So why are you against invading Mexico? They're more of a threat because they're right next to us as opposed to halfway across the world.

Mexico needs to clean up it's criminal element.

Do you want us to do it? We can't even clean up the gangs of Chicago.



They are more powerful/influential/payoffs and is why no clean up will occur anytime soon. Chicago samo samo.


The people who could will not. I believe it's not in the plan or they do not care to put in the effort.

WE aren't Russia WE don't occupy other countries we invade and leave.
In order to FIX Mexico we would HAVE to DESTROY Mexico.
I think it's an EPICLY, wrong headed, BAD idea.

We have more military bases around the world than any other country, we most certainly do occupy other countries. We've been in the Middle East for 15 years now, we are occupying it as we speak.

And I agree, destroying Mexico is definitely a bad idea, so is invading or occupying it.

A man who is actually fighting against the racists and bigots, is called the racist and bigot, this is a very strange clown world we have evolved into, quite strange.


Sam Harris, the Islamophobic bigot and racist

I dunno, perhaps because he is?

Loonwatch

Islamophobia is big business

The first two aren't exactly objective sources. They have a bone to pick with anyone who critiques Islam, right or wrong. So Sam Harris is going to be on their radar anyway. Their critique of his stance is weak at best in my opinion.
The third link doesn't mention Harris, that I could find, but is an interesting link nonetheless. I personally do not agree with or support violence against Muslims, but their ideology is not compatible with Western civilization. None of the Abrahamic religions are, but Islam is more likely to use violence than the other two at present.

Sam Harris like Bill Maher are not objective commentators on this issue.

Why? Because both are haters of religion.

They will seek out like pigs seek out slop all the horrible and bad things in religion and paint all the people of that religion with that slop

Their slop merchants

Harris and Maher are intellectual light weights

I'd give 1000 bucks to debate any of them and would devour these light weight intellectual midgets

Harris is Trump with a fake intellectual face

And Maher is Trump with a laughing face

Still ugly bigotry and ignorance behind the facades

"Do you think there is a non radical form of Islamism or jihadism, if so then you are confused, would someone speak about the "moderate Nazis", in fact in his video he shows that people did during that time."

Moderate Nazi's? Really?

I certainly believe there is a non radical form of Islam... My muslim neighbour has invited me and my family 2 days ago for dinner. He wanted me to experience how they break their fast. He is the kindest neighbour I've had so far. I don't believe he's practicing a radical form of Islam. 1/5 of the world's population is following a radical form of Islam according to this claim. Oh man, I must be so confused...



What does that 1/5 matter?

It's not stopping any of it, is it?

You mean like -

1. "I'd give 1000 bucks to debate any of them and would devour these light weight intellectual midgets "

2. "Harris is Trump with a fake intellectual face"

3. "And Maher is Trump with a laughing face"

4."Still ugly bigotry and ignorance behind the facades"

almost every part of your last statement was an insult and ad hom against these men, and yet you will cry foul on being asked to be an idiot somewhere else? yes you are behaving like an idiot, and I have pointed out how, and that's fine if you will not move around, just don't expect to get away with it here.

Sam Harris objectivity on Islam is like asking the KKK to be objective on black people

Or someone asking a NAZI to judge a Jew

Or a Black Muslim bigot to comment on White people who he thinks is a devil

The guy hates religion thoroughly and has written that he does

So how does he judge all of Islam based on the actions of a few crazy radicals.


Do we judge all of communism based on the actions of Stalin?

Who murdered 10 million people?

Or Mao who murdered millions of people

DO we judge all Mexicans based on the actions of the drug cartel and tell Mexico how to reform their society?

Do we judge all of the American colonials as eternal devils for being their when slavery and the genocide of Native Americans was taking place.

His logic falls on its very face unto his own ignorant bigotry

He hates ALL religion (particularly Christianity and Islam) so how he can advise a civilization that brought his forefathers out of ignorance unto civilized behavior where they no longer burnt people at the stake

If he honestly wants to assist the reform of Islam then he should seek understanding, knowledge and impartiality

You should really research before you post nonsense:

Mexican drug war's innocent victims: 'They tried to kill me with my kids'


Cartels kill innocent people all the time.


Maybe obama shouldn't have given them guns.

That's why a WALL is a good idea.

Until the State Dept declares them terrorist organizations, it will be a police action.

What's Mexico doing about it?
