another perfect example of the politics of fear working.Godfather. said:I was just watching the news in our hotel room "house defies Obama and holts refugees" it's about time somebody pulled their heads out of their ass's and stood up to that clown to stop the flood of terrorism into our country, and more needs to be done.

anti-semite anti-semite....there was a time this term had an affect on people. Now, anyone who has even a passing interest in the occupation brushes this off as if someone is being called a 'big meanie'. Your constant alarmist victim-baiting has completely killed all legit affect this claim once had. Well done.BS44325 said:

The passport was a fake but the fingerprints are real. This means the terrorist passed through greece on a fake syrian passport.

That is why maybe we should figure out who these people were before we jump to conclusions and lay blame......on that note, I'm still waiting for the evidence of the BDS movement's involvement.
As far as BDS...They finger the target while those committed to violence takes those targets down.
Please keep defending them and the murder they incite.
Meanwhile the Israeli education minister brags about killing Palestinians....the justice minister openly calls for Palestinian genocide. you reach and speculate and draw imaginary lines to demonize peaceful protest and resistance by Palestinians, yet don't seem to cast any blame on people like Bennett and shaked, and their ever growing support among Israelis.
Fine by me, I enjoy knowing that BDS makes you nervous enough to go to these extremist lengths.
(Pause and think)
This is a fanclub dedicated to music and the free expression of ideas after all. Who will stand up from the BDS crowd to ensure others will behave in a non-violent fashion? I am sorry but this burden falls upon the movements defenders. What happened at the Eagles show must not repeat.
I am more than ok with Roger Waters sending Chris Cornell a letter stating why he shouldn't play Israel. In fact Id be surprised if he hadn't already sent him one and it just hasn't been publicized. It's a letter. It doesn't promote violence. The fact that he is playing Israel again is all over the internet - every israeli rag in the world trumpets every show booked in their country as if it's headline news....Besides, you just admitted yourself that Roger Waters is a pacifist and does not condone violent actions. So what are you getting at? Why are you asking if I'm ok with Waters sending Cornell a letter? Are you trying to tug at some heart strings (incite a fear based reaction) by saying BDS is making 'one of our own' a target? Sick. You're grasping at straws....using the murder of 129 innocents to further your cause....
It's really only odd if you think these people followed any kind of mainstream interpretation of islam. They don't - they weren't true believers of what the mass majority of muslims interpret their faith to mean, and what they deem to be acceptable behaviour.Jason P said:
Islam would very much like that, which is why it is so odd.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

oh? seems like a pretty broad statement. the attacks, and terrorist ideology, have nothing to do with islamic culture.PP193448 said:
I hope so. There's no way to fight the ideology. Reform of Islamic culture would be needed. Stopping refugees will not stop the ideology, it just calms the mass hysteria of bringing terrorism into the US, regardless if it is truly possible with the vetting process.mickeyrat said:

he said "they're already talking about it at G20". I said "yeah, maybe they are talking about how to contain the threat, but how do you go to war against an idea? it's not like it's confined to a geographical jursidiction, and no one went to war with Germany until they had millions of troops invading other countries. ISIS doesn't even have a miniscule fraction of that number, not to mention they are blowing themselves up in the process".Gern Blansten said:
How do you respond to crap like that? I almost feel a civic duty to inform them of how stupid they are.HughFreakingDillon said:my coworker is convinced this will be WW3. yeah, because fear mongering american media says so.
Highly doubt it was meant to reference the ideology, which is what I think you guys are referring to.
I'm no fan of religion, but I like the scorn to be shared proportionately. No one ever talks about the culture of hate manifested in politics and ideology by bible belt christians and militant jews, who are often the biggest cheerleaders of war against muslim states. State terror that kills exponentially more people than any terrorist actions. These zealots use religious justification for murder in the exact same way islamic extremists do. The main difference being, the christian and jewish war-mongering extremists have armies of other people's kids to do their bidding for them (and governments who are willing to downplay the religious justifications for fear based ones), while the islamic extremists employ guerilla/psy-op tactics because they have no state military behind them....and if anyone thinks there are no elements of our governments/MIC (and those of our allies) exploiting these tactics to further their own causes, then you aren't paying attention.
----------------------------
Haven't seen anyone here mention yet that all of the attackers were Europeans. Guess we can stop conflating the refugee issue with terror, and get back to pinpointing blame on islam, right?
And jason - what did you mean with your latest shot at Russia? Always find your cold war throwback view of the world interesting....

Same with the guy who murdered the soldier on Parliament Hill (Canada) last year. He had no connection to ISIS......I wonder how connected to ISIS some of these Paris attackers were.Jason P said:Odd thing is that most of the Paris Islamic terrorists, according to reports, seemed to be addicts to drugs and alcohol.

Never meant that reform should only happen with one particular culture or government. It's not at all justified to kill innocent people for any cause, religious or other.Drowned Out said:

While we're talking russia.....all this complaining about equitable coverage of the lebanese attack in comparison to coverage of the paris attack....yet no one seems to be complaining about equal coverage of the Russian airliner taken down over the Sinai? Not sure if it's even been mentioned on the board yet. Debating whether lebannon was a case of human-shields for Hezbollah, or a straight up muslim-on-muslim terror attack furthers the demonization of islam....while debating the ISIS/Russia confrontation can only result in russia getting some western empathy....we wouldn't want that.0

I agree...but I'm sure people will reply to this saying 'that's no solution - we can't let ISIS overrun the middle east and bring the war to our shores!'...while completely ignoring the west's continued role in their rise. Then they'll fall back to their justifications for more war/murder.PP193448 said:

This should be discussed and I have no problem showing the Russians empathy but let's not forget that russian backed ukrainian separatists took down a commercial jet of their own a little while back. That is not the fault of those passengers flying out of Sharm-el-sheikh but on a gut level I do struggle with Putin complaining about it.Drowned Out said:While we're talking russia.....all this complaining about equitable coverage of the lebanese attack in comparison to coverage of the paris attack....yet no one seems to be complaining about equal coverage of the Russian airliner taken down over the Sinai?

honestly, anyone that worries about syrian refugees coming to the US needs to educate themselves on exactly what those refugees go through to get the green light. do you know the screening process? I'm guessing you don't. read this:Godfather. said:

Yet it worked extremely well in Germany and Japan so go figure. It is about a commitment to winning and staying to secure the peace. Peace was secured in Iraq but then came withdrawal. If troops stayed ISIS would be on the ropes. This is dubbed the long war for a reason. A commitment to stay is necessary.PJ_Soul said:
