"Islamic Extremeist Terrorist", or, Just 'Terrorist'?

[GameNation]

From what I know of the government and media, we have no problem tacking on the word Islamic to the other word Terrorist. Muslims in general are not terrorists by nature, as every american citizen seems to think so, and we need to understand that the people who blow themselves up at airports or public areas are not doing it because they love Allah. They're doing it because they think it's necessary to cause terror in exchange for change, and they're using Allah as a front.

They seem to think that doing so will get the 72 virgins (virginians?) in the afterlife. The folks that are prompting them to do such idiotic things are perverting their religion to further their OWN ideals. What bothers most americans (and no, we do not assume that ALL muslims are terrorists) is that the moderate muslims are awfully quiet about someone perverting their religion to such ends. The silence, is deafening. It tends to lend the picture of consent, by lack of objection.

How about dropping the meaningless propaganda of designating some criminals "terrorists" and just let it be enough that they are criminals?

Its more about their methods, than the fact that they are simply killers. Not, in the end, that I think it makes any difference to the victims, they are just as dead either way. Besides, it gives the government a nice buzz-word to scare the populace with.

I could get drunk and run you over with my horse-drawn cart.

Or I could grab one of the bazzillion iron daggers Ive crafted and carve you like a starving servant of Namira.

Or I could wait for your family Reunion and Fus-Ro-Dah you all to Sovngarde.

 

Is it "meaningless propaganda" to classify these different levels of killing?

Coming from Europe, more specific Denmark, I see no "no goe zones". I agree with GameNation, that terrorists are some bullyes that have hijacked the name of Allah, to serve their cause.

They don´t get 72 virgins by the way, but only one 72 years of age...:)

I just gave my own answer to the OP who was asking for the opinion of Europeans, OP can either read it or dismiss it.

 

 

The OP read it, did not dismiss it, but, still doesn't know quite what to think. :smile:

 

I just know that Islamic extremist are becoming a huge problem throughout the world, and, that we shouldn't get hung-up on semantic technicalities....I don't give a damn what flavor of religion(s) have been corrupted in self-righteous indignity, It's the corrupters that are the enemy, not the religion....as has been the case throughout history.

 

Right now, at this moment in our history, it is Islamic extremist.....Period.

 

 

 

 

You dont get out much or are heavily influenced by your propaganda spewing media if that is your conclusion. Then again we in the West can very easily point and label others while clearly dismissing the real culprits and "terrorists".

@baluga101

Just wondering who destroyed Palmyra and with it 2000 years of cultural heritage.....Extremist Islamic Terrorists or western media?

BTW this is an ISIS supplied photo. They evidently seem to be proud of their barbarity.

I could have just as easily shown their pictures of the genocidal pogroms that they take such pride in.

 

If it walks like duck and quacks like a duck....It's a duck.

Read the whole thread and this is what I see; posts from Westerners who do not live under or have ever been subjected to Muslim rule.

 

This is s dose of life under Muslim rule; you are a respectable person in your community but because you are not Muslim you are human trash. The lowest scum bag you know in RL is better than you are simply because he is Muslim. That is how they view the world when they are in control. That is how they secretly view the world in areas where they are not in control. They may keep their mouths shut but their arrogant attitudes still prevail. Even in America when dealing with Muslims they have a sense of superiority, like the non-Muslims they are speaking to are stupid or subservient.

 

Muslims only understand one thing; they are right and you are wrong, and they are willing to enslave or kill you to prove it. I'm from the Sudan so I know what I'm talking about. The only good non-Muslim is a dead one.
