I will NEVER respect Islam as a religion. Their holy book (Koran) is incredibly boring, highly repetitive, and filled with nonsensical gobbledegook befitting of only backwards 7th century desert dwellers. It’s is worse than evil, it is (or, should be) irrelevant.
But, the article below is about its followers, Muslims. One fine quote (of several) to ponder is this;
“It is logical to conclude that if even 1% [18 million] were dedicated to terrorism and the “conquest of infidels,” the war would have ended in their favor long ago.”
Why is Russia the only non-Muslim nation with greater than 10% Muslims, yet they generally get along quite well? (It has NOTHING to do with supposed Russian “brutality”)
What if “radical Islam” really is an invention of our owners?
What if there really are moderate Muslims?
What if everything, or mostly everything, we (no, I) believe about “mooslim-fuks’ is wrong? What shall we then do?
No, those aren’t the questions of the day. Feel free to address them if you wish but, there is only one question at the end of the article …. which I hope you find interesting enough to challenge your assumptions.
================ =
HOW ‘RADICAL ISLAM’ IS PURELY THE INVENTION OF IS INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
There are approximately 1.8 billion Muslims on Earth. That is approximately 24% of the world population.
They live in regions spanning North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and reaching as far as Southeast Asia.
There are Muslim communities in virtually every nation – and in many – they have played a pivotal, constructive, and welcomed role in national development.
If even 1% of the world’s Muslims were violent terrorists bent on conquering the world, that would constitute an army 18 million strong – or in other words – larger than the next 20 largest armies on Earth combined.
Most critics of Islam infer that the number is actually much higher than 1% – many suggesting that the majority of Muslims either are engaged in or support terrorism.
It is logical to conclude that if even 1% were dedicated to terrorism and the “conquest of infidels,” the war would have ended in their favor long ago.
It is clear that there is not even 1% across Islam engaged in or supporting terrorism. Across the Arab World, the vast majority of Muslims, Christians, other sects, and the secular, stand united against terrorism.
It is clear that a mountain of lies stands between many and the truth – a mountain built so tall that it leaves entire segments of targeted populations in the perpetual darkness of ignorance.
FROM WHENCE TERROR FLOWS
The source of terrorism is not the Qu’ran – a book that few critics of Islam have even picked up let alone genuinely read – but rather a very easily traced money trail that leads to Washington and London.
It is indeed the Western World that has created, branded, and marketed “radical Islam,” which is for all intents and purposes a strictly political tool designed to provoke direct Western military interventions where possible, and fight conflicts by proxy whenever direct military intervention is not possible.
In Syria and Iraq, the US has used its terrorist proxies to do both – first to fight the government of Damascus and its allies by proxy, and when that failed, to set a pretext for direct US military intervention.
It has also been used domestically, as one former analyst once put it, “to enlist our obedience for the construction of the prison planet.” Indeed, under the pretext of “fighting terrorism,” the United States and much of Europe has been transformed into an invasive police state and despite stripping away the freedom and liberty of the Western World for the promise of security – the peoples of the West find themselves with neither.
For those that have been sucked up into “radical Islam,” it seems very real. Just as the US uses patriotism to convince young men and women to devote their lives to foreign invasions, wars, and occupations against scores of sovereign nations around the world – predicated on “freedom, democracy, and self-determination” even as US militarism strips all of the above away from the planet – that fraction of a fraction of 1% engaged in “radical Islam” truly believe in their cause – no matter how nonexistent and contradictory it is in reality.
And “radical Islam” does not exist in a vacuum. It requires a medium to interact with. That includes a equally extreme, but opposite “radical ignorance” and fear sown across the Western population.
Together, the two feed each other creating a perpetual pretext for foreign war, a perpetual sense of injustice against Muslims to which US-armed and funded terrorists can rally around, and perpetual fear and hatred spread across the Western World.
It is the age-old political tool of empires – divide and conquer – honed to perfection and supercharged through information technology – particularly social media.
WAHHABISM — THE KEY TO ARAB CONQUEST
Part of “radical ignorance” includes a deep and profound ignorance of history. Understanding the actual inception of “radical Islam,” more accurately known as Wahhabism, dispels many of the most virulent lies spread about Islam – that is has always been a barbaric, warlike ideology. Militant Islam is a relatively new phenomenon, invented by the House of Saud, then cultivated and exploited to its full potential by the British Empire and its American heirs.
The Ottoman Empire and mastery over the Arab World was coveted and contested by the British Empire.
The promise of Arab independence was dangled over the heads of the founders of many of the dynasties now ruling Arabia – dynasties that were carved out through cults of personality and a violent misinterpretation of Islam known as Wahhabism.
The British, after betraying the Arabs, would harness this political tool to do what all empires do best – divide and conquer – and specifically so regarding the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
As the British Empire unraveled, the Americans picked up where London left off. The Saudis and their neighboring Persian Gulf kingdoms have been propped up by the West since the end of World War 1. Since World War 2, many of the same dynasties have sat in power, armed, funded, protected, and invited into some of the most lucrative business deals and economic activity in human history.
It was with members of the Muslim Brotherhood that the US attempted to overthrow current Syrian President Bashar Al Assad’s father, Hafez al-Assad with. It was the US with the Saudis and factions within Pakistan’s military and government who oversaw the very creation of militant groups like Al Qaeda to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.
And it is to this very day still very much a US-European enterprise perpetuating the Saudi regime in Riyadh, arming it to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars in weapons and military support, and using Riyadh admittedly as an intermediary through which Washington, London, and Brussels arm and fund the worst, most virulent terrorist organizations on Earth.
Even current US President Donald Trump – who regularly cites “radical Islam” as an enduring threat to America’s national security, has signed off on immense weapon deals to the very nations the US uses to cultivate and perpetuate global terrorism.
THE US AND EUROPE DRIVE TERRORISM —– NOT ISLAM
Each and every terrorist attack that unfolds across North America or Europe is followed by a tidal wave of propaganda aimed at further bolstering a “clash of civilizations.” The fearful public either cowers or lashes out against Muslims – led by establishment voices including the newly christened “alt-right.”
Muslims and Islam are blamed and the same collection of elementary talking points are rolled out to fan the flames of hatred and hysteria. Points of logic including the number of Muslims on Earth versus the actual number of terrorists are never discussed.
Also never discussed is the fact that terrorists – particularly those either members of the self-titled “Islamic State” (ISIS) and Al Qaeda, or those inspired by such groups – are indoctrinated, radicalized, armed, funded, and supported by Washington, London, Brussels, and a collection of the West’s closest allies in the Middle East – namely Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Jordan, and Israel.
It was in a leaked 2012 US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) memo that revealed the US and its allies’ intent to create what it called a “Salafist principality” in eastern Syria. The memo would explicitly state that (emphasis added):
If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered the strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).
On clarifying who these supporting powers were, the DIA memo would state:
The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey support the opposition; while Russia, China, and Iran support the regime.
The “Salafist” (Islamic) “principality” (State) would indeed be created precisely in eastern Syria as US policymakers and their allies had set out to do. It would be branded as the “Islamic State” and be used first to wage a more muscular proxy war against Damascus, and when that failed, to invite US military forces to intervene in the conflict directly.
In 2014, in an e-mail between US Counselor to the President John Podesta and former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, it would be admitted that two of America’s closest regional allies – Saudi Arabia and Qatar – were providing financial and logistical support to ISIS.
The e-mail, leaked to the public through Wikileaks, stated:
…we need to use our diplomatic and more traditional intelligence assets to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to [ISIS] and other radical Sunni groups in the region.
Despite admissions from the United States military and high-level politicians that ISIS was literally a creation of its own intentional foreign policy and perpetuated through state-sponsorship by America’s closest regional allies, both the administrations of President Barack Obama and President Trump would continue signing weapon deals, maintaining diplomatic ties, and strengthening military and economic cooperation with these state-sponsors of terror.
Simultaneously, the US and Europe also continue encouraging and protecting Saudi Arabia’s global network of faux-madrases – centers of indoctrination often under the watch and even co-management of Western intelligence agencies ensuring a constant, fresh supply of potential patsies for local terrorist attacks and recruits for the West’s proxy armies fighting abroad.
In other words, the problem of “radical Islam” is manufactured and perpetuated by the West. Without the money, weapons, and support provided by the US and Europe to nations like Saudi Arabia, their toxic political tools would quickly dull and be swept into the dustbin of human history.
As seen in Syria itself, where hundreds of trucks per day from NATO territory are no longer able to supply ISIS positions within the country, ISIS is unable to sustain itself.
It lacks genuine popular support in a region where the vast majority of Muslims, Christians, and the secular remain united against it and has no means of sustaining itself without immense and constant state sponsorship.
“Radical Islam,” or Wahhabism is no different. Both continue to exist through the intentional and malicious foreign and domestic policy of Western governments and the special interests that influence them.
KNOW YOURSELF AND KNOW YOUR REAL ENEMY
For those that believe that “radical Islam” is real and an enduring threat to “Western civilization,” they would be wise to heed the words of ancient warlord Sun Tzu who said, “know yourself, and know your enemy and you will never be defeated.”
This means identifying the true source of “radical Islam’s” power by tracing weapons, money, and leadership to their sources. For those that believe “Islam” is the fundamental problem, indulging in cherry picked Qu’ran verses is monumentally irresponsible.
A true enemy must be honestly studied which means cherry-picked versus must be put into context, the Qu’ran as a whole, must be read, and deep and objective study must be undertaken to truly “know one’s enemy.”
Meeting and talking with Muslims, observing their communities, and learning their ways – if one truly believes Islam is a threat – is also fundamental in order to “know one’s enemy.”
Yet it is likely that many who blindly hate Islam do so as a spectator sport. They are disinterested in the truth because picking a side and rooting is the extent of their intellectual, physical, and moral depth. For others, it is a means of profiting. Finding a niche in the West’s massive propaganda machine and picking up crumbs for one’s bank account and ego has become a viable business model for many.
But for those with the moral integrity to do so, a genuine look into “radical Islam” will reveal a much more troubling and real enemy.
One that does not menace us with a foreign culture, religion, or ideology from abroad, but one that lies right in our midst, cloaked in patriotism, humanitarianism, and all that passes for “Western civilization” today.

************* ONE BIG QUESTION **************
Q: After reading, and hopefully giving the points in the article serious consideration … How do you now view Muslims; PMG, or AMM? (See below.)
(Please add some details, even briefly, regarding your answer)
PRETTY MUSLIM GIRL (PMG)
ANGRY MAN MOOSLIM-FUK (AMM)
Optional Question (only if you answered “PMG”)
“Would you be willing to accept PMG type immigrants?”
.
“Optional Question (only if you answered “PMG”)
“Would you be willing to accept PMG type immigrants?”
You might as well have written: “ANSWER ONLY IF YOU AGREE WITH ME.”
THAT’S how naive your thinking is!
BTW, it’s “AMM” through and through.
AND, as to your second question (above), I believe Southerners say it best with
“Oh, HAIL no!!!”
“Thanks for asking!”
This thread has opened my eyes to what TBP has become … to me, personally.
It is no longer a place primarily interested in rational discussion about topics, as it is a forum to fling shit — of which I, myself, certainly participate in, sometimes with gusto — simply for the sake of flinging shit.
It is truly most amazing that I, of all people, have been accused as a Muslim sympathizer in this thread, and with venomous zeal.
— You give this Newbie, Kauf Buch, — who I suspect could be AWB — overwhelming thumbs up on his purely flaming posts, all of them without an iota of supporting commentary … except gems like me being a whoring cocksucker.
— Maybe you missed, or have forgotten, my original (and well received) article from a while back about Islam and the Reformation … and my conclusion that Islam can NEVER successfully be integrated in the Western World.
— And several of you clearly did not read this current article, but skipped directly to the comments section, for you positively missed and/or ignored my opening comment …. which follows in full, and bolded just for you;
“I will NEVER respect Islam as a religion. Their holy book (Koran) is incredibly boring, highly repetitive, and filled with nonsensical gobbledegook befitting of only backwards 7th century desert dwellers. It’s is worse than evil, it is (or, should be) irrelevant.
Does that sound like I’m an Islamic sympathizer worthy of your scorn?? I think not.
My intent in posting this article was NEVER to start a shitfest. In fact, when I posted it, I didn’t think it would even reach 30 or so comments because the author isn’t that extremely controversial. Since many of you didn’t actually read the article …..
His main premise is that Washington, London, and Brussels are the main causes for radical Islam. No controversy there! Many here have said the identical thing in many places and in many threads. His controversial belief is to minimize the role the Koran plays in radicalizing Islam. You unanimously disagree with that. Hell, as is plainly evident in my opening comment … I disagree with him!!
Yet, you feel justified in slamming my fat ass on virtually every comment I made? WTF?? Even my attempts to lighten things up with humor? Like, saying I learned the Bible from bb? Thumbs down! Like, telling RiNS he won’t be invited to the nekkid woman coven meeting? Thumbs down!
I get it. My posts/viewpoints are no longer welcome here. That evidence is overwhelmingly clear. So, you people who might respond that I’m being overly dramatic need to pull your heads out of the sand.
Have it your way.
Am I leaving …. again? No. I’ll continue to post Original Articles.. I have several in mind.
But, I think my days of commenting need to be greatly curtailed, if not cut off permanently. Tis a difficult thing to do, as I’ve grown addicted to this joint. But, SSS did it. Billy. HZK. TeresaE. Llpoh is commenting with far less frequency. Even Admin doesn’t comment in the comments section that much. So, it can be done.
Don’t cry for me Argentina. EVERYONE Is expendable, even Shit-stirrer Stucky. But, 7 out of my last 10 submissions reached 100+ comments. I think you’ll miss that. Maybe.
Posting, for me, just isn’t all that enjoyable anymore. Maybe it will be so again someday. Maybe even tomorrow. Who knows with my fickleness? But, The Burning Question is that if something isn’t enjoyable, then why continue doing it? Would you? I don’t think so. Me neither.
Meanwhile, I’ll be working on the Civil War map-torial.
Have a nice day.
Aaand ….. Blessings!
You were just trying to make a funny with the nekkid girls thing and yet still thumbs down. Don’t get it..
Keep the faith and look forward to your posts. I need to take a break as well..
Maybe my sceed above was a little over the top.
But, I’ve invested years here. and countless hours. And, yeah, I’m an emotional guy, perhaps even a snowflake whose feelings are too easily bruised. So, sure, I truly felt the attacks were unwarranted, and quite nasty. Sounds funny, coming from the master shit-stirrer himself. But, back in the day most, not all, shit flinging was done over issues which were hotly debated. It SEEMS that much shit flinging today is simply done for the hell of it. Gratuitous ‘fuck you’s’, ‘blow me’, ‘eat shit’ … from out of the blue. Perhaps I’m mistaken. Perhaps I over reacted. Not the first time time I’ve done both. As Popeye would say, I am what I am.
I had mentally planned to take at least one week off from commenting. Just to get over my butt hurt. Get recharged. Take a chill pill. Cool Down.
The only reason I’m doing so now is because I’m at the library. I’m at the library because in the middle of reading the Eric Peters article I got booted off. I tried to log back in … and it said something like “the owner of this site has BANNED your IP address”.
Wow. I hope it’s just a glitch, bug, whatever. I don’t think I said or did anything to warrant being banned, so I came here to ask Admin about it.
Cheers. Enjoy your break!!
You are not mistaken. It is all just the overriding symptom of the modern malaise. See you in a week or so.
Stuck
You are not banned. The cloudflare software sometimes makes errors. It has banned me a few times. The ban automatically ends in about an hour.
Value is subjective. Not valuing vote tallies is a possibility.
If dc, London, Brussells are responsible for ‘let’s you & him fight’ literally, who is responsible for taking these symbols of impotence from the seatwarmers as fight? Can’t get it up ain’t contagious, after all – yet it still manages to procreate, somehow. Syringes & turkey basters, I guess.
You got one of the busier corners on lol. I like to laugh. But what Popeye says is what I say, & said this thread, too.
THEN…WTF did you in effect blame all of “recent” islamic terrorism on American Intelligence Community action, and repeatedly yammer on about so-called “moderate” muslims (SEE: pretty muslim girl)???
That’s a RHETORICAL QUESTION.
Don’t. Even. Try. LOSER.
The blame is the primary premise of the article. I do agree with it. Pretty much everyone on this blog knows that American violent interference in the M.E. is a significant cause of Islamic terrorism. Well, you don’t.
The yammering about moderate Muslims was rhetorical … and posed with the qualifier “what if”. At no time did I state that Muslims ARE moderate. (Although some MUST be, at least from a statistical standpoint. Also logically … there MUST be Muslims who are secular, those who don’t give credence to the Koran.)
This is all factual.
I do believe you have extremely serious comprehension issues!
BTW, thanks for helping this march towards 300. Couldn’t do it without you.
I never missed your main premise, Stucky. It’s obvious you’re not a Muslim sympathizer. The term Mooslim-fuk kind of gives it away, I think.
NICE WORK, STUCKY!
You go and post about shizlam and now the site is considered more of a public menace than gay porn.
2 Girls 1 Cup > The Burning Platform
You’re why we can’t have nice things.
Actually, YoBo and friends is why we can’t have nice things like a rational blog with freedom of speech. The yoboists are conducting an undeclared war on said blog, using the freedom of speech to post anti-freedom of speech, neo-Nkit memes and shouting down the former big dogs.
Looks like the morans have succeeded in burning down the Reichstag with the departure of SSS, LLPOH, Stucky, Sensetti, Flash, Ed, Etc.
The young Turks are in charge, we should see gun control and jack boots shortly.

I haven’t departed. I need a break from commenting. I need a break from … myself! I still plan(ed) — if I’m not banned — to post c&p articles, and original articles.

I certainly don’t want you to leave again. I know you don’t like me but this place is waaaay more fun with you posting articles.
Your fan,

“I know you don’t like me …” —— BL
You are SOOOOOOOO wrong!!!!!!!!!!! You couldn’t be MORE wrong!!!
Sure, we get at it. We disagree on conspiracies deeply. So what! I take most of our “jabs” at each other with a grain of salt …. many are even downright funny.
I’ll bet even bb thinks I don’t like him … you know, cuz I’m all over his ass, often. But, when bb asked for prayers over his heart surgery, I gave it my best shot, and tried to offer him words of comfort. The only thing that constantly chaps my ass is his way-to-often quoting of Bible verses.
Here’s my list of people I really don’t like at all: AWB, Kauf Buch (possibly the same person), Ditchner, and now KeyserSuzie. That’s it! I have disagreements with others, but no long-term animosity towards any of them.
Great! I like you too.
So stay already….OK?
“Here’s my list of people I really don’t like at all: Kauf Buch…” (NOT the same)
MY GOD. You sound like a damned 10-year-old! And a retarded one, at that.
Grow up, fool.
Like me or not, you write a screed in effect
A) blaming these islamic terrorist problems on AMERICAN Intelligence Community
and
B) rationalizing the existence of some imaginary “moderate” islam, and act “shocked! SHOCKED!” when people who realize the existential threat islam poses IN REAL LIFE try to slap some sense into you.
You deserve to be laughed out of the room.
Kauf, Stucky is one of my favorite posters on this website, both his articles and his comments. He adds provocative articles to get people talking and debating, which has happened here. The majority of his postings get anywhere from 100 to 300 comments. He definitely livens things up.
Maybe you should read a website a little while before posting to understand what’s really going on. Had you done so, you would realize where Stucky is coming from.
TO VV
My comments are not primarily about the person “stucky”,
but rather the stooge/dupe/Useful Idiot
and his islamic apologia (incl. “blame US Intelligence!” schtick).
I couldn’t care less to follow any one writer at this site.
And I *certainly* don’t care what any single paranoid writer thinks of me
(I don’t know – much less care – who this AWB is).
The individual threads/topics interest me at TBP.
I think it’s totally unfair to blame YoBo.
There’s ONLY ONE person, as far as I know, who left specifically because of Yo, and that’s SSS. Llpoh MAY have decided to post less frequently because of the Joo stuff, which is NOT limited to YoBo … but, then again, he also stated it was for reasons he didn’t wish to disclose.
I too mourn the loss of frequent commenters, especially the really good ones; HZK, Teresa. Billy … you know the list.
But, whatddya gonna do?? This is a no censorship place. Admin has committed to NEVER censuring opinions (with rare exceptions such as DP and RE). Some people will leave because of all the niggah stuff. Joo stuff, Mooslim stuff. I bet I turned off a few with my ‘copfuk’ stuff. And on and on. Admin would need 40+ hours a week cleaning up everything people are sensitive about. And, quite frankly, people will leave because they’re just tired of this place, of commenting, or of life itself.
I no longer ask people to come back, or congratulate them if they do. SSS (if it was really him) commented on the Wicca thread. I used to say — “Good to see you posting! Hope to see ya more often!”, or some such thing. But, not that time. Sometimes, ya just gotta respect a person’s decision, and let them go.
Here’s a dedication for you, Stucky. Just cause we Mexes are big on dedications.
https://youtu.be/BjHSOzVU5j0
Yes, it’s unfair to blame YoBo but it’s fun to blame him, I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have him to kick around anymore. He validates me I guess, him and his lover Nkit.
Now you funny, too.
Stuck – there is zero doubt in my mind that the stuff happening to Admin has happened because of the dump Yo has taken on the site.
You are in dreamland if you cannot see the change in clientele around here. And it is because of the Hitler worshipper.
Fuckin’ snowflakes. How hard is it just to ignore the stuff? God knows I am no fan of Hitler or the Turd Reich but I have to admit some of the shit he posts leaves me giggling (sometimes for reasons he probably did not intend).
Of course I don’t consider myself a guardian of TBP’s reputation. It’s Admin’s sandbox and I am happy with whatever rules he makes. If I disagreed with them, I would either leave or find a way to get banned, usually the latter because it’s more lulzy.
The change is noticeable. See my “leaving” post at 8:51am.
The anti Joo sentiment goes far beyond Yo. I mean almost every day somebody on some post has something to say. A change in clientele. Some are more prolific, but the overall numbers are high.
Fortunately, we still have some goods and greats; you, Admin, RiNS, Maggie, T4C, BL, el, indentured, drud, unit, card, uncola, gore, the new guy steveC, Mary, Zars, Christine and several others, really. Let’s include bb, the annoying little shit who just grows on ya. Sorry about names left out … there really are quite a few more.
In a totally open forum ya gotta take the bad with the good. I know you know that.
“Their holy book (Koran)….”
Which translation did you read? There are some significant differences.
People come and people go, that’s life.
Making the association with place is a mistake, sometimes their lives go another direction, other things catch their interest, whatever.
This place offers something unique, it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and not all who read feel compelled to comment-maybe that’s just part of it. The fact that we have had this at all, for however long admin decides to keep the gerbils on the wheel, we should count ourselves lucky. I’ve been writing for almost forty some years and I learned more in the time I have spent here than in all the rest put together, I couldn’t have paid for a better education-
The Muslim thing is like the economic thing is like the race thing is like the conspiracy thing is like then gender thing is like the fourth turning thing is like the NWO/MSM thing- it’s out of our control. The world is going to do what it has always done and that is to reward whoever or whatever shows up.
We’re like the group of strangers that show up just after dark on some little stretch of sand on the 4th of July and crane our heads skyward. We oooh and ahh back and forth as the shells explode above us, to each other and to no one in particular, just glad that we aren’t watching it alone.
And that’s all I’ve got to say about that…
[img[/img]
I agree broadly with the argument of the article – simply put: ISIS et al were created by the West to justify oppression abroad (with the added bonus of generating huge profits in arms sales) and justify repression at home on domestic populations. Project Fear, the Prison Planet.
Now, having said that, it’s an inescapable fact that there are perhaps ten Muslim countries (for instance Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bahrain, Iran, Indonesia) in the world that interpret Sharia law in its harshest terms possible, and this would include: death penalties for blasphemy and homosexuality, stoning of women for adultery, FGM, forced marriages, reduced rights for women, etc. Linked to this is a personal story of my father who used to live in Bahrain for many years – my sister and her husband visited him there, but he always instructed me never to come because he was fearful that something would happen to me (as a gay man), perhaps prison, perhaps violence – he never said exactly what he was afraid of – he only said “don’t come, it’s not safe for you”. Of course, I visited him in Morocco and other countries without fear or anxiety. Bahrain was the only hard-line Sharia country he ever lived in, and the only place I was never allowed to visit him. This cannot be regarded as a coincidence. This story is not a false flag, or state propaganda. This is how it is on the ground for ordinary people in real life in some Arab countries.
Yes, most woke folks can see through the govt false flags peppering the calendar all over the West, year after year, starting w 9/11. But the same people can also see that if Sharia takes hold in the West (even a moderate form), then at best there are serious freedoms, traditions and ways of life that will be lost. At worst, well, see above…
Sharia cant overwhelm entire countries overnight – but there is already the slow drip-drip of change (especially in Europe) that is imperceptible when observed and measured day to day, yet over the course of a generation or two, Sharia could be firmly in place where it was once unimaginable. America cant exclude itself from this possibility.
I was drinking and should have kept my rude pie hole shut.
Quite a history of terror attacks in the Russian Federation.

What ISIS Really Wants (March, 2015 article)
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here’s what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/what-isis-really-wants/384980/
…”The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), follows a distinctive variety of Islam whose beliefs about the path to the Day of Judgment matter to its strategy, and can help the West know its enemy and predict its behavior. Its rise to power is less like the triumph of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (a group whose leaders the Islamic State considers apostates) than like the realization of a dystopian alternate reality in which David Koresh or Jim Jones survived to wield absolute power over not just a few hundred people, but some 8 million.
We have misunderstood the nature of the Islamic State in at least two ways. First, we tend to see jihadism as monolithic, and to apply the logic of al-Qaeda to an organization that has decisively eclipsed it. The Islamic State supporters I spoke with still refer to Osama bin Laden as “Sheikh Osama,” a title of honor. But jihadism has evolved since al-Qaeda’s heyday, from about 1998 to 2003, and many jihadists disdain the group’s priorities and current leadership.
…
The most-articulate spokesmen for that position are the Islamic State’s officials and supporters themselves. They refer derisively to “moderns.” In conversation, they insist that they will not—cannot—waver from governing precepts that were embedded in Islam by the Prophet Muhammad and his earliest followers. They often speak in codes and allusions that sound odd or old-fashioned to non-Muslims, but refer to specific traditions and texts of early Islam.
To take one example: In September, Sheikh Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the Islamic State’s chief spokesman, called on Muslims in Western countries such as France and Canada to find an infidel and “smash his head with a rock,” poison him, run him over with a car, or “destroy his crops.” To Western ears, the biblical-sounding punishments—the stoning and crop destruction—juxtaposed strangely with his more modern-sounding call to vehicular homicide. (As if to show that he could terrorize by imagery alone, Adnani also referred to Secretary of State John Kerry as an “uncircumcised geezer.”)
But Adnani was not merely talking trash. His speech was laced with theological and legal discussion, and his exhortation to attack crops directly echoed orders from Muhammad to leave well water and crops alone—unless the armies of Islam were in a defensive position, in which case Muslims in the lands of kuffar, or infidels, should be unmerciful, and poison away.
…
Virtually every major decision and law promulgated by the Islamic State adheres to what it calls, in its press and pronouncements, and on its billboards, license plates, stationery, and coins, “the Prophetic methodology,” which means following the prophecy and example of Muhammad, in punctilious detail. Muslims can reject the Islamic State; nearly all do. But pretending that it isn’t actually a religious, millenarian group, with theology that must be understood to be combatted, has already led the United States to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it. We’ll need to get acquainted with the Islamic State’s intellectual genealogy if we are to react in a way that will not strengthen it, but instead help it self-immolate in its own excessive zeal.
…
Centuries have passed since the wars of religion ceased in Europe, and since men stopped dying in large numbers because of arcane theological disputes. Hence, perhaps, the incredulity and denial with which Westerners have greeted news of the theology and practices of the Islamic State. Many refuse to believe that this group is as devout as it claims to be, or as backward-looking or apocalyptic as its actions and statements suggest.”

Thank you for your compliments above!
Let me clue you in on a “secret”;
— no one here reviles me more than AWB. You can almost literally feel the venom leaking from your keyboard.
— AWB’s hate posts die down in frequency
— simultaneously, out of nowhere, this Newbie appears with the name Kauf Buch
— Kauf Buch ‘s venom is IDENTICAL to AWB … SAME sentence structure … SAME insults, both in frequency and content, etc.
— I have made this connection a few times. Not once has Kauf Buch denied it. Ever. (Denying it NOW that the cat is out of the bag is too late!)
CONCLUSION: AWB and KAUF BUCH ARE ONE AND THE SAME! You can take that to the bank. Also conclusive … there isn’t a bigger duplicitous coward on TBP than AWB/Kauf Buch.
In a sad – VERY sad – way,
it’s “flattering” you should think (read: OBSESS)
so much about me that you imagine me to be this “AWB” thing.
Sorry. WRONG.
I’m ME. This AWB is whoever they are.
That’s YOUR problem.
NOT that it matters in the least to the ideas discussed on this thread.
However, should your condition persist, please seek mental help.
Waaay to late to make that denial. AWB = Kauf Buch. Guaranteed. You (KB) even use the SAME “obsessed” line I used on AWB. Bwahahahaha!!!!
You know if you left TBP … not one person would give a flying fuck for even one nano-second. You would be totally forgotten by the next day.
Jealous, aren’t you?
Recently spent 12 days hiking from Nazareth to Bethlehem a path that goes through the heart of the West Bank. The Palestinians were warm and friendly., good people. I stayed in their homes . We are being fed a line of propaganda about these people. Believe as you wish
