ISIS details 'Why We Hate You' in new magazine | Fox News
 
I thought it was because they didn't have sufficient job opportunities. I also thought it was because of Guantanamo.
 

It's lunatic propaganda, however... they are well funded, dedicated to their cause and no matter how much idiots in Washington try to claim ISIS Jihad and Islam are not entangled, they are.

It would be far smarter to approach it like Christians do the idiots of Westboro. "Sure, they claim to be Christians, but it's their own crazy land version and we reject it utterly."
 
Huh, the people who benefit from a "war on Islam" narrative are telling you there's a war with Islam.
 
Old news to some of us. Social fringe, not withstanding.
 

I'm sure that Fox News highly edited out their real issues, but that being said it's hard for me to listen to ISIS talk about Christianity and Western Imperialism after the things they've done to other countries and ethnic groups --or their own children, for christ's sake.


I'm not sure I attach any meaning to "peaceful" in the context of Islam than I do socialism/libertarianism/etc being peaceful or violent. Salafi Islam is clearly violent, in both it's non-militant (They aren't violent to other groups, but they are quite violent to people living in their lands, e.g. Saudi Arabia's absurdly high death penalty cases) and militant cases (e.g. terrorism, death penalty, slavery, sexual abuse of children, etc). Modernized Western Islam? Not really a violent ideology in the least, and they stand in diametric opposition to Salafism. There's no risk of them committing terrorism or being violent or supporting violent Islam.
 

No such animal. Islam cannot change. If you wish to use westernized and modern, that is fine, just don't tack Islam on the end.
 
Gee, sound like a speech at Berkeley.

Heiferdust.

We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thought. With our thoughts we make the world.

Don't forget about global warming.
 
Islam has changed many times over the last 1500 odd years. Compare medieval Islam with modern.

Yeah, they stopped using the shaif and started using the AK-47 and bomb vests. That's a big change, alright.

Did you really say that? You should have said compare modern to medieval. They seem pretty much the same.

So you are ignoring the difference between Islam at the time of muhammad and at, say, the time of the Nasrids in Spain?

Ideologically speaking, there is no difference.

Those are called "recruiting tools".
