I singled out the fridge example because that was the part that was ridiculous to me, and the part I wanted to comment on. It best illustrated the ridiculous way some people try to diminish the very real threat islamic extremists pose. Then you just completely ignored it, which I can't say I blame you for because I can't think of how you'd defend that. As for the rest of what you said, it's all kind of rambly. I can't really address all of it, because I'm not entirely sure what all of it means, but I'll address a few points.
"THey are also ready and able to all those things including nukes and more. "Radical Christian" terrorists are also quietly increasing their resources and danger level cause no one pays attention to them. You'll have to support this with some kind of evidence. So far as I know, there is thankfully no group that is actually ready to commit a nuclear strike, Christian or Islamic. As for motivation though, there are many islamic groups that have made it their expressed goal to kill as many western civilians as possible. We also know that ISIS had a nuclear scientist in Belgium and his family under surveillance. Al Queda claimed it was the religious duty of muslims to work towards attaining a nuclear weapon, and had met with nuclear physicists in Pakistan. There is really no rational motivation for Christian terrorists to detonate a nuclear device in a Christian majority nation. While there may be some insane christians with nuclear ambitions, there is no organized and well funded Christian group that has made murdering civilians a specific goal. I'm actually strongly opposed to christian extremism, (and religion in general) but I am not aware of any christian group that poses the same level of threat by any stretch of the imagination. "Why don't you deal with more imminent, growing and bigger dangers than "Radical Islamic" terrorists before looking suspiciously at more than a billion people." Why don't you rationally defend your position instead of accusing anyone who acknowledges that radical islam (no quotation marks, this is a real thing) is a threat of being islamaphobic? I didn't say or imply in any way that we should be suspicious of every muslim. I did specifically say we should be taking in muslim refugees. But don't let what I actually said get in your way. "You look at outside threats like there are no threats in your own home." Nope. I didn't say anything like this. The media and the right have made you perceive these middle eastern assholes and dumbasses as more dangerous than other threats when it is statistically and logically and factually not that much of a danger to beigin with. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Are you an expert in nuclear security? No? Didn't think so. So I don't know how you came up with these statistics. But, there ARE people who actually are experts in these fields. These experts, on average, believe the risk to be around 30% of a nuclear attack occuring in a major US city per 10 years (albeit most of the data I found was from 2005-2010 so the numbers may have changed). Barack Obama has said that the threat of a nuclear terrorist attack keeps him awake at night. Forme UN Secretary General Kofe Annan has warned of the damage that can be caused by a nuclear attack in Manhattan or Washington DC. So maybe you don't think it's not much of a danger, but a lot of people who know a lot more than you about this think that it is. http://www.belfercenter.org/sites/default/files/legacy/files/bunn-nuclear-terror-risk-test-08.pdf Oh, and this is just referring to the danger of a nuclear attack. Of course, the risk of a major non-nuclear attack is far higher. Daesh is a joke which would be quickly dealt with if USA, Russia and others left their politics at home. Ask the people of Syria how funny this joke is. |
I wrote a really detailed answer to your question but the beauty of Vgchartz it crashed. But the point that I remember now is that USA does not want the middle eastern problem to end. It is secretly letting it carry on. It needs an enemy and has basically had a hand in creating the three major middle eastern and afghani terrorists among others. If it wanted Daesh would be child's play for USA. Also the terrorists are elite rulers manipulating deranged idiots to kill indiscriminately. They want power, money and land and are not doing it for anyone's religion or for any belief. If you acurately want to describe these loonies call them Middle Eastern terrorists not "Radical Islamic" terrorists. If the middle east was mainly christian they'd use that propaganda if it was athiest they'd use that. They only use Islam cause it's and effective propaganda tool and when folks like you buy into it they achieve a small victory. When leaders like the president of the USA buy into it they achieve a major tool for propaganda and recruitment of deranged individuals. And sure ask Syria and how everyone including most muslims are suffering over there. Whe you say "radical islamic" you link these psychos to the major religion of Islam and essentially ligitimize them. Its like you are doing the enmy's work for them. You are helping them. You should have the courage to say no that's not true and its unfair to them. Mock them by calling them Daesh. Make fun of them Take them lightly. They don't have nor will ever have access to nukes or enough manpower to seriously damage any other country. All they can do is cause these incidents every few months. They are weak and pathetic. Also my city alone has experienced tens upon hundreds of 9/11s in the 21st century so I understand the pain they can cause much more than you can. Ad I have to tell you they are a joke. People sure feel afraid but at the end of the day people live their lives and forget about them. They become an afterthought. They are pathetic and weak and have no future nor are they a major threat to Europe or USA. Its just that USA and Europe are experiences a sliver(taste) of what Asia has suffered for about two decades. The major terrorist attacks that are not reported bu your media are the ones that occur in areas between Turkey and India like PAkistan Iraq and Syria. In bombs and attacks where hundreds die in a single incident or even thousnads sometimes. But the terrorists are weak and will ultimately be forgotten. But all of the mess in the middle east can be traced back to USA, Uk and somewhat Russia. So it is coming to bite USA in the ass somewhat but even that is not much of a danger. The UK basicallt drew lines on a map to create these countries that we have today and USA tried to topple regimes in eadch of them which resulted in the creation of one terrorist organization after another
Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
