What do you think gives them the right to "unleash the power of the atom" on an entire region? Edit: Sweet jesus I just saw the username, forget it, I dont even want you to respond, the status quo for the soccer forum applies here for me with you and I have no interest in interacting with you.

The older I get the more I think religion is an absolute curse on people's lives and the world. Anyway, don't nuke IS. Get more "boobs on the ground" :rolleyes: and have more female fighter pilots to bomb these neurotic, insecure, dangerous little boys to a heaven that doesn't exist.

kryogen wrote: » They do not hate us all. There are plenty of Muslims condemning the extremist actions. Do you consider yourself to be a racist or a religious bigot? Or both? Do you think you can claim any moral high ground or superiority by simply saying nuke em all? You think your stance of nuke the lot of them, men, women and even children who have done nothing wrong a just one to take? Unfortunately there are lots of people with the same thought process as yourself and it has helped to get us to where we are today. Christians did wrong only in the past is a pretty strange opinion to hold. There is no us against them West vs Islam, there is an us against them in terms of peace loving and co operative and terrorising and division. You do not fall on to the peaceful, co operative side of the equation though going from what you say, you actually have more in common with the intolerant animals that you would like to wipe out,( along with anybody else who happens to be that religion)

Yes, many Muslims would denounce ISIS' acts of brutality but there are different schools of thought in Islam. There are conservative Muslims who while thinking what ISIS are doing is wrong still have some very shady beliefs on things like repression of women, homosexuals, honour killings, apostasy etc. Certainly prejudices and such as these should be scrutinized and criticized as much as possible without holding back for fear of offending Muslims, as these opinions are objectively immoral.

DK man wrote: » It's illogical and dishonest of the leftie liberals who try to attach some sort of randomness to Islamic terror - we who are very critical of Islam are called racist and islamophobic. The random theory - the attempt to argue unconnected relationship with Islam and terror can no longer be presented by anyone with any common sense. We don't have the same random terrorist in Christianity / Judaism / budaism etc. but we do have many connected terrorist groups that are spawned and fed by Islamic thinking and the Koran - Islam is a dangerous ideology that has real potential to destroy the world we live in - we in the civilised world need to stop pandering to Islam and here in Ireland we are facilitating a monolithic mosque to feed more of this rancid pseudo religious / ideology There was so much made about how Britons Islamic community and leaders reacted against the brutal murder of Alan henning - well this seems to imply that all the other brutality carried out by this evil Islamic group was/ is somehow maybe okay or neutral?
