Guest Peeves Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Turkey attacks Syria. Syria murders citizens. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt. etc. etc. Damn those Jews! When will Islam that sows inherit the whirlwind? Is the USA and the Jews, the West still responsible for 1400 years of Islamic violence? I'm tired of the Islamist news, apologists, domination of daily news and topics. Surely some of the violence is self perpetuating by the sectarian and political makeup of Islam? Strangely, When I was a young boy the Nazis were enemies,Japanese,Italians. Then it was Russians and Cuba,North Koreans and then China. It was nice in my childhood when it was just enemy Martians. Why can't we just get along? Anyhow. Will this media and world attention to Islamic matters ever cease? Ya think? Muslim spring and honor killings and bombings and all that jazz is becoming very vexing. Give me a break. I want our old enemies.We knew who where and what they were. They even wore uniforms so we could pick them out. They marched funny. They saluted funny. They had a code of ethics when it suited them. Well not the Japs. Truly it's getting so I can't enjoy a cuppa without another Islam news flash. Turkey is a NATO ally. If they continue to be attacked, we will (hallelujah!)have an excuse to invade! Finally Don't you get sick of hearing about our war on terror but no defining as to just who todays enemy is? are? maybe? Edited October 7, 2012 by Peeves Quote
Topaz Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 I remember reading shortly after 9/11 a article that said the enemy- the communists, is being replace by "terrorist" as the enemy. So anyone against the free world is a terrorist. The Syria mess, both US and Canada are giving aid to the rebels and then Canada also send medical aid to the people who are hurt, its a horror circle and its the people of those countries who suffer the most. What interest does Canada have there. Oil? I don't think so. Quote

Anyone against Western values is of concern.Anyone against the free world might be a dictator, but not in any necessity a terrorist. Who and what is/are terrorists is pretty easy to define, they act to terrorize someone. Being against the free world does not equate to terrorism. Quote
Argus Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 The Islamic world seems to be obsessed with violence and hatred, usually of anyone who isn't a Muslim, but often enough, if they can't find a non-Muslim cause to inspire their hatred they'll direct their hate at different sects of Islam. It's really quite remarkable why they seem to be so obsessed with hating people who don't believe exactly as they do and thus don't act exactly as they do. The fact a home made movie hardly anyone has seen can put hundreds of thousands into the streets, killing and burning, that some guy putting up something on his Facebook page can draws tens of thousands into attacking and killing and burning is just something beyond my understanding. There was an interesting piece in the Post today regarding Malaysia, and it's deep and abiding hatred for Jews and Israel. Malaysia is thousands of miles away from Israel and has never had anything to do with Israel. There are no Jews in Malaysia, all having fled long ago. Nevertheless, Malaysia despises Jews, very overtly and officially, and has for decades. Why? I guess they just needed someone to hate who wasn't too close to them. Maybe the government feels free to direct all that Muslim hatred elsewhere. In Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, politicians and civil servants devote a surprising amount of time to thinking about Israel, 7,612 km away. Sometimes they appear to be obsessed by it. Malaysia has never had a dispute with Israel, but the government encourages the citizens to hate Israel and also to hate Jews whether they are Israelis or not. Anti-Semitism without Jews in Malaysia Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
GostHacked Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 You cannot defeat terrorism. It's an idology and a method of violence that has no defined borders, no defined group, no defined entity. Also the dynamics of terrorism are constantly changing, making it difficult to even define let alone defeat. What also make defeating terrorism more problematic is when our leaders support terrorism against other countries like we are seeing in Syria, and like we have seen in Libya and Egypt. Supporting entities like Al-Queda to defeat the Soviets can sometimes have severe consequences. We cannot talk about terrorism without talking about how our leaders support terrorism as well. Quote

"What also make defeating terrorism more problematic is when our leaders support terrorism against other countries like we are seeing in Syria, and like we have seen in Libya and Egypt." Wow! " Our leaders are supporting terrorism against Syria... WOW. Could you perhaps tell us just how and which? Seems to me the terrorists are running the country, the citizens are revolting against oppression and Syria is even attacking Turkey. What's your version? Edited October 10, 2012 by Peeves Quote

Seems to me the terrorists are running the country, the citizens are revolting against oppression and Syria is even attacking Turkey. What's your version? It's the difference between 'freedom fighter' and 'terrorist'. Both terms can be used, it just depends what side of the fence you find yourself on. Also why would the rebels be attacking Turkey as well? Something does not seem right there. http://www.cbsnews.c...yria-civil-war/ Russia's President didn't say it in so many words, but he implied that America, the West, and their allies in the Middle East are backing violent Islamic extremists in Syria to bring down Bashar Assad in a policy blunder that's bound to fail. There is a grain of truth here. Some al Qaeda fighters, or at least some militants claiming to be al Qaeda, have joined the armed Syrian rebel groups on the ground, and at least some of those men would be eager to establish a fundamentalist Islamic state in Syria after Assad. It was admitted and documented that we saw British special forces in Libya giving aide to the rebels, and again, there were worries of Al-Queda among the rebels. We complain Iran is supporting Assad, while we lend support to the rebels in some fashion not publicly known. These are termed 'covert operations' as we have seen exactly that kind of stuff IN Iran. Stuxmet, national guard facilities and explosions ect. We have helped destablize Libya for example. Gadaffi was a threat to the west only in terms of creating another oil trading market. Here I thought competition would be good which would help drive down the price of oil due to competition. Libya is now in shambles because of that. We know now that it was not due to any humanitarian crisis in Libya before Gadaffi's downfall. Libya is now in turmoil like the Libyans have never seen before. All thanks to the works of our leaders and military. It's shameful and hypocritical. it's all smoke and mirrors to create a new enemy with this war on terror. If you want something conventional in terms of an enemy, maybe pick on Russia or China perhaps. Edited October 9, 2012 by GostHacked Quote
