ISIS wants those people back in Syria, so that they can be radicalized and incorporated into their army, as well as used as human shields against air-strikes.

Especially middle eastern ones, after all the fearmongering about muslim terrorism. Yes there are muslim terrorists, but the most dangerous terrorist groups in our country aren't muslim. Why do you think the refugees are enemy soldiers?

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Some of those I was familiar with, others I was not. I still would not say any of those are more dangerous than Muslim terrorist groups though. 9/11 killed so many people, and there have been attacks by Islamist extremists here in just the past year.

But none of them as big as 9/11. That was a horrible event, but they haven't been able to replicate it. I'm more worried about being corrupted from within, than being destroyed from without.

The bill might come due in 75 years but it will come due and have to be paid. It's popular to regard the enemy as terrorists instead of enemy troops who are fighting for their political objectives. At the same time we claim that we are at war. And we use the military to fight it. In the case of this particular enemy, which is based on religious beliefs, they can garner financial support from the whole religious community. So if all believers contribute just a dollar a month they will have billions of dollars each month to wage the fight. Everyone is a soldier in wartime even if he doesn't wear a uniform. So if they aren't on our side they are on the enemy's side. (November 17, 2015 at 12:42 am)Chad32 Wrote: But none of them as big as 9/11.

Soon we will be more repressive than East Germany was. |
