They arent any different now then they always have been.
They now have power, unlimited funds, and willing friends in Russia and China all too happy to supply the cause with advanced weapons and technological expertise -and it's on call...
They've simply bribed or intimidated our leaders into selling us out...
imo
If you're suggesting that Islamists aren't jealous of America because American TV shows are full of idiocy and decadence, all I can say is, "would that were true."
You will notice that the modern era of Islamic terrorism (beginning around the time of the Munich Olympics) coincided with the average Muslim having access to television sets and, for the first time, realizing that they were living in Godforsaken hell holes compared to the West, and specifically, the United States. Coincidence? Maybe. But it is definitely NOT coincidence that, in times of war or peace, poverty or prosperity, good news or bad, Islamists seek the downfall of the United States. That is a sign of deep, abiding envy, not hatred.
But what good does it do? How long before a culture moves in and makes what they came here for look like a little piece of where they came from?
Ha ha! That's it exactly. I've heard Islamics say that their ambition is to turn the entire world into one pan-Islamic state. But what would they DO with it?? Would they threaten people like Bill Gates and Donald Trump that, unless they continue to be incredibly successful and provide employment for thousands, they will be hanged? Would they put to death any actress who appears in a sex scene? Would all the Der Weinerschizels be burnt down? (ooh that last one hurt).
"Would all the Der Weinerschizels be burnt down? (ooh that last one hurt)."
Haha, like the Soup Nazi, "no more kraut dogs for YOU!"
Yeah, you're right, and I knew that being from CA you'd know firsthand, as I do being from TX, how our immigrants can make whole neighborhoods look like little Mexico, little Middle East, or little Asia.
I kind like little Italy, though. ;p

Where are the daisy cutters when we need them?
