction of life: and especially of children, where you don't snuff out lives lived - you destroy potential. This is inexcusable and there is no torture horrific enough for what these criminally insane, deluded menaces deserve.
rr, I do have to say that I really hate the term 'apologist'. I don't think that anyone here - even those of us who are anti-interventionist (myself included) - think these atrocities are remotely justifiable. We all have the same goal: stop the madness. We just have different points of view in terms of how we get there.

Edit: Also, if we crave the diversity, I think we'd see a paradigm shift from a desire to 'fit in' to a desire to 'fit out'. And if we're all looking for scenarios different from us, we stop caring about the 'collective' we live within, and the relevance of these collectives should dissipate naturally.
Nart and fuck have both mentioned here that Islam teaches the importance of recognizing diversity and the need for non-Muslims in the world: it's a shame that these extremist attacks are such a blatant betrayal of noble ideals.

Anti interventionist?I like that.I will use that going forward.
To be a true ideologue would require a proper and innate 'ranking' of ideologies - one of them being interventionism. I consider myself an ideologue, and since I hold certain ideologies in a higher regard than interventionism, I couldn't call myself an anti-interventionist 100% of the time (though mostly I find when I think longer term, an anti-interventionist opinion is aligned with my other more-preferred ideologies). I know this kind of thinking borders on robotic, but I guess it's my mildly OCD, system-obsessed mind that's produced it.

Boggles the mind how we allow this charade to continue.
Yes I realize this had little to do with religion but maybe leaders would have harder time recruiting once we took this ploy away. This post is not directed at only Muslims but all religions/gods.
What the US fails to see or arrogantly ignores is how peoples in the various regions we stick our nose in are likely to respond to us imposing our will to protect our "interests" . With peoples with revenge on their heart or nothing to lose otherwise , how can they really be defeated?
There is no way this stops. it only progresses to eventual annihilation of all peoples everywhere..

That is an insane notion to 99.9999999% of anyone posting here including you and me. We try to make logic out of it. Thus we try to see how US policy figured into this. I understand where your point of view is coming from because we dabble in logic yet logic defies how such an event can occur. (I apologize if I'm off base).
If there is anything I've learned from AMT, the US has been poking their nose into every corner of the world, yet incidents like this are isolated to one region.
I don't accept the "Six degrees to Kevin Bacon" / "Uncle Sam's" fault as an acceptable theory for this madness.
1) I'd love to see the "Taliban Roadmap". My guess is that it exists, and is blatantly unconcerned with the gross violation of humanitarianism. It's also probably logical (though the end goals are probably unlikely, but we witness time and time again how 'faith' can amplify the perceived likelihood of something happening in spite of minuscule odds).
2) Incidents like this are not isolated to one region. We've seen this in the London bombings, in the Australian hostage situation, and in the 9/11 attacks. We witness it most in the Middle East likely because of the tremendous amount of corruption that goes beyond economic corruption, and into the realm of denying the masses of their basic human rights.
3) Just as some say it's America's fault, and other's say it isn't - my guess is both are correct. The US's involvement in foreign affairs is probably just one of numerous reasons for extremism in the region.

I don't see the Pakastani Military or ISS sitting quit while the orginazation that killed their own children flourish.At one time I thought The Pakastanis were sympathetic to some of the Taliban and offered a bit of Dont ask don't tell.But now I think they pissed in their own soup.Stay tuned.
Over there I wouldn't doubt it.Ur right it's all FUBAR.
