Sometimes I read d&d. I know, a disdainful admission here in gbs, and there is definitely a lot of long winded bullshit spewn by self righteous blowhards, but it's rare to find such thoughtful discourse on the internet nowadays that doesn't devolve into childish arguing But where is the Islamic extremism thread? Certainly that is a hot button topic right now in the world that has a lot of people's attention (to say the least), definitely worthy of debate & discussion. I almost started one myself but an op in d&d just seems like too much work Was there one at some point that got shut down? Is the discussion about it scattered across threads? Is d&d too afraid to broach the topic? What's up

I'm guessing most D&Ders think that Islamic extremist terrorism is good and that the west deserves it.

The Middle East thread is mostly an rss feed for horrible things happening in Syria, but we definitely talk about it. Jihadist terrorism is worth discussing, but the attacks in Western cities are a drop in the bucket compared to the poo poo they do to other Muslims. I think "Islamic terrorism" is sort of a misnomer tbh. It's not Shiites, Sufis, or mainstream Sunnis shooting French cartoonists or bombing Ariana Grande concerts. It's followers of a specific strain of Salafist/Wahhabist thought with a political agenda (and a few random crazies who happen to be Muslim). The KKK burns crosses on people's lawns, but we don't call that "Christian terrorism." Anyway, D&D has the weirdest stereotypes because we'll just be trying to talk about the Raqqa offensive or whatever and some one will come in complaining that we're all neocon imperialist warmongers who hate Arabs and then like the next day some one will be whining that we're all naive liberals for treating Muslims like people. Somehow this is still better than most forums.

Why won't D&D say the words "radical Islamic terrorism"? I'm just asking questions.

A tragic problem with D&D is people never post threads, and apparently not posting has reached the point where they will instead post threads in other forums about there not already being a thread in D&D.

this thread should be moved to d&d IMO. and then everyone will be happy and posting.

If terror attacks happen they are discussed in the regional threads like Europol or USpol. There isn't an "islamic extremism" thread because all regional wahhabist/salafist movements are not coordinated or connected with each other that much. If you want to talk about ISIS and its operations in Europe and the US, the Middle East thread would probably be your best bet. If you want to talk about the situation in the Philippines, which is a totally different beast, you should go to the Philippol thread. Obviosuly, you can open an overarching megathread for islamist terror, but Philippine people are gonna be bored reading RSS Syria and the Syria people are gonna be bored reading RSS Philippines. But go ahead, try it, it might work. Alternatively, you can also completely ignore everything I have just written and spout some conspiracy theory about how the libtards melt if they say the words islamist terror.

Terrorism is very bad, doesn't really matter where it comes from. Terrorism comes from certain groups (much) more than others.

That kind of thread would not be allowed in D&D, or anywhere on the site.

Islamic terrorism is really a tactic by Islamist militant groups so a larger, general thread about political Islamism would be more interesting and include the militants with it. But then you also have to talk about non-violent Islamist movements and political parties. You don't get to have it one way.
