Paris

[Scion7]

They want much more than that.  ISIS is an organized, terrorist "state" that wants to conquer territory and set up an extreme Islamist caliphate.  They want REVENGE for any attacks on them - the killings in Paris were just that.  "Sowing fear" is really not their intent.  We're talking about a criminal organization that is well-funded and lead by people that are literally mentally disturbed.
They will have to be stopped with military force.  There won't be any reasoning with them.

[Florestan]

BTW: which European country had this year alone commercial exchanges billions of Euros worth with Saudi Arabia, the main sponsor of ISIS and of islamic terrorism in general? Hint: the same country which conducted in Yemen joint military operations with the Saudi army. More hint: its flag is blue-white-red.

The only solution is to double our efforts to bring in even more "refugees". Isn't this how it works?

Meanwhile, campuses all over America are marching in protest against the imaginary oppression of privileged, cobbled crybabies, while the push for normalizing pedophilia is already starting.

The west is dead. Gone. Done for. It has ceased to be. It is no more. It has expired and gone to meet its maker.

What the hell are you talking about? Did someone hit you in the head?

No, I meant this:

Even I, who deplore whiny crybabies, don't see this as realistic!

all those who say the contrary are dangerous ideologists.

That is classic.

Europe has to proclaim officially that it is an essentially Christian zone, because this is our culture, our history, our common identity. Saving European culture, including the arts, including classical music, including literature (all things Muslims want to burn and destroy) also means defending our religion against its enemies, against Islam and its accomplices (I'm thinking about pro-muslim atheists). Thank god there are places like this board to still defend Western culture (wich essentially means historically European culture), but these are the last true places of freedom, where we are not first forced to bow in front of Allah and of his soldiers.

Really? Muslims want that, all of them? I suppose you haven't considered that encouraging this mindless hatred of people solely because of their race and creed might lead to a larger percentage of Muslims being attracted by the terrorists' propaganda painting the West as an enemy which must be fought against. And if you honestly think that all Muslims want to destroy arts, classical music and literature, then I suppose you think the archaeologist Khaled al-Asaad was not a Muslim, nor was Rumi, the Persian 13th c. poet who has been among the most popular poets in the US for decades, or Ferdowsi the author the Shahnameh - or any number of Muslim scholars who saved and studied the literature of the Antique when much of it was lost in the post-Roman Empire Europe.
But hey, I am just the dangerous ideologist who doesn't think a war between Christians and Muslims, and their atheist supporters, would be a good idea.

I think Purusha thinks it is imperative that that kind of people are shipped back to where they came from if we are to try to make the West's decline at least a bit slower.

Been out of the loop lately? Unaware of what's going on in university campuses?



Step aside Paris, we have real oppression to worry about:

Yes, this member seems hellbent on just making posts that are to provoke animosity and, in almost all cases, it's animosity for it's own sake.

Thread duty:

I have no bone to pick with anyone here about politics or religion as these kinds of discussions so often leave people with a bad taste in their mouths but what happened in Paris is a tragedy and everything should be done to stop such an attack from happening again. These enemies simply need to be hunted down and brought to justice.

1% of college students and one misbegotten wienie waver don't constitute a trend. If being in touch with what goes on in the playgrounds known as college campuses constitutes 'being in the loop', then no, I prefer to wait for the adults to emerge from the chrysalis.

You are getting bold enough to risk exposure, Opie. You never could learn to keep your head down. Pity...

[Purusha]

nor was Rumi, the Persian 13th c. poet who has been among the most popular poets in the US for decades

Mostly read by people who don't understand a single word of his works.

Wait, so your idea of "privileged, cobbled crybabies" is a racial minority complaining about racism?

[Purusha]

Same way a few dead Frenchmen and a bunch of rapes don't constitute a trend.

The children are actually bullying the adults:

About racism that exists only in their heads, by rich kids attending a prestigious university who have never experienced a single ounce of hardship in their entire existence.

1. Somebody smeared a swastika on the wall using shit.
2. How do you know they're rich? In the USA, black people attending public schools are usually not rich.
3. ...and they've usually experienced a lot of hardship and racism.

I'm not sure he knows a hawk from a handsaw.

University of Missouri may be nice as can be, but it is a simple state university. The state where there has been significant racial violence in recent times which actually was quite well justified. Perhaps that tends to make people a bit quicker to react. Anyway, we all know the end is near, nearer for some, perhaps...

No no, what we should do is bomb their countries even more and than open our borders even wider.
