it's more just about the fact that there are complicated geo-politics at play here and really if they were all Buddhists instead of Muslims we'd still probably have just as much terrorism coming from the region

chalking it up to Islam is an easy oversimplification that will help us solve nothing at all

So what are you saying ? That behind the scenes are middle-eastern countries that use ISIS/Al qaeda as a front for theyr own cause of world chaos ? Perhaps, but why would they use their own religion as part of that front that will eventually backfire on them ?

I dont think its so difficult really. I believe lack of education, no hope (in their own countries) and propaganda in their communities and mosque create these killers.

Glass the middle east imo. As in put a big glass dome around it kind of like that town in that lovely tv show.

I'm kinda really just coming around to "block off the borders and let that poo poo sort itself out for 50 years or so then check back in then." Maybe take some refugees but idk at this point even.

It's a proxy war between Shia v Sunni for dominance in the region that has grown out of control. Think of the Cold War between capitalists and communists resulting in proxy conflicts in Korea/Vietnam/etc. and you'll be close to the mark.

There's a reason the Saudis ain't taking any refugees except the absolute bare minimum necessary to go 'see we're taking refugees!'

that definitely does not help. even so, someone is organizing and funneling money to these groups. someone is buying their oil. someone is supplying them with arms and munitions.

the good news is that they could possibly be thwarted by Brazil's native murderousness- i.e. it's hard to conduct a terror attack when you've already been killed in a robbery or a shootout between the police and favela gangs.

tell that to the Tamil Tigers

The Tamil Tigers aren't operating in multiple nations because the Tamil Tigers don't have sympathetic ppl they can use for support and cover because there is nothing in their religion which compels the believer to commit their lives to holy war.

look I don't want to poo poo up the thread so soon so I'ma just make this one post in reply but that's just silly man the Sri Lankan civil war lasted for ~26 years and killed 100,000 people in a nation that had less than 20m to begin with (that's the size of LA county basically).

most of the non-US western countries lack any serious expeditionary capability though, especially if they can't take advantage of NATO resources

France has some IIRC, they might be one of the only European countries well positioned to ramp up into full scale genocide mode in a timely manner

it was a fluke that white people were able to subjugate almost the entire planet. the west is not nearing a point of full conflagration that will result in the biggest massacre ever seen. liberal is the right way to think and will continue to remain so forevermore :)

Yeah that's true I suppose but if they get some far right wing dude in there they might very well gear up in preparation for something. France if nothing else has the 3rd biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons.
