i don't think Atlass is a "douchebag". I do think he like most are stuck in the myths of antiquity. I worry less about Atlass than I do OLB and Alpha Male.

Religion and weapons is like a Reese's Peanut butter cup, some are not addicted to sugar, like a kid bouncing off the walls the morning after Halloween, but sure, far too many are on that sugar high.

But Atlass, nor Christians or Jews or Buddhists or Hindus or even atheists, none of us own a patent on morality. Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in us.

But do you ever put the possibility of "Islamophobia" existing for real?

Of course it exists. You brought it on yourselves.




There really aren't enough muslims in the US for anyone to take notice until then.  Then, we noticed.

"Islamic Extremism" is a very loose accusation, that doesn't give "arrested terrorist" a chance of rehab or focused mental studying of the criminal: unlike the "left and right" criminals. I'm sure that if America fixed its foreign policy and withdrew from Afghanistan + cut its support to regimes like the Sauds; Islamist violence would drop to half or maybe even less.

Who do you think you’re fooling? Islamist violence would drop to half or less? You’d still have Arabs and Persians killing each other for regional dominance (not to mention your centuries-long spat over who the True Heirs of Islam are, thanks to your fucking prophet’s lack of foresight and clarity concerning succession).

Maybe someday the ME will have something to offer the world besides oil, arms purchases, and violent extremism, but first you’ll have to grow up and let go of the fairy tales that fertilize your soil and souls like the bullshit it is.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s likely, either.
