You can't be stupid and free.
The point is, someone has to rule the Islamic world. And I'd rather have someone rule it that's on my side.
This is why no person, even a Muslim, has it good under Sharia Law. It is unnatural and backwards. If you disagree, try it out for yourself.
Something in Islam does not allow it to integrate into the 21st century, which all other religions have already done.
He wanted to be a man that he was not. He played a card he never had to try to show off his balls, which he ultimately lost.
Blowbacks are bound to happen, but they are gonna hurt the Iranians more.
When Christianity was radical, it wasn't during a time where it could wipe out masses easily, because the ability to do was not there.
Please stop blaming western imperialism for the troubles that Islam has. Islam far predates imperialism and America. Islam had these problems before, and it has no one to blame but itself.
You do not negotiate with those people, you either stay away from them, or, if they give you trouble, get rid of them.
Might makes right.
See, the problem with the West nowadays is that it has forgotten the idea of "the enemy". Some think that these are just poor folks trying to defend their homeland. They are in fact a lot more than that. They are people who wish to exterminate my way of life. But the West has become too sluggish
and too mild to see the reality before its eyes. It's easier to water down the threat and pretend we're the problem.
I am willing to take the chance and favor and bet on the side of the most advanced and liberal civilization ever to exist on this planet. I blame the problems on Islam and the Middle East, because it's they who got themselves in the mess that they are in.
I'm not saying this is how it should be. I'm saying this is how it is.
