Mosque worshipper, 65, takes down heavily armed gunman

[Luziyca]

That's about the most absurd thing I've seen in a while.

Precisely. It is absurd.

Exactly. If you ban one religion for extremism, you should ban all the others, since pretty much any religion has had extremists committing violence in the name of their religion.

Christianity has largely been moderated by the New Testament and new liberal interpretations. Such a thing is not possible for Islam which is far less open to interpretation and far more overt in its advocacy of hate and violence.

Not sure if the main reason for the modern resurgence of radical Islamism is to be found in books, rather than culture or politics.

The main reason for Islamism is the same reason for WN, namely incel and poverty. If you look at the societies in the Middle East you can observe that they are full of incels partly as a consequence of legal polygyny.

Banning Islam for the jihad terrorists would then necessitate banning Christianity for the IRA.

Most people subscribe to a watered down version of Islam.

Yes, it is. The IRA did not commit the crimes it did in the name of Christianity.

[Scomagia]

I bet it is lower than many pearlclutchers assert.

Read about the rising support for Alternative für Deutschland, which is very much following in the footsteps of the Nazi party.

If your movement adds like one person a month it is technically "rising in support". Color me utterly unconcerned with Nazis

No, it’s not one person a month, Scomagia. This is a poll taken after the Chemnitz protest: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germ ... SKCN1LK1K2

I think that's a tad sensationalist.

[Neko-koku]

I repeat. Islamist violence and WN violence are both predominantly caused by lower class young incels being lower class young incels.

[Destriustan]

It must be embarrassing to be taken down by an elderly man when you've got two shotguns and a pistol.

[The South Falls]

Precisely. It is absurd.

Yes, it is. The IRA did not commit the crimes it did in the name of Christianity.

Ok, this is true. However some of their opponents (read violent Ulster loyalists) did. (when they weren't doing it out of loyalty to the UK solely.

I don't heed polls, Nana. They're far, far too easily manipulated both the pollsters and the polled. But I'll give this too you; they aren't without support.

The election they speak about was a year ago. AfD only got 10% of the vote.

My point is that it is very naive to think that just by banning an ideology or a religion you eliminate it. You just force it underground where it most certainly keeps gaining adherents.

Most people aren't that ideological. So "ideology" is probably a socially semi-acceptable cover of incels revenging against humanity which is socially completely unacceptable.

[National Yorkshire]

I wish Norway restored life imprisonment for crimes like these.

[Otira]

I repeat. Islamist violence and WN violence are both predominantly caused by lower class young incels being lower class young incels.

It has to be more complicated than that. For example, in the United States large segments of their black population are extremely lower class and have higher rates of murder and violence, but they don't commit organized political massacres like Islamists and WN. What's the difference? Or are their murderers not incels like the Islamists and WNs and it all comes down to sex for them?

[Salus Maior]

That's about the most absurd thing I've seen in a while.

Precisely. It is absurd.

No, I mean associating Christianity as a whole so close with the IRA.

The IRA is a regional, ethnic terrorist group. Outside of Northern Ireland you're not going to have any problem with them these days, and besides, even if you try to take away their religion the ethnicity and historical injustices that their group is based on still remains.

It's honestly just stupid to try to make the IRA out to be a general religious terrorist group the same as Al-Qaeda or ISIS is. Hell, they don't even demand conversions they just want Northern Ireland to be apart of Ireland. I imagine if the Protestants in NI also wanted unification with Ireland rather than being Unionist (putting aside the historical grievances), they probably wouldn't be in conflict with them.

That is still alot of people.

I repeat. Islamist violence and WN violence are both predominantly caused by lower class young incels being lower class young incels.

It has to be more complicated than that. For example, in the United States large segments of their black population are extremely lower class and half higher rates of murder and violence, but they don't commit organized political massacres like Islamists and WN. What's the difference? Or are their murderers not incels like the Islamists and WNs and it all comes down to sex for them?

Because it’s simplistic. It’s not inceldom. Like you said, it’s more complex than.

"This just in; sex creates terrorists!"

Ooh whoops wrong account nvm.

Yes, it is. The IRA did not commit the crimes it did in the name of Christianity.

Some people can't understand the conflict outside of scapegoating religions.

[Jolthig]

And that is the exact mindset that resulted in Christchurch.

I am not a Muslim nor a Nazi. I don't advocate killing people based on their beliefs. But, I do believe that dangerous ideologies should be banned or at least face heavy restrictions.

My friend, you are completely mistaken on your views on Islam. I will demonstrate this to be the case why your hate is unfounded and it completely exaggerates what Islam is. Just note my only goal is to tell the truth. Not to change your mind which is up to you really because we will most likely retain our views unless if something happens. I will prepare a large scale response compiled from various sources.

[Risastorstein]

That is still alot of people.

Compared to the Front National in France or the Lega in Italy, not really.
