Specifically, I’m saying your arguments are a load of crap.

Me: Are you saying that there were not Soviet Afghanis that later went on to be mislabeled as Muslim fundamentalists by the MSM? Are you saying that many of the major terrorist groups in the Middle East are not secular Communists or socialists? Are you saying that many, if not the majority of suicide bombers in the Middle East and South Asia are not socialists/Communists? Be specific!

T-Logic: Specifically, I’m saying your arguments are a load of crap.


Let’s start with suicide bombers. Robert Pape conducted a study of suicide bombers around the world. He found that the vast majority of them were Communist/Socialist. For example, take the suicide bombing campaign waged by Hezbollah (the so-called “Party of God”) in Lebanon. According to Pape:

“I had colleagues scour Lebanese sources to collect martyr videos, pictures and testimonials and biographies of the Hizbollah bombers. Of the 41, we identified the names, birth places and other personal data for 38. We were shocked to find that only eight were Islamic fundamentalists; 27 were from leftist political groups such as the Lebanese Communist Party and the Arab Socialist Union; three were Christians, including a female secondary school teacher with a college degree. All were born in Lebanon.”

In short, an astonishing 71% of the suicide bombers who blew themselves up on behalf of the Iranian-backed “Party of God” were in fact atheistic Communists and secular socialists. How do you explain that Tacticalogic???
