ISIS

[parsley]

Put your thoughts about politics aside, rkaiser, and just sit back and think about the tens of thousands who hang on every word Mohammed ever wrote, who we cannot reason with. Nor negotiate with. Nor threaten, because they view dying is a gift. Nor educate, because they they aren't prepared to reason.

It's a cultural phenomena, in 2015, is it not ? pars

[parsley]

Sorry, rkaiser , it should be "most". Spelling error. iPhone correction. pars

[blackpowder]

And if you like shots across the bow rk may I suggest 1000 modern nuclear reactors generating safe ,clean, sustainable electricity to replace some of that morally dirty oil.
Electricity and full cupboards might lead to some revolt behind those burkas. It has everywhere else.

[parsley]

bp, they just can't fit into modern society , can they? Whether it's the scholars who have studied Islam all their lives, or the goat herders who cannot read, it's the same with all of them. Cant be something in the water. Gotta be something in the sand. Olay boys, I could go with genetic modification for this problem.

Did I say that?

What do you get when you take the c and r out of "crisis".

[parsley]

Italy is worried.

Creating a CrISIS

ISIS is not creating a crisis. They have a caliphate to build. And they need territory. Their object is not oil. Not holiday time. Not a week in Vegas.

[Braveheart]

Pars, I did wade through most of it. Scary but enlightening. It speaks to exactly what you've been talking about.

I'm not surprised at the adherence to Sharia, but the references to the Caliphate and the old verses of Islam was surprising. I had envisioned them as mere jihadist thugs. They are much more.

[Braveheart]

Italy should be worried. The Caliphate needs territory. Italy is close.

Those "lone wolf" attacks have implications for us here in Canada. The. Gov't should allow concealed carry permits for us to protect ourselves.

[furrowtickler]

Just buy some pigs and fence off the yard .

[blackpowder]

Isis is what happens when your only allowed to read one book.
Atta boy Brave! Goals are a good thing. Not that I'm a fan of the direct impingement system but we could start with getting the AR15 types off the restricted classification list.

[parsley]

Socialists and communists throughout the world are often apologists for Islam, playing the "root-causes" card as they watch the beheadings.

But this paper perhaps explains why.

Islam demands a sweeping , divine social-welfare program.

"This provision of social welfare was not, he said, a policy choice of the Islamic State, but a policy obligation inherent in God's law"

Pars.

[parsley]

I agree , brave. Italy should be peeing their pants. The caliphate has a set time-frame. And they are desperate to complete their mission. Becoming a martyr helps accomplish their personal goal as well as the caliphate's goal.

Territory. Look at a map and pick a country which is a better alternative.

Looks like a dandy time to market thousands of live pigs to Italy, furrow. pars

[cottonpicken]

Lol lots of good posts and lots of things to get a guy or gal in trouble lol.

Italy should be worried they all use to be blonde haired and blue eyed until the moors came.

Like the kaiser said to the Swiss infratry man what do you think about an army twice your size on your doorstep?

To which he replied shoot twice and go home.

The Swiss are pretty interesting.
