Re: Expressions of an angry Muslim
Ironically - and very disturbingly - that Muslim's call towards peace and the sanctity of all life, not just American or Western life, has made at least one poster on the forum express a desire for his death!
Wow.
Are you really so profoundly ignorant of the Syrian civil war that you actually believe what this idiot is saying?
The problem with his position is that it pretends that ISIS some sort of grass roots organization, or something, that sprang up out of nowhere for the express purpose of liberating the Syrian people from the al-Assad government.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
ISIS is an offshoot of al-Qaeda and is only in Syria because the failed state nature of the country allows them an opportunity to grow their Islamist caliphate.
Note that I said Islam
ist, not Islam
ic.
They don't want to free the people of Syria from Assad's brutal yoke out of some kindness of the heart, and then turn the country back over to the people of Syria to establish some rule-of-law government of, by, and for the people.
They want to conquer it and rule it according to the most barbaric and brutal form of Islam imaginable.
Syria is only one stop on their tour of global conquest - they spring up anywhere that instability will allow them to gain a toe-hold and then start killing people in order to expand and dominate.
And for the record, the REAL Syrian opposition to the al-Assad government - meaning the Syrians who are fighting for a free Syria - the al-Jaysh as-Suri al-Ḥurr (Free Syrian Army) are also fighting ISIS and the other Islamist movements that are trying to take control of their country.
By the way, ISIS is also waging a covert campaign to radicalize and incite "conflicted" Muslims here in the United States, and over in Europe, to commit terror attacks on our homeland, like in Orlando, San Bernardino, Boston, Paris, Brussels, London, and Copenhagen.
Part of that radicalization effort is to convince those "conflicted" Muslims that ISIS are the good guys, the defenders of the Islamic faith, and that we, through our efforts to combat them, and those like them, are the evil empire.
95% of that guy's video was a castigation of the United States, in to which he'd occasionally intersperse the claim that he doesn't really excuse what ISIS is doing, quickly followed by an allusion that they're only doing it because of us.
This guy, and other guys who carry a similar message online, are the reason that Omar Mateen killed 50 people in Orlando over the weekend.
It's not the gun's fault, it's his fault.
He's the kind of guy who put the snakes in Mateen's head.
And his message is subtle enough that useful idiots will actually defend it as being a "call towards peace and the sanctity of all life" as you're doing here.
Congratulations, consider yourself a dupe, you've been PSYOPed.
I'll restate my claim - this guy is the enemy and should be treated as any other enemy combatant.
