Oh, please, come off it. Yes, some people of Muslim faith have committed acts of violence in the name of their religion. But that religious group is not responsible for that.

Tell me, what religious group is the greatest victim of ISIS violence?


Yazidis probably tbh.

Just in terms of raw numbers, it’s other Muslims. Because they are fighting not for all Islam, but their narrow conception of the religion.

“Some people of Muslim faith”

200,000 doesn’t seem like a small number.

And that’s only counting ISIS members. Not members of the Syrian jihadist opposition groups, the Iraqi jihadist opposition groups, Boko Haram, ISIS in Mozambique, the Taliban, al-Qaeda and so many others.

I'll file that under rectally sourced statistics.

Anyway, even if this were true (Human Rights Watch places the number around 90.000, including Syria) that would still make it a vast minority in the Muslim community as a whole. Even Iraq has 40 million inhabitants, most of whom, as you will notice, have not joined ISIS. So how, exactly, is that representative? It isn't, of course, but you decided ISIS was representative of all Islam way before you pulled that 200.000 figure out of your ass.

The Second Klan had between 3 million and 6 million members, but I guess you don't think they represent you. Or you do, in which case this conversation is over.

When there's 1.8 billion Muslims on earth, 200,000 is a small number. The way people make it out, you'd think every Muslim was a member of ISIS.

Or you could file it under a claim made by the Peshmerge Chief of Staff. But whatever works for you, which I guess is just insults.

Besides, the amount of Muslims who condone Islamic extremism across the Middle East is far higher than the number of those who are actually members of militant groups.

You also don’t think cops, who voluntarily chose to make their profession in an organisation that is known as violent, can be judged for that.

Nope, I just think that Islam is the religion most prone to violent actions.

Aside from western nations supporting one side or the other, why dyou think the Middle East and Africa is a hotspot for religiously-motivated wars?

This is not the place to have that discussion. In fact, nowhere is the place to have that discussion. Take your determinism and racism to a forum that cares to hear it.

No, the point is that there are members of any group who do horrible things, but that does not mean that the entire group endorses the actions or should be tarred by the same brush.

Jihadist ideology is fundamentally reactionary, conservative, and in many ways cryptofascist. They fit into the Far Right rather splendidly. The difference being they're religious chauvinists, not racial chauvinists.

And even then, some Jihadi fascists indeed do divide themselves along ethnic lines.

A major tenet of pan-Arabism is that the entirety of the Ummah, on top of being united around the Arabic language due to it being the holy language of Islam, should also have Arabics as the dominant culture and ethnicity and that the entirety of the Ummah should delegate it's powers to Arabic centers.

This is of course ignoring that Africa and the Middle East are not predominantly Arabic and the fact that Saudi Arabia holds a monopoly on Muslim holy sites (Mecca and Medinah being the primary ones in the whole religion) leaves many other Arabic and Muslim nation states greedy for more power.

OPEC and the Arabic League only have enough power as the members want it to have after all.

And yeah, I called it... They were using Minecraft to plan shit.

"Hey are we gonna go kill some Jews... In Minecraft?"

"Yeah dude lol"

Well give Nordean some credit, nobody expects really silly pathetic shit like wackos fantasizing about committing real-life violence using Minecraft as a vector.

And I've expanded on the point to prevent further confusion, Baltenstein. Regardless, the fact remains that Ilhan has never pushed for any antisemitic laws and policies, nor did she engage in any discriminatory conduct herself. Criticizing Benjamin Netanyahu's Apartheid regime is in no way equivalent to antisemitism, just like criticizing Donald Trump and Joseph Biden is in no way being "Anti-American".

I want to say "wait, that's not pan-arabism" but then I remember pan-arabism is no longer around and that may as well be the current pan-arabism.
