Terrorist attack on Tunisian tourist resort, one gunman still being pursued, at least 27 people kill

[smurfy]

Residents of Sousse have held a "fuck off terrorists" march, and the Prime Minister has announced that army reservists will be deployed to tourist sites and 80 mosques accused of inciting violence will be shut down within a week

[QUOTE=proboardslol;48061931]The Baath party was as good as the soviets at keeping down rebellion. I'd take a secular dictatorship contained within the arabian peninsula than a religious movement that shows no signs of stopping at iraqi borders, killing anyone considered haram.

These islamists won't be satisfied with Iraq, or Syria. They won't be satisfied until the entire world over obeys the caliphate; until Iran no longer exists, mecca is demolished, israel has been wiped off the face of the earth, every christian, jew, homosexual, and non-wahabi muslim is dead.

don't assume all countries are the same. Not everyone wants to have a western, secular life of being able to work a decent job and being able to vote and own property. The Arabian peninsula is not liberal, and it's not european. The rebels don't want freedom, they want to be in power and nothing more. You can't educate them, you can't reason with them, you can't give them what they want and hope they realize that there are more important things in life than Allah. You can only oppress them.

Maybe when the Arabian peninsula has reached a stage in economic development when they arrive at western liberal ideas of democracy and secularism on their own, they can be trusted with a democracy. Until then, the only thing that works with third world countries is third world dictators. I'd like to point out that while that serb guy up there was trying to say all muslims are violent, his statistics can't be argued with; most of the arabian peninsula is extremely right wing. They're radicals.

[QUOTE=MissZoey;48057476]People who do this AREN'T true Muslims though. I'm friends with a lot of people of the Islamic faith and NONE of them approve the actions of any terrorist organisation that claim to be Muslim. All of them know that this is clearly against the Qur'an. You aren't even supposed to be violent during Ramadan. You cannot blame the West for the actions of these, in all senses, monsters. The West intervened in some of the places you mentioned and that was AFTER the wars had broken out and shit had hit the fan. Besides that, I think that you just threw up a strawman.[/QUOTE]

Not all muslims are terrorists, nor even extremists, but... don't you think the implications of the social aspects of much of the muslim world (stonings, beheadings, honor killings etc.) speaks volumes on the subject? Or rather, the generally slow progress, and even lack thereof, made in improving areas of concern (for us, but not for them, you see). What I'm saying is that while the majority of muslims don't turn to terrorism, a worryingly large portion of the muslim world idly [B]stands by[/B] as the atrocities are committed (even to other muslims, over vain ideology). Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
They aren't the ones beheading and killing and burning, but... they sure aren't on the streets demanding justice or peace or anything either.

I guess the question I'm trying to pose to you is perhaps these friends of yours [I]aren't true muslims instead[/I]?

Being Muslim is an excuse for these people, not a reason. The way you're talking is borderline Islamaphobia, I should know, I saw things that way once.
