#1  The best place to fight "ISIS" is at home.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 12/07/2015 2:32 Comments || Top||

#2  Funny, that's what The Once said last night. Oh, and more gun control.
Posted by: Deacon Blues || 12/07/2015 8:08 Comments || Top||

#3  So the police have got it wrong all this time; you don't arrest criminals, you negotiate with them.

Idiots.
Posted by: Sven the pelter || 12/07/2015 11:56 Comments || Top||

#4  The best negotiation, is when a loaded gun is pointed at them, and cocked too.

#2  Tequila.

#3  Aid and comfort to the enemy.
Why is he not impeached?
Be done with this clown.
Posted by: Redneck Jim || 12/07/2015 15:44 Comments || Top||

#4  Sadly to impeach him would be considered 'racist' - no matter what the evidence against him. (and if that itself isn't racist...)

And few in congress (and nobody in the congressional leadershit) have the balls to try.

Southeast Asia
'Peaceful Salafism’ In Malaysia?
Posted by: ryuge || 12/07/2015 00:00 || Comments || Link || [2 views] Top|| File under: Salafists

#1  pretty verbose but the author actually realizes the problem,

from his opinion piece,

"... a blanket term such as “Peaceful Salafism” hides the presence of extremists, radicals, terrorists and their supporters and perpetuates a false sense of comfort that non-violent Salafis should be uneasy about...."
Posted by: lord garth || 12/07/2015 4:13 Comments || Top||

#2  Since radical ISLAM claims they are true ISLAM the moderate Muslims need to come up with a term of their own, and perhaps some style way that the world can tell them apart (wear sombreros instead of turbans for example).
Posted by: rjschwarz || 12/07/2015 15:11 Comments || Top||

#3  Peaceful Salafism is an oxymoron.

Terror Networks
Al-Qaeda also fills the void

#1  There is no Al-Quida, there is no ISIS, there are only 1.4 billion sociopaths bent on destroying civilization.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 12/07/2015 3:39 Comments || Top||

#2  Al-Quida and ISIS provide targeting information to those sociopaths. Yes if they are destroyed another group (or a few) will pop up to replace them but the targeting info is what makes them dangerous.
Posted by: rjschwarz || 12/07/2015 15:13 Comments || Top||

#3  I find it interesting that one minute we were watching an Islamic civil war between Shia and Sunni and then Russia got involved on the Shia side and the next thing you know the West is attacking the Sunni.

Home Front: Culture Wars
Saudi Arabia - an ISIS that has made it. Why claims of *fighting terrorism* are bogus without discussing the cultural problem

#1  Shouldn't this be in opinion? Not that I don't agree completely. As the old-timers here know, I've said "Real WOT would start with extermination of the Saudi 'Royal Family'" on several occasions.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 12/07/2015 8:34 Comments || Top||

#2  Real WOT would start with extermination examination of the Saudi 'Royal Family'
Posted by: Skidmark || 12/07/2015 9:49 Comments || Top||

#3  Shouldn't this be in opinion?

Since it was published in the New York Times opinion section, yes. And so I have moved it there.
Posted by: trailing wife || 12/07/2015 9:55 Comments || Top||

#4  The time for examination is long past.
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 12/07/2015 10:04 Comments || Top||

#5  Someone should let slip that Mecca is on a Russian target list. Let them consider that fact for awhile in their fevered imagination.
Posted by: rjschwarz || 12/07/2015 15:17 Comments || Top||

#6  No mention of Sunni or Salafist.

Just the usual denial of the fact this is a religious war. To characterize it as 'terrorism' completely misses the point.

Ben Carson Calls for a '€˜Moratorium' on '€˜Suspicious' Foreign Nationals
An oblique reference to the current White House occupant, or his failed policies ?

#1  Doctor, isn't one of the fundamental medical protocols in an epidemic to isolate known carriers and their immediate local population?
Posted by: Procopius2k || 12/07/2015 9:39 Comments || Top||

#2  Does that include the suspicious foreign national in the WH?
