This is not about poverty or christians, or politics or racism or any of the other dodges. Right now, I feel like I need to lump the apologists in with Isis.
There are always apologists for this nonsense. It grates when I see "yeah but if we hadn't bombed [insert anywhere in the world] this wouldn't happen.
Bullshit apologist rhetoric.
I'm quitting this thread. What should have been about an attoricity committed against young girls and families at a pop concert has turned into a fuckfest over who can one-up on the 'it's not just Islam' scale. Yeah, we get it. Doesn't change the fact that in Western Europe you have a very vocal and powerful extremist minority that infects communities and preys on young, often poorly educated and idealistic young men and women within Islamic communities and which is very successful in indoctrinating them to an extremist cause. It exists, but all too often people bury their head in the sand and what we're left with is young girls missing arms and heads in a pop concert and people looking at each other surprised when it happens, again and again.
More people need to take their time to review sites like Quilliam, an Islamic based secular progressive think tank that is often targeted for calling out how it is in British inner city Islamic communities.
