I find it very objectionable when certain groups try to normalise Islamic terrorism, or try to downplay links between Islamism and terrorism in modern western countries. Like, "you're more likely to die from (insert inane comparison here) than terrorism", so why are we worrying about it?
The various terrorist groups have been very transparent with their plan to take the war to their enemies:
- Breed, a lot.
- Recruit people in their own countries to blow up, harm and kill others.
- Let the populace mistreat, tease, speak ill and commit retaliatory acts against the local Muslim population living there.
- Recruit the people and families harmed in step 3.
- Repeat.
I find it objectionable when certain groups insist on doing EXACTLY what the terrorists want us to do.
The religious element is just one tool in their toolbox, albeit a very effective one.
NO.
This is where westerners have been deceived. America thinks they're fighting Isis. well firstly they created them. by destabilizing the region.
Guess where Isis gets their money and weapons from - not from thin air. from the oil they sell (eventually) to westerners, the weapons they get from Saudi (who bought them from America).
And nobody cares. In fact Trump is selling more weapons to Saudi to "fight isis". Saudi is not going to "fight isis". Lol, the weapons will arm isis.
So the bottom line is - the more Westerners try to "fight" isis with western mcdonalds fast food means, they are building them. Go on, try more, Build walls, isolate non white youths, segregate communities, sell weapons, make deals with Saudi and Turkey, etc, that is just what makes isis even stronger.
