Bourbon St. Attack

That is coming from the base next to my house. One of those is always airborne or on alert supposedly, so I'm not sure how much to read into that.
They are stationed out of Offutt, but can make stops at other bases. Not always airborne. Being over GA isn’t entirely significant though.
 
If we didn't do that, they'd slit our throats. They believe they are in one endless jihad. For all our Muslim lovers, please live in a Muslim country for a year and report back.
My daughter lived in Senegal and said they were the friendliest most kind people she’s ever encountered.

You are being a straight up bigot.
 
You can say WTF you want as well. Your religion is not the singular exception. Religion is consistently used by bad actors to justify repression, suppression, and power grabs.
Sure. But when the linear regression coefficient is like .9999 with other religions, do let me know.

Really if we stayed out of Iraq for instance. You don’t think we wouldn’t have be dealing with fewer jihadist. Or forced Hamas and the Zionist into a workable two state solution.

So the hundreds of millions who aren’t just slitting throats and murdering people are - what - just lazy? 🙄

You’re being ridiculous.
I'm just saying there's a certain proclivity to that religion. Imagine if your daughter was in Afghanistan. Do you think women are valued equally there or the middle east?

The world is an ugly place. The competition for resources always creates friction. Humans always find excuses to kill over differences. Religion is just an excuse.
Don’t think we mollycoddle Muslims. We’re almost always directly or by proxy are bombing them.

Yeah part of the never ending wars that apparently only democrats want to continue while republicans want peace. Lol

Granted, these are the same republicans who will casually talk about genocide as a feasible solution to the Middle East problems.

Biggest military in the world. Biggest economy in the world. Both of which are directly linked. We’re always going to get sucked into things at least indirectly.
The spice must flow.

Absolutely not.

And my theory is that - especially in the post-Judaism abrahamic religions - they tend to moderate and get less bloodthirsty over time as any “new” religion is going to cause conflict. Islam being the “youngest” is still often problematic from a conflict standpoint.

That said HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of Muslims live peaceful, productive lives in dozens of countries across the entire globe so blaming an entire religion for being the source of all war is wildly disengenuous.
 
I've had the pleasure to be on one two times many years ago. The picture looks like it's had some upgrades or is new since I was on it.

When they get chill, please let me know. They aren't chill yet. You're right many Muslims are peaceful. The problem is plenty aren't and they are being radicalized based on inherent tenets in their religion. That's the problem.
 
It doesn't sound like Islam, it sounds like he was a f*** up in life, and was vulnerable to recruitment and radicalization.
It's a classic tactic. The IRA did it. Every terrorist organization does it.

B I N G O

Cannot believe how difficult this is for people to understand.
Cute posts. So who recruited and radicalized him if it wasn't someone or some organization related to radical Islam? Sesame street?
 
The focus for all individuals who commit these awful crimes are x,y,z. Doesn’t matter black, white, brown, dem, repub, Muslim or not someone or somebody will make it a political talking point
That's what despicable politicians and demagogues do. Speaking of which...

The whole Muslim / Islam thing here is my take:

1) In this current period of history, the religion of Islam is being most corrupted and used by evil people to commit atrocities for said evil people’s monetary gain so therefore it is hard to ignore the fact that much more terrorism is happening right now by people in the name of Islam

2) The people behind this abuse of the religion and using it to become authoritarian despots are not really any different than Putin or Hitler or Mao or insert barbaric self enriching ruler. Look no further than the people with hezbollah or Hamas enriching themselves. Or despots like Hussein or Assad or Gaddafi or Khamenei or the rest of those bastards in their opulent riches with the people surrounding them.
 
He has tended that way over the years.
Maybe a good guy in other ways, but he is a bigot for sure. I love it when he labels Pakistanis as cockroaches.
Like comedian Hasan Minhaj said in one of his bits, Asian/Indians are better at racism than us white/Europeans are.
I couldn’t find the exact bit, but here’s some of his stuff. He’s funny and helps shed some light on why our friend may be the way he is.

So you are that nuts to think these guys are being trained to be a skilled attack force. Is that what you are saying?
It took 19 Saudis to commit the worst terrorist attack on US soil...
Everytime I count there, it falls far short of 30K.
Where did you find that number?
60 Minutes. Watch it sometime and learn...

Last year, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 37,000 Chinese citizens were apprehended crossing illegally from Mexico into the U.S.…that's 50 times more than two years earlier.

Good take, but there's another element to it...

There's a struggle for power within Islam. Which makes things extra explosive.

Hasan Minhaj huh? The guy who lost the daily show hosting gig for being a liar. That guy? Cute.
