ROBERT A. PAPE: The End of Fear, The Beginning of Understanding

[ChumpDumper]

Do you think most American Muslims personally know terrorists?

[Yonivore]

No, I don't think they should be commended. I just don't think they should be feared either, as you and your people keep insisting they should.

I don't fear non-radicalized Muslims. But, I don't see how people fearing them -- if, in fact, that's true -- or their passive act of not radicalizing, get's them similar status to people who are actually defending our country against attacks by radicalized Muslims -- such as their co-religionists that are actually , actively participating in identifying and eliminating threats. A group you and the author fail to mention.

That's my point.

You have been proven wrong about the inherent extremism of American Muslims for the last ten years and now you're butthurt about it. If you were justified in your su ions about American Muslims, we would have suffered significantly more attacks since 9/11 than we have had. So you keep harping on the isolated Ft. Hood incident as if it's symptomatic of a much larger problem. It's pathetic.

Since September 11, 2001, there have been over 25 acts of violence perpetrated by Islamic radicals -- based on their radical beliefs or in a spirit of jihad -- resulting in 55 deaths, and 57 injuries.

Doesn't count the thwarted attacks or Americans killed abroad by terrorists.

Wait a minute. I let this pass.

No, I don't think they should be commended.

This surprising record has been attributed to excellent work by the FBI, CIA, and other law enforcement agencies, the war in Afghanistan, and the Bush administration's aggressive treatment of suspected terrorists. But on the list of those deserving credit, the first is a group hardly anyone would have predicted: American Muslims.

The whole conversation has principally been about the article commending Muslims that didn't radicalize.

[ElNono]

Because those who don't rob banks are different than those who turn their bank robbing friends in to the police.

Okay, and?

You say that as if it's some great sacrifice for a Muslim to not radicalize.

I didn't say that at all. If that's how your spin machine want to interpret it, then that's your problem. I'm grateful for many things, including the vast majority of people not being extremists, be it in politics or religion.

Do you know how many Muslims Americans are there?

Aren't you glad they're not all radicalized?

I don't see how that has anything to do with the conversation. Are you suggesting is some great feat for them not to be radicalized?

It's certainly an option they didn't take. Credit to them for that.

Not a single mention of the MIC's secret SOCOM murderers garrisoning the planet? the MIC has quit catching, imprisoning, torturing and started simply murdering (and of course they never murder the wrong person, never any collateral murders). SOCOM is creating the terrorists to keep itself in eternal business.


How many secret wars are we fighting?

U.S. special ops forces are being deployed in more and more nations -- and the public has no idea

EWS for nuclear/chemical threats tbh.

Early warning?

US military invading a country to murder is an act of war.

Turn it around.

MX, BO, VZ sends in legit "tourists" who are MX military/black ops sent in to murder supposed drug dealers and their families, or political dissidents in exile. Several Americans also get murdered. No big deal, right?

Every country's military has the right to invade secretly any other country, right?

Well, not exactly. Foreign nationals invaded USA to hijack "planes into buildings", and 10 years later, USA still isn't satiated with the blood the it has spilt in revenge.

or is somehow the US exceptional, with more rights than other countries?

You can be sure SOCOM's murders are known by the Muslims and who will be inflamed to more terrorism. SOCOM's murders are excellent "stimulus" for the MIC's All War All The Time Everywhere business plan.
