Religions...all religions...define a" a good _________" differently. A good catholic obeys the pope. A good muslim obeys the koran. What is needed is more bad muslims who are willing to say "fuck this primitive shit...it's the 21st century."
People rob banks but you can go into banks without going through metal detectors. https://bankrobbers.fbi.gov
What I see is that the governments are using the threat of terrorism to impose an oppressive police state. They spy on everything you do, keep files on everyone, restrict your personal freedoms. They put their boot on hundreds of millions of ordinary people's necks and they might detect four or five potential terrorists in a year. In the meantime they allow the gun runners and dope and illegal alien smugglers to run loose. They do nothing to control the crooks who steal $billions in the financial sector. But if a black kid is walking down the street the cop terrorists will fill him full of lead because "they feared for their lives".
The refugee problem is a real human tragedy but it's caused by Western nations screwing with African and Middle Eastern countries. Iceland and Paraguay don't screw with other people so the only problems they have are their own. We could learn some good manners from them.
One thing is for sure: we will all pay a hefty price for our dummies' arrogance and stupidity.
