Trump's ban on Muslims

[Wyrd of Gawd]

I think ISIS should be more fearful of us than we should be of them.

Here's the thing though. Destroying what they call their state doesn't make them any less dangerous. It doesn't take a state to launch a terrorist attack.

I can't believe people still think in military terms when it comes to terror. A conventional army ain't worth shit when it comes to terror. And by the way, if they really want to smuggle someone into the states, they won't do it on passports or visas from any of the incriminated states.

I think 17 of the 19 9/11 terrorists came from the good friend Saudi Arabia. A country that's still totally exempt, but the cradle of the violent interpretation of Islam ISIL adhers to. Speaking of the most dangerous countries. Iran on the other hand is Shia. There hasn't been a single shiite attack on the West. On the contrary, they're fighting ISIL.

The US, Europe, Israel, and the Gulf States created the terrorist groups.  They funded them, gave them arms and supplies, and manpower.  They continue doing it at this vey minute.  And because they did all of that they are directly responsible for the millions of people who have been displaced and for all of the havoc in the area.  

We are now fighting the monster that we created and continue to feed.   It gives everyone something to do.

If someone can be radicalized by not being able to go to the United States for a few months, then maybe it's best we don't let them into the United States ever.

That doesn't even make sense.  People aren't going to be radicalized because they can't come in.  ISIS will use the ban as recruiting material to demonstrate their claims that the U.S. is attacking Islam.

Trump's so dumb that he may as well just be making propaganda for them.

It pays to remember that radicalization works both ways.  For every terrorist action that takes place here more people become radicalized against the muslims because of the way the issue is framed.  Years ago someone expressed the idea that we should simply nuke a lot of the large muslim cities in response to terrorist attacks.  At some point even the casual observer might start to think that's a good idea.  

Our arsenal is massive and it includes all sorts of weapons, from nukes to gas to germs and drugs.  Remember the bath salts cases from a few years ago?  Imagine the effect something like that would have on city or nation with thousands or millions of people affected at the same time.  

We have the best propaganda in the world but don't ever think that we aren't the meanest SOBs on the planet.  Our favorite pastime in WWII was burning people alive.
