No, he was a warrior - neither a terrorist nor a mass murderer.

Islam is a cult. Think of Scientology.

Many members who are just there and doing their thing. They are still members of their community and associate with their family.

Some members are radical and detached. They are the ones that are easy to identify.

Other members stay in touch with family/friends and their community but slowly start to change, becoming more detached over time. The cult is absorbing them.

The cult is self-sustaining. It draws members from all walks of life. But it constantly generates the most radical members.

As the cult gains wins, it draws in more of the “fair-weather” fans who were considered moderate previously. They want to be part of the action, help contribute to the success of the cult.

This is how people should view islam, including those who are moderates.

It’s time to come up with a new idea for dealing with the aftermath of terrorism. Candles and flowers are a sop to the weak-willed who are driven by emotion and nothing else. I prefer action instead of empty emotional theater. It’s long past time to round these people up and imprison or deport them. If that seems to drastic, remember that it’s not nearly as drastic as the shooting war that will come if we continue to do nothing except sing kumbaya.

According to: https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ there have been almost 31,000 deadly terrorist attacks by Muslims since 9/11/2001.

To be fair, there are nearly a billion Muslims who did not engage in such attacks, and there are several dozen Muslims who disapprove of those attacks. Further, there were (probably) hundreds of deadly terrorist attacks from the non-Muslim 5/6 of the world’s population in the same time period.

And the Kamakazis were not Japanese. Because most Japanese were peaceful. Most Germans were peaceful too.

They just don't have the resources or expertise, the koranimals are commanded to "kill thy neighbor as thyself".

...there are several dozen Muslims who disapprove of those attacks

Good, then they should be hired to identify and round up all the millions that do.

No, there "probably" are not.

A "moderate" mozlum, is simply one that doesn't have any bullets.

non-Muslims are really in no position to say who is a Muslim and who is not.

That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard in my life...Of course we are.

If someone emulates the look or actions of the death-cultists, they should be considered "persons of interest" and watched like a hawk, regardless of skin color or national origin.

Let them prove otherwise.

Who cares if they are a "true moslem"?

I imagine that most of the Muslims in Manchester are aghast at this atrocity.

But, you may imagine wrong.

The reality is that not all Muslims are terrorist

Until they are terrorists. Sort of like a pitbull. "Gee, its wierd, he never did that before."

Some muslims act on their beliefs, and some do not.

And those that do not act; nonetheless, support those that do act.There is never condemnation from those that do not act.

It will stop when the Imams stop it and not until then.

It will stop when the WE stop it. There's no reason in a civilized world for this worthless "religion" to exist. We need to declare it a terrorist cult.

It does nothing to make people better, but encourages lying, cheating, violence, rape and murder. Sharia law (islam) is completely contrary to the rights, freedoms and liberty guaranteed by our Constitution.

It's a death-cult bent on world domination.

I thought modern women were warriors.

I’m confused...

If the belief that all Muslims are terrorist prevails then the world body must prepare to wage war on 1.5 billion people because they are trying to kill us.

If the belief that all infidels are subhuman prevails then the Ummah must wage war on the rest of the world because they they are not human (muslim).

The 1.5 billion really would have no problem feeding
the rest of us to the ovens.

OK Mr. Mayor - we keep being told that real problem is because Muslims feel marginalized, so if criticizing Islam creates terrorists then how can the resulting terrorism have nothing to do with Islam?

“As the cult gains wins, it draws in more of the “fair-weather” fans who were considered moderate previously. They want to be part of the action, help contribute to the success of the cult.”

Well said, this is the second generation phenomenon we see, where the second generation is more violent. The second generation grows up with the relative comfort of western welfare systems or the possibly the middle class. Exposed to western culture, music, the must have sneakers -typical teenager stuff. Not particularly devout. They’ve lived a pampered, possibly decadent, existence relative to the majority of Muslims around the world. All a source of guilt the can be used to recruit them into radicalism.

This is the mindset that gives victory to the terrorists. This is what will bring down the west.
