There's another way. Open and honest discussion of the causes.

It's not just Islamic theology. I think even our most dedicated islamophobes understand that. An honest appraisal will also reveal Islamic theocracies to be a contributing factor. But it is #notallmuslims :-P so why is it these individuals in particular?


first things first:

of course it's NOT all muslims. but at the same time, it's also blatantly obvious that muslims are vastly overrepresented among the perpetrators of terror attacks against passerby. therefore, the first question we have to answer is: where does this overrepresentation of muslims among terrorists come from?

I think we ought to also point out that I've never heard any public or semi-public condemnation of terrorist acts by Islamic countries. This may be through me not searching for any publications, but I've never seen any talks about it here or in any other place that I have spoken about politics.

I did give an opinion there, and you assuming I didn't is ironically what you'd call GC worthy. I just posted that I find these sorts of reactions that I see everywhere to be memey and full of poop.
If you want my opinion on this terrorist attack, it is just another terror attack. There are bad people on both sides. But I do think that the west and the east don't get along and that we should be in our own places. If they come here to cause havoc, why can't we do the same there? Well, at least our crazies, right?

That is spoken from an eye for an eye perspective, and when it comes to violence I don't think there is any other proper reaction, beyond moral self indulgence.


You gave an opinion on the opinion of others, and just complained about what they said without addressing their ideas.

Wrong on both sides seems to be the standard bullshit internet response these days. I guess it's easier to think that then read some articles or a book.

It's a fact that the vast majority of terrorist acts are carried out by Muslims. Muslims can be of any color, creed or race as Islam is a religion, like many others.

I mean, throughout history there will always be bad people all over the place. I'm overgeneralizing, and at the same time I'm not, but that truth will always be present. I simply made that statement to appease any further atagonistic approaches to the discussion beyond our pard pseudo intellectual conversations.

Sure, I personally haven't read any non-fiction ( aka fiction because of presented perspective and possibly misinformed facts and opinions ) based on current politics, as it isn't my favorite sort of book to read. I mean , no matter what we see in the world we see all the same basic traits repeated throughout history but I don't feel like discussing those as I haven't really refined a huge ideal about that and could be considered naive as to what they may be.

Bullshit internet reponse eh, the internet reflects social and irl responses as well and I haven't really discerned any difference between them expect the differences between textual conversation and spoken. If you have any valuable, non - super long article you think would inform me in so much as making me as informed or as smart as you, go ahead and pm it to me.
