if they were all Buddhists instead of Muslims we'd still probably have just as much terrorism coming from the region

This is not true at all. Christians yes, but Buddhists just set themselves on fire and even then they have massive discussions about whether even that is way too violent

its because it is incredibly politically inconvenient to call it islamic extremism when you are allied with islamic extremist governments and also because its just really bad form to boil down a complicated issue like this into a simple statement which makes implications about people unrelated to the entire affair

Yeah but we live in an age where your post was almost too long for me to read.

The US thinks of France as this far-left country because they didn't join in the Iraq Invasion, they really like to gently caress, and uhh

To be fair a big part of Le Pen's rise has been the fact that France currently has a left wing government that has ran the economy into the ground where entire cities work for the government doing important poo poo like loving and smoking.

Europe is a bit like Steve Jobs when he got cancer where it's suddenly starting to realize you can't beat cancer (or Islamic terrorism) with fruit smoothies and being really really positive and it probably should have started chemo earlier but oh well time to die.

To argue against it, I will declare that Hitler had the right idea, but he was focusing on the wrong people.

Hitler was the worst thing to happen to Europe because now every time you innocently round people up based on their race people immediately think you're going to gas them.

won't someone think of the real victims, the leftists who have to go through ever more strenuous mental gymnastics to come up with arguments as to why terrorism has nothing to do with islam

Hey now, not bombing the Middle East and instead controlling your own borders is racist.

The only non-racist option is to bomb the poo poo out of, sorry, liberate the Middle East and then invite them to your country enmass and then look really sad when they drown in the sea.

I don't want to ban Muslims or deport them or glass their countries or any of that stupid poo poo. I just want to be able to make fun of Islam in the same way people make fun of Scientology and say that people who are Muslims are dumb because their religion is dumb without ending up getting charged with a hate crime.

if you can't even make a good argument without first twisting the opposition's words maybe you need to step back and think over your beliefs and views and check them for logical consistency. A good argument doesn't need to first turn the opposition into a strawman or appeal to some kind of emotion.

That's the entire appeal of GBS over D&D, you can get embroiled in an argument and at any time you can leave because you know your opponent is a pseudo intellectual idiot and it was impossible to win anyway so just post.

So we concluded that the only true way to stop all terrorism forever is not only deport all muslims, but to nuke their whole countries so they can never bother anyone ever again. The rest should be put to the gas chambers.

You know, what, gently caress the muslims, they are not the problem, everyone from the middle east is a problem! gently caress everyone who has a darker shade of skin that is the only way to tell where they really from, where their loyalties lie.

Not black people though, that would REALLY be racist.
