“It must be incredibly frustrating as an Islamic terrorist not to have your views and motives taken seriously by the societies you terrorize, even after you have explicitly and repeatedly stated them.
Even worse, those on the regressive left, in their endless capacity for masochism and self-loathing, have attempted to shift blame inwardly on themselves, denying the terrorists even the satisfaction of claiming responsibility.
It’s like a bad Monty Python sketch:
“We did this because our holy texts exhort us to to do it.â€
“No you didn’t.â€
“Wait, what? Yes we did…â€
“No, this has nothing to do with religion. You guys are just using religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons.â€
“WHAT!? Did you even read our official statement? We give explicit Quranic justification. This is jihad, a holy crusade against pagans, blasphemers, and disbelievers.â€
“No, this is definitely not a Muslim thing. You guys are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so.â€

Kinda hard to read FR with these stupid things
Liberal non muslims think they know better what a “real” muslim is, than the actual muslims do.
They think this way about everthing so it’s hardly a surprise.
I didn’t add them. They simply appeared.
It’s funny, isn’t it? They always know the “real” everything. They know what “real” communism is, they know what “real” Islam is, they know what “real” Christianity is, they know what “real” masculinity is, what “real” love is... I mean, they are just instant experts on everything! Reminds me of that 90s song by Jesus Jones, “Real, real, real.”
Underlying their self-loathing is ingratitude. Such people generally hate something about their own bodies, intellects, innate abilities, appearances, etc., and because they are always unfavorably comparing what they have or are with what someone else (other) is or has they resent and hate “other” and punish them in a variety of ways. Ungrateful resentment mongers invariably vent their spleen in terms such as “that’s unfair!” and in accusations against hated “other” such as “homophobe,” “heterosexist” “hater” “bigot” “racist” and on and on ad nauseum.
Leftists seriously believe that because western countries went into the mideast and developed the oil industry (thereby making millionaires and billionaires out of people who had no idea how to drill a well for water), those desert-dwelling Muslims were forced to go on jihad. Of course, tiny Israel is also the default evil country forcing those poor, oppressed Muslims to slaughter everybody.
Leftists eagerly offer their bare throats to their killers hoping for mercy. That makes liberals as big a danger to western civilization and the killer Muslims.

They are artefacts from the cut and paste.
For instance “ is actually a double quote (”) copied from another site.
I guess it is not in the character set used by FR.
Pretend the A%a doohickies aren’t there. Sorta like I try
to pretend “Progressives” aren’t there.
If “Jihadists” come out here; they’re gonna be in for
some major surprises. We live remote; and are sort of
not very “progressive”.
From what I see, the apostrophes or hyphens or other punctuation is written in ANSI text form, like in Windows Notepad, everything is OK. But if print from a fancy-fonted blog is imported into Notepad, it doesn't change the left and right quotations -- single or double -- or question marks or em-dashes into ANSI. Then FR's html converter gives it another interpretation like you say.
What the poster has to do is:
(1) DON'T use a word processor with fancy fonts to paste texting into the FR comment entry box or post editor
(2) DO go through any stuff that you've pasted and convert the non-alphanumeric characters to ANSI by overwriting them by typing them in again using what the FR text editor supplies.
That's what I think I've seen and had to do here.

Going through and retyping the quotations in tje FR comment editor box results in:
"It must be incredibly frustrating as an Islamic terrorist not to have your views and motives taken seriously by the societies you terrorize, even after you have explicitly and repeatedly stated them.

The fact people have to do those things is a joke. Ancient old ass software that somehow require 80k a quarter is such a scam
Agreed. My tag line used to be The hallmarks of liberalism: ingratitude and envy.
No. It is a single change now (very recently) in a NEW Windows 7-8-10 update.
It did not EVER happen before Bill Gates forced the world into Windows 10.
Oh boo hoo. Old outdated software isn’t compatible. Wahhhh
If you think so. There are some options.
It reminds me very much of Tom Wolfe’s famous essay/article “Radical Chic”.
I live very remote; the only thing I know about progressive is another cord of wood is progress.
If your talking about Prog/Lib/Socialist/Commie/Democrat/Idiots, I know all I need to know about that particular type of sludge.
I hear you. I have about 5 cords set aside for my wood boiler.
