tzijlstra Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 You might not trust you own ability to make judgements and draw conclusions from what see and here but most people do. Where exactly have I ever blamed Muslims for ww1 or ww2 or any of the other terrible things you list? Talk about putting words in people's mouths! My point is absolutely clear. Whilst other cultures can and have been infected by ideological madness, the culture currently most infected is Islamic culture. Islamic culture has a problem with religious extremism like no other culture does. It is nasty and it is a threat to everyone. The only people who can do something about it are the people who practice and pass on the culture. I therefore collectively charge all Muslims as having a responsibility for doing something about it. How can I be any clearer? You are completely missing Mr Fisk's well made point: You call it religious extremism but in actual fact, if you look at these organised movements it is far more akin to civil war than anything else. You are mixing these events into a pot with the few attacks that have been made on the west and tada! violent religion established. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny5 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Fact? Based on what- where is the evidence and can you provide a link to it please. Just because you want something to be true and keep saying it- doesn't mean it will become the truth. While I am here may be you can consider these facts: Who started the First World War, which killed 37 million and injured 22, 379, 053 that includes 7 million civilians? Muslims? • Who started the Second World War, which killed over 60 million, which was over 2.5% of the world population? Muslims? • Who killed about 20 million of Aborigines in Australia? Muslims? • Who drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed 166,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki? Muslims? • Who killed more than 100 million Red Indians in North America? Muslims? • Who killed more than 50 million Indian in South America? Muslims? • They weren’t Muslims! First of all, you have to define terrorism properly…. If a non-Muslim does something bad… it is crime. But if a Muslim commits the same, he is a terrorist. So first remove the double standard… then come to the point. What you are essentially saying is that because Europeans did bad things decades ago so we now need to keep quiet when non-Europeans do bad things.

tzijlstra Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 That's the way I read it too. Not quoting the ridiculously long list you posted, but almost exclusively those are attacks by PLO terrorists. They weren't acting because of them being islamists, they were acting because they were a terrorist organisation that felt wronged due to the way the Brits left Palestina in the Jewish question.

Harrystottle Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Calling islam responsible for the actions of the dissonants is akin to calling Europe a nationalist state that has expansionist ideas. It isn't, but that is what jihadists call it, as do Russians and, amusingly, some Americans. With the EU making advances towards the Ukraine, Georgia etc whilst those states are simultaneously being offered NATO membership, I can quite understand where the Russians are coming from with that one. Remember a few years ago when missiles were placed in Poland pointing at Russia to deal with "rogue states"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
