    It was brought up in the 'attacks nobody cares about' thread.

    Extreme left wing views- such as the ones consistently defending Islamic violence- are as goofy as the extreme right wing views- such as the ones demanding deportations.

    There's a middle ground that needs to be shaped and accepted.

    Unfortuanty no one cares about these attacks.
    Speak for yourself please
    After the Paris attacks there were French flags all over facebook; where are all the Turkish flags today? I haven't seen one. Seriously, unfortunately no one cares about these attacks.
    That's true, and that's the reason this entire thread was created in the first place. You're totally right. I just meant, and what I assume jnimhaoileoin meant, was that WE happen to care. I don't think we got that you were talking that generally. :)
    Aaaaah got yA! So we agree! Nice.
    It is sad that these types of attacks really don't have any sort of impact on the western world. people seriously don't give two shits.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    No, and since I made this thread I've found that more often than not, folks are very comfortable making excuses as to why not, and don't feel that there is anything wrong with this..... Obviously I disagree. I am saddened by the apathy, particularly when these events really do have real meaning in our lives too, when you look at the BIG picture.

    She started the "terrorist acts we don't talk about" thread. I know what she means.

    People are right that western world doesn't care. I'm surprised at the little information that we are receiving do far.

    I am glad that everyone is still commenting though.

    I'm not claiming that people don't care. I truly believe they do. What I am claiming however is that people don't want to acknowledge the cause. As far as these boards are concerned the boogeyman is western imperialism, racism, carbon emissions, US gun laws, Israel, and of course Donald Trump.

    Funny you say that because there is a spin that there is "no Islamic extremist problem"...

    I think this is legitimate; however, the overall tone seems to be changing and many who championed such a belief in the past- painting all who spoke even remotely to the real problem as intolerant buffoons- seem to be distancing themselves from that thought pattern.

    Radical Islam is not the fault of this administration. It's modern birth dates back to Sayyid Qutb in the 1940's and it has grown steadily since. What is the fault of this administration is the idea that a big speech in Cairo, the emptying of guantanamo, enforced political correctness within federal agencies, withdrawal from Iraq and Afganistan, the non-enforcement of red lines, the empowerment of Iran at the expense of previous Sunni allies, the backing of the muslim brotherhood, the badgering of Israel, the removal of Gaddafi without thought to the afternath, and generally just downplaying the threat world wide would lead to some great peace in our time. This has all been a formula for disaster and it will be this administrations great legacy for years to come.

    That guy needs a political pardon.

    I think he pushed the envelope too far, but he is a decent guy and every time one of these incidents occurs... I think how he writhes in agony and frustration ovwr the looming lash back.

    He's made an impact whether he knows it or not.

    Woah! My bad everyone maybe US gun policy under this administration can be blamed for some of these Islamic terror attacks:

    It's funny how easily you ignore George W Bush and his insane administration smashing the stability of the entire middle east with the senseless and unjust invasion of Iraq...

    maybe that was Obamas fault too?

    There was no "stability of the entire middle east". It was a mirage.

    I'm not going to debate you or anyone else on here, honestly it's a waste of time... but the middle east was a much more stable place than it is now, albeit with dictators & monarchies supported by the USA, but it was definitely more stable than it is currently. It wasn't perfect, but it didn't help that cowboy George and his energy industry crony posse decided to topple Sadaam based on lies and deception... which led to a power vacuum easily filled by the Iranians... which lead to the toppling of several strong arm regimes during the Arab spring... and by the way, didn't ISIS originate in Iraq? Are you following the dominoes now?

    I will ask this though, what exactly do you think the Obama administration should do, or should have done, to try yo stop or slow terrorism

    I didn't just start paying attention yesterday, so attempts to make W look like a hero and Obama to be a terrorist sympathizer won't fly here brother... frankly Obama has done a gell.if a lot more to fight terrorism, mostly in ways I disapprove of... but at least he was able to capture bin laden... and at least he didn't use fear and bogus "threat levels" to scare the shit out of Americans leading up to an election
