    Imagine being a Muslim and seeing your own religion do this to "your" own religion. Shit, towards any religion. Unreal, the world just keeps getting shittier and shittier.

    Nart,the problem is fundamentalists.Not just Muslim,but all faiths.These zealots are idiots.The Christians,Jews,Muslims all have a disconnect between the everyday practicing person and the brainwashed psychopaths.Quit beating yourself up about it.This just goes to show that these filthy excuses for men will stoop to all levels to hit "soft"targets.
    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.

    All seven of the attackers wore suicide bomb vests, he said.

    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.

    Well put.

    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.

    I can't believe people are that fucked up. I wonder if it would be possible for people to completely forget about all religions for one week. The world would have one week of complete peace.

    Religion is a subset of something larger, which is freedom of self-expression. I suspect if you take away religion for a week, you'd see an uptick in nationalism related extremism. Until we actively seek diversity in personalities/beliefs/cultures, we are doomed to remain intolerant, indifferent, and abusive towards each other.

    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.

    The school is operated by the army for children whose parents are in the military.

    If you like it, it's yours, though now that I'm thinking about it, it might be the wrong term.

    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.

    But back on topic... this is all fucking horrible. I just wish I had anything valuable to add to the discussion but the more I hear about this, the more futile the situations seem.

    Humans are weak easily manipulated sheep. And though Gods are not the entire reason maybe if we just said " Look there are no Gods. There are no holy books" and just get it over with rather than pandering to human insecurity.

    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.

    retaliation. Their claim is this was done to strike back in the same way that Pakistan at our behest or backed by us has done to them. This school in particular as they were the children of soldiers in that fight to abolish the taliban.

    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..
