"I don't want to seem argumentative here, but we're talking about - on the one hand - a billion people. And - on the other - twelve years which have resulted in a handful of attacks."
There have been hundreds of attacks worldwide, of varying degree, and there have been hundreds more foiled by authorities. There are radical Islamist cells worldwide, with membership in the hundreds of thousands, including hangers-on, and with millions of dollars at their disposal.
"Yes this is a global war and yes it is more serious than you can ever imagine."
But there's no evidence that would support that claim. I don't want to seem argumentative here, but we're talking about - on the one hand - a billion people. And - on the other - twelve years which have resulted in a handful of attacks.
And you're claiming that's a global war?
You are WRONG. They have been at war with the west since before the 1972 Olympics. Remember that 'hostage crisis'? Going back to 1967 they were attacking Isreal.
Yes this is a global war. India, Philipines, Malaysia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Algeria, Albania, Turkey, Chechnya, Russia, Somalia, Spain, Israel, Kenya, Germany, Canada, US, England, Lebanon, The Netherlands (Van Geogh murder ring any bells), are all suffering at the hands of Islamo-nazi's.
You have already neglected to mention the subjugation of Lebanon by these same extremist factions going back to the late 70's through today.
Remember, what they have done to Lebanon and Iran, two 'progressive' middle eastern countries after WW2, was merely a dress rehearsal for what they want to accomplish worldwide.
Islamic society does not mix well with others. That is a historic fact. America has been called the melting pot of the world. The Muslims do not subscribe to that and would rather we accept Sharia law than force them to adjust to our way of life. They use our freedoms against us. This is why we have to be ever vigilant against these people.
You mention that it is a small group. Well if it's a 1% claim that you are making them its the 99% that are NOT SPEAKING UP AGAINST THE 1%, identifying them to law enforcement, etc. They have become complicit in the terror.
There are over 30 active conflicts worldwide. One of them is not fueled by Islamo-fascism. You guess which one.
