Where the Black Flags Fly

There is no civilization where the black flags fly. ISIS is how Islam has been settling questions of theology since the 7th century

Media conveys immediacy, but it doesn’t convey culture. Its famous flattening effect makes shoppers at a Staples in D.C. or a Whole Foods in Berkeley feel like they’re right among the toppled buildings of Aleppo or Gaza, without actually giving them any insight into the motivations of the players.

They’re watching foreign movies in a language that they don’t understand and attributing their own motivations to the main characters. They assume that the differences are incidental, but if the differences really were incidental, America would look a lot more like Iraq.

It’s been a while since Westerners lived in a society in which human life was truly worthless, in which no one trusted anyone else and it was easier to kill than not to kill.

The awful truth by Greenfield. The inherent problems of the people there transcend any particular religion for many. However, Islam appeals to many for it’s approval of death to heretics and Jews and its oppression of females. Islam has the largest appeal to the most stupid, violent, and sexist of the world’s males.

Greenfieild is a genius.

The question isn’t why should they kill, it’s why should they stop? The peace proposals never get anywhere. If you reward violence with concessions, there’s no reason for it to ever stop. And if you don’t, what else is there to do?

The answer is obvious and sorely overdue. Kill them. Kill the violent ones first and the ones who sent them as soon as possible thereafter. Rinse and repeat. This not the recourse of someone "as bad as they are", it is a recourse that has been forced upon us.
