Why Americans Don’t Care About ISIS
Townhall.com ^ | March 23, 2015 | Rachel Alexander

Posted on 03/23/2015 4:18:05 AM PDT by Biggirl

Lately, conservative pundits like Glenn Beck and Hugh Hewitt have been questioning why America seems so apathetic about ISIS. Beck says Americans don’t realize how serious Islamic terrorism has become; we are on the verge of World War III.

ISIS largely kills muslims. That doesn’t bother me. The asswipe in the White House isn’t going to do anything anyway so let ISIS murder muslims for 22 more months and then let president Cruz/Walker/Rubio destroy them.

That’s a plan I can live with if we can last that long.

Democrats have declared ISIS to be the fault of Bush which they seem to think absolves them of responsibility.

I like your statement, I just hope it’s not wishful thinking.

It’s not just ISIS, it’s ANY Islam. Americans are ignorant, do not know what the Koran teaches, and are so focused on earning more money than they need and on being entertained. Modern day Babylon partying while the Medes and Persians divert the river and prepare to march through the river gates.

You are correct

ISIS is in effect the Islamic counter reformation coupled with the ancient sunni/shia animosity overlain by the politics of wealth and territorial control.

The emergence of modern technology coupled with explosive growth of populations and economies forced the evolution of Islam. To the ultra conservatives both shia and sunni, that became intolerable. ISIL or Daiish is the misguided attempt to reverse that change, to undo the evolution.

Time and blood in the streets are the only remedy.

We have figured out that we have a muzzie POTUS and he won’t do a damn thing of importance to fight ‘em as long as he’s POTUS.

We also know that because he’s half-BLACK the RINOS won’t impeach him.

We’re stuck for the next two years—at least.

All muslim terrorist groups largely kill muslims. So, guess we shouldn’t be concerned with any of them, right?

WW3 has already begun

You might say it began as a cold war in that ... SUBMISSIOM waged active, bloody war on it's own people in its own land(s) to show the world it existed and was real and was serious

THEN ... SUBMISSION entered each and every nation it could to populate it with its own people (ideology) and infiltrated the political scheme of each nation

THEN ... SUBMISSION began actively legislating within the political schemes of each nation, artificially validating itself as legitimate


No Glenn ... stop being a shill ... the war has begun, it IS in your neighborhood and it IS deadly

TEST QUESTION;
If a United Staes citizen believes he is free and alive, but is actually not free ... is he dead ?

In war ... that's called a casualty

Because they care more about Oprah Winfrey or “Dr Phil” or “The View”.

“It’s not just ISIS, it’s ANY Islam. Americans are ignorant, do not know what the Koran teaches, and are so focused on earning more money than they need and on being entertained. “

Actually half the population is barely literate and dependent on government and doesn’t care about anything except their government checks, sex, reality television, and sports. Unless the barbarians are at the gates, threatening to cut off the gravy, they don’t care about what is happening in the rest of the world.

The other half of the population is burned out working to support the non producers. Unless the barbarians are at the gate threatening their lives they don’t have the time or energy to care.

One advantage of our geographic location, is our population is not at risk from land based armies and fighting in other parts of the world. As long as airliners aren’t crashing into buildings, or being blown from the skies, most Americans feel safe from foreign threats.

As to the few who do care, they have no political power. Obama is going to do nothing about Islamic terrorists in general, or Isis specifically. The Republican Congress is not going to fight Obama. Hence, even if you care, why spend time and energy tilting at windmills?

They kill quite a few Christians as well. They are despicable and should not be dismissed.

Your point is every bit as valid as #2, which I also agree with.

Liberals care.

The actually want muslims to kill every Jew and Christian on the planet.

They’re nutless nazis who think letting someone else do the job will keep their hands clean.

I mentioned on FR a couple of weeks ago a dinner conversation with family and friends wherein when I mentioned the problem in Britain with the musloids everyone mumbled something and put their face down in their plates. Almost in sync. The entire conversation revolved around entertainment. TV shows, movies, celebrities. I remember, even as a kid, sitting around the dinner table talking about what was going on in the world. Then again, my Dad was a news junkie and imbued in me a love of history. Unfortunately I do believe we have become far more ignorant as a society.
