Edward Rodriguez89 said:We need to fight Al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia, and the pirates, sure. But the real question is whether Americans actually want to fight them, or if there's some other motive at play here.
In Afghanistan and Iraq, it's the civilians who pay the price while Americans rake in all the cash. That’s just how "Christianity, the religion of peace" works out.
If you ask me, the occupiers need to clear out of everyone else's backyard—and I'm talking about Israel and the US.

Look, Israel is in its own backyard, and once the Americans pull out, then we'll see some actual cleaning up in that region. That's how it should have been handled from day one—instead of throwing our people away in those godforsaken places.

Have you ever actually seen photos of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Damascus, Riyadh, or Mecca? If you had, you wouldn't be calling them backwaters.
So you're basically fine with Muslims dying—nice move. Personally, I’m not going to call Christians fascists or Nazis just because I don't want to stoop to the level of Jews or Arabs who treat everyone like an indistinguishable mass.

Not really, no—it's more that a massive chunk of global trade passes right through those Yemeni coastal waters near the Bab el Mandeb. We're talking everything from Gulf oil to Chinese goods and Japanese cars.
🤣🤣🤣 (had to post that again...)

And as for why Muslims dislike the West, it’s probably due to centuries of lying, cheating, exploitation, killing, and theft. Honestly, I doubt Iraqis or Yemenis give a damn whether Americans are free to say whatever they want or live however they choose.

Sure, so what if I was wrong? In what way could those losers actually threaten traffic in that strait enough to make Europe and the USA care about that backwater—not even just for their own sake, but for China's too? Oh, and you forgot about Yemeni gas, didn't you?

Linda Howard4 said:You hit the nail on the head. It all boils down to pure degeneracy, a forced renaissance of chaos, the systematic looting of the working class, blatant theft, and outright murder. It makes you wonder: what kind of twisted soul has to become a terrorist just to harbor such deep-seated hatred for every single one of the values that define our civilization?🤷

And once again, it is crystal clear to me exactly why you would be so fundamentally opposed to removing that first item from the list.👍

Listen, as a Muslim, you aren't even capable of holding a different opinion. It's common knowledge that you people live in the West while hating Western society from the bottom of your hearts. Why would you be any different?

P.S. It is interesting how you two found yourselves discussing pansies when I didn't even mention them. What does that say🙄?

That's an idiot expression pushed by the American Christian right. Can you name even one single country founded on "Judeo-Christian civilization"?

Judaism was the first monotheistic religion, and Christianity emerged from it. The first Christians were Jews. Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, Joseph, Moses, and all the saints we Christians pray to were all Jewish. So I'll ask you again: what exactly is so idiotic about the term Judeo-Christian civilization?

Look, I've seen those cities, though obviously not Mecca—since Christians aren't allowed in there—while your Prince Abdullah from Arabia can stroll right into Vatican City to see our Pope. Between the Chechens and their terrorism, they've basically forced Russia into a pact with Israel; otherwise, Iran would be Moscow's main ally. Muslims turn friends into enemies all over the world—just look at China, where a Muslim province is rebelling against Beijing. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if China eventually sides with Israel too.

You rarely hear that phrase outside of American Christian right-wing circles, and honestly, they mostly just spout nonsense. Most of Europe and North America belong to Western civilization, which isn't solely defined by Christianity and Judaism.

Saudi Arabia is a major ally of Israel when it comes to fighting Muslim nations ruled by Wahhabis who carry out terrorist attacks against both Israel and the USA. There's nothing surprising about that.

And don't forget—there are even radical American Muslims on the CIA's most-wanted list.

Extremism is the biggest threat facing the Arab world.
It would be a lot smarter if they actually invested in their own think tanks. There's no limit to how much intelligence you can pump through a barrel.
