War is ugly... it is horrible... it is the worst experience of my life.
War proved to me the merits of private gun ownership.
The Paris attacks could never happen here... legal U.S. gun owners would have mowed these guys down very quickly....
The 90 killers who carried out mass shootings in the U.S. amounted to five times as many as the next highest country, the Philippines, according to his research.
Adjusting for population, the difference was smaller: The number of public mass shooters for the U.S. was 65% higher per capita than the per capita rate for the Philippines.

I fail to see your logic. Are there not more mass shootings in the US than any other country in the world?

Yeah right.
Slaughtering a few million people and destroying their spiritual home will end extremism right away. There's no way something like that would create thousands of attacks on the West and westerners. Not a chance that it would create generations of hatred against the USA and anyone involved.
The Nazis tried that too and their reputation and empire is doing just...
I think that it is time to admit that muslims are not the best neighbors...

I posted a thread earlier with a solution to this whole mess. I was censored... So much for "deny ignorance"... wanna bet that I get banned? MUSLIMS ARE THE PROBLEM.

Within hours of the Paris Muslim terror attacks, Salon.com was ready to defend not the dead innocents, but the religion of peace and its delicate feelings.
I guess we wouldn't want to say anything that would hurt their feelings when they are murdering innocent citizens of Paris at dinner, a soccer game or a concert.
I gotta be honest...this was/is unbelievable...the blood of the dead is still running on the streets of Paris with over 160 dead and Salon.com is concerned with hate speech...
What am I missing???
I don't recall my grandfather being preliminarily chastised for calling Japanese soldiers rapists after their jaunt in Nanking....
*****and to answer the question, I went to salon to read a friend of mine who writes for them...though my disgust at the home page made any further browsing impossible...

Y'know, we have to talk about this eh. Sweeping a serious social problem under the carpet for the sake of political correctness is not going to solve anything.

It's little comments like this I believe causes more damage. Clearly! This particular religion is a pain the ass for everyone and please don't deny that. It really is a royal pain in the ass. And not just a few trouble makers, a lot. Like hundreds of thousands. By not being able to call out the entire ideology on this and deal with it head on, by burying our heads and pretending there's nothing seriously effed up in their culture, it will never get resolved. By stigmatizing the discussion makes it too taboo to even talk about. That's not right. We need to talk about this, openly and transparently.
