We more than see the consequences now we foresaw them years ago.
This is nothing new. I'm telling you, what's happening in the Middle East/Africa literally sounds like my Western Civ book during Feudalism except Islam is in the place of Christianity.
Why do we have to debate whether or not all Muslims are or support terrorism and not actually discuss this massive human rights violation?

Actually, that's pretty accurate.
Which places Islam squarely in the middle ages, or at least the fundamentalist sort of Islam that spawns terrorism
Do those textbooks talk about the Arabs having had a renaissance before the Europeans did, and having invented such things as algebra and the base ten numbering system? Then, it seems, they started slipping back into the dark ages at the same time Christiandom started coming out of it.
This is a 'them' problem.........if people in Afruca and half the Middle East want to pretend like it's 1200 years ago......let them have at it........in another 1200 years they will figure it the f""k out and maybe become civilized......although I doubt it
The problem with that sort of attitude is that the problems in Africa and the ME spill over into the rest of the world. What we're seeing is the ongoing struggle between freedom and slavery. If we want to keep freedom, we need to be willing to be committed to that struggle.
And often that \struggle' only involves speaking out without fear of retaliation. Nonetheless, as we have seen, that retaliation from Muslims is real.
On an early thread where Ali Hirsi was 'dis-invited to speak' at Brandeis University the debate soon became about Hirsi Ali and not the truth of her words. This diversions are the most common tactic among those who don't want these issues discussed.
Hehehe, not sure about American but I sure as hell condoned the amount of kickass the FBI delivered. Unfortunately those whack-jobs ended up burning the place down with women and children inside (but who knows, maybe I'm glad for it because the kids were the next generation of whack-jobs and the women may have been whack-jobs as well, so I dont think any deaths there earn my sympathy), but as long as it was ended whatever.

You are glad that women and children burned inside a building because you think that they might have grown up to be "whack jobs"?
You need help. Considering your comments above, I think most people would agree that you are in fact a whack job. So you should be careful condemning "whack job"
Nope, not to mention the fire was apparently started by themselves. The children were beaten and abused, their morals tainted by our standards. If you think carefully about it, who knows whether it would've been better for them to continue on or for their suffering to be ended.
Depends on what you call a whackjob. Is a whackjob a person who thinks what is considered insane or DOES what is considered insane? I'm a very prejudiced young man, but I have never discriminated in my life and work towards bettering it. But who knows, maybe I am still a whack job, because I'm glad these (what I consider whack-jobs?) people are out of society. Next step would be the eradication of the Westboro Baptist church, but unfortunately for me it looks like they aren't going anywhere.

YOU! I am considering YOU a whack job. Tell me what these kids did, not their parents, or the adults around them, but specifically what those kids did to deserve death. Hell, other than those who opened fire on the FBI agents, who there deserved death? Again, YOU are a whack job.
Children didn't start the fire. They were killed by the adults.
Sure, by your standards I am a whack-job. By mine I am not, merely prejudiced.
I think my humanities standards, anyone who is pleased by 20 something children burning alive is a whack job.
