A âwar on terrorâ is a fallacy. Itâs all about control and money.

What the fuck have Belgium done to annoy these fuckers?
McCannâs article is largely based on this article which I read over the last couple of days (note: it will take you well over an hour to read it and understand it properly).
There is no doubt that heâs right. Religion is at the core of ISIS is doing and to gloss over that is idiotic. I understand why you have politicians saying that âthis has nothing to do with Islamâ and that âISIS are the antithesis of Islam, which is a religion of peaceâ and all that, but itâs clearly utter nonsense, and if they believe that, theyâre fooling themselves.
Clearly there are other major contributory reasons why Muslims are travelling to join ISIS or shooting innocent people in Europe, ie, the constant meddling in the Middle East by the West, but religion* is* one of the core ones.
The problem with Islam is that for all Muslims, the words of the Koran cannot be challenged as they are âperfectâ. They can only be interpreted. And interpretation is subjective, there is no right or wrong. So ISISâs interpretation, from a purely religious point of view, is no less valid than that of a Muslim who believes the words of the Koran implore them to be peaceful. But some of the stuff in that article I linked to is just laugh out loud hilarious.
Religious insanity is far from exclusive to Muslims. Itâs why you have Israeli settlers calling themselves âthe chosen peopleâ, and at least a contributory factor in the thinking behind why the Iraq War was waged. The bottom line is that itâs utterly mental for people to be reading 1,500 or 2,000 year old books and thinking they have any validity or any relevance to anything.
The Bible has some pretty mental things in it too. Youâll get the apologists saying âoh, but there was a reformation and an enlightenmentâ and nobody takes it seriously. Well, why is still so ubiquitous a cultural reference point in Western societies, when itâs such a pile of shit?

Many mainstream Muslim organizations have gone so far as to say the Islamic State is, in fact, un-Islamic. It is, of course, reassuring to know that the vast majority of Muslims have zero interest in replacing Hollywood movies with public executions as evening entertainment. But Muslims who call the Islamic State un-Islamic are typically, as the Princeton scholar Bernard Haykel, the leading expert on the groupâs theology, told me, âembarrassed and politically correct, with a cotton-candy view of their own religionâ that neglects âwhat their religion has historically and legally required.â Many denials of the Islamic Stateâs religious nature, he said, are rooted in an âinterfaith-Christian-nonsense tradition.â
Every academic I asked about the Islamic Stateâs ideology sent me to Haykel. Of partial Lebanese descent, Haykel grew up in Lebanon and the United States, and when he talks through his Mephistophelian goatee, there is a hint of an unplaceable foreign accent.
According to Haykel, the ranks of the Islamic State are deeply infused with religious vigor. Koranic quotations are ubiquitous. âEven the foot soldiers spout this stuff constantly,â Haykel said. âThey mug for their cameras and repeat their basic doctrines in formulaic fashion, and they do it all the time.â He regards the claim that the Islamic State has distorted the texts of Islam as preposterous, sustainable only through willful ignorance. âPeople want to absolve Islam,â he said. âItâs this âIslam is a religion of peaceâ mantra. As if there is such a thing as âIslamâ! Itâs what Muslims do, and how they interpret their texts.â Those texts are shared by all Sunni Muslims, not just the Islamic State. âAnd these guys have just as much legitimacy as anyone else.â
Sure weâll run with that so.
Gave them homes.
gave them asylum
Those shouting loudest on here that Muslims are getting blackguarded by all and sundry because they are in essence decent peaceful skins are the exact same patriots who guffaw at the Catholic church and those who find solace from Catholicism.
I get the feeling that if the whole planet turned on Catholics then it would be cool again amongst the minority chasers to stand up for them and fight for their right to do the funny little stuff Catholics do.
Standing up for Muslims in the current environment is not funny and bloody reckless.
Survival of greater humanity is priority here. Looks like Muslims donât agree. So itâs up to those a la carte Muslims to fight their own cause.
Come back to us when he have your shut sorted lads but for the moment Iâd like to raise my off spring and for them to do likewise in an environment that doesnât resemble the apocalypse, if ye donât mind.

âDonald J. Trump, who earlier in the week said he was open to requiring Muslims in the United States to register in a database, said on ThursdayâŚhe âwould certainly implement that â absolutely.ââŚAsked laterâŚhow such a database would be different from Jews having to register in Nazi Germany, Mr. Trump repeatedly said, âYou tell me,â until he stopped responding to the question.â

The vast majority of them are decent, peaceful skins.
The vast majority of people of any religion are decent, peaceful skins, even if what they believe in and practice with regard to their religion, is utter, utter nonsense.

Farm hands from Ireland brought the brits to their knees.
With a bit of effort Bray Wanderers would beat ISIS.
