Subtlety has never been a strong point of mine.
I personally think not; I personally think you asked because :
1-I'm a Muslim
2-I allowed my mind to extend and question the forces that cause "real" wars in the world; you know, forces that invade countries like Iraq & Libya, open military bases in every possible country, forces that use drones to bomb 24/7.
And that's okay. They programmed you to be like that; and you just followed. See the hate crimes against Muslims (and hate crimes in general); most of them start like that. By a person who "didn't understand".
It's not about being subtle, but it's about logic. I'm questioning your "employer" who sent you to Iraq for a lie (weren't you in the army and served in Iraq ?). The W.M.Ds weren't found and that's a fact. All those people dead, for a lie. So, I have every reason to question the France incident.
I'm not defending ISIS by that, or "sympathizing" with terrorism, but I learned from Iraq's invasion that MSM-Official reports-eye witnesses can actually be orchestrated to produce a lie (WMD anyone ?). And to be truthful ? your past employer proved a brutality in war, that matches ISIS ; see the drone attacks or pictures of "Abu Ghuraib".
I just try to look through those poor lives wasted, to see the truth. Because obviously; the lies of your previous employer aren't that convincing anymore (to me at least).
Being accused of being brainwashed by a Muslim.......fuck me, the world has gone mental. For your information, I left the British army because I was against pretty much every reason they used for us being sent to the places we were. I saw friends and local civilians die and suffer in ways I care not to repeat. Soldiers do as they're told, when they're told, end of story.
I asked your opinion because I was truly interested and absolutely because you are a Muslim, 100% right. I make no apology for it either. Truth is, no matter the conflict, there is always someone else to blame, dependent on the conflict in question.
You bring up the Iraq war, maybe because you're talking to me, that's fine, but don't forget that France didn't take any part, they were against the invasion, so in terms of this attack in Paris, it is an irrelevance.
