Chas, I was suggesting that the PM of Japan should feel it appropriate to say that the killers of his countryman was a muslim killing in the name of Islam.
So, are all the people killed by Americans in the name of America American terror victims? Or Ukraine? Or China? Or Russia? Is a drone strike on civilians terrorism?
How is ISIS a direct threat to me today here in California? Or a threat to anyone outside of their theater of war?

Perfect, no real worry that some hard ass japanese boots are going to be landing at your doorstep anytime soon...and they have money. When they start demanding ransom for citizens of Barundi and the DRC I'll start to consider other motivations, until then it's all about a dollar. The "Great Satan" routine is just ad copy.

Wow, this has been an education...
Seems that if you say smoking kills, you'll find someone who'll show how smoking saved their life! or if you suggest guns are bad you'll get a 140 page document shoved under your nose showing how guns are good for the world !
My point was, let's be honest, terrorism at present is Islamic terrorism. Let's be honest about it in order to help us deal with it.
Yes my maths was based on "how it feels", so apologies for that, but surely we are on the same side... ?
We have one life that is so precious, so killing someone for any reason is so wrong.

How is ISIS a direct threat to me today here in California? Or a threat to anyone outside of their theater of war? do you believe in democracy? or would you have your daughter dressed in a robe?
How is ISIS a threat to you depends on what you want in life? freedom or religious persecution?
PS if you're about to post a reply and your response is going to be negative, improper, average, odd, obtuse, irrational, an argument, might change the focus, going off at a tangent or just mean ... go and find a maths forum to post on instead, they'll love you !!

"Why on earth am I a "paranoid asshole"?"
It will take someone who is a professional to answer that question. Way above my pay grade.
