so how are you going to pick which organization to join that fights entities that have committed mass killings, there are so many. maybe out of a hat? russia has executed way more people, i think your priorities are backwards friend

I have come to believe that radical islam is an actual threat to america.. politicized religion is the strongest human force on earth. so I guess it's mostly about deciding on how much I care about america.

dunno i think racism is pretty close. see: turkey, which chose secular ethnic state vs. theocracy and, after a little ethnic cleansing, has done pretty well compared to the theocracies that surround it

I meant the ability to galvanize a population or a group towards a certain agenda.. of course nations can keep their poo poo together through repression and divide and conquer and all the other tricks of entrenched power. but that's a long way from the kind of momentum that ISIS has pulled together out of what looks to the Western world like thin air. Who's going to stop them at this point..who even wants to?
