It’s as simple as understanding bad shit happens in war. Whether carpet bombing in Vietnam, the firestorm iDresden during WWWii, or the nukes in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.I get that. But my heart is hardened here. Just as it would have been in 1945. I truly consider Islam to be an authoritarian threat. A death cult.
So its not making light imo, its just acknowledging the true horror with stoicism.
I have to read anything that analyses the extent to which the ordinary Gaza population is / isn't on board with what HAMAS did or is doing.I get that. But my heart is hardened here. Just as it would have been in 1945. I truly consider Islam to be an authoritarian threat. A death cult.

I won't deny Islamophobia...but I've lived in Riyadh (Saudi) for quite a short time and realize the culture is quite different and they are very strict....If you are against the death penalty, middle east isn't the place for you....If you believe women should have equal rights, middle east isn't the place for you...if you believe in LGBTQ rights, middle east isn't the place for you....now the question is, is it because of their religion or not? it's quite easy to throw around opinion (not you particularly @Kautilya ) in a internet forum but it's as real as it gets....That is Islamaphobia and racism. You need to change your views by educating yourself.
mare you kidding? More complicated than building a huge tunnels system under buildings, schools, hospitals? Mosques etc. get a grip and stop apologizing for blood thirsty terrorists.Building shelters for 2.2M people presents a much larger and more complex logistical nightmare. But yes even if they could they wouldn't. They could care less about Palestinian lives.
Its not though, its realism.That is Islamaphobia and racism. You need to change your views by educating yourself
I would even argue the KKK isnt as dangerous as radical IslamI won't deny Islamophobia...but I've lived in Riyadh (Saudi) for quite a short time and realize the culture is quite different and they are very strict....If you are against the death penalty, middle east isn't the place for you....If you believe women should have equal rights, middle east isn't the place for you...if you believe in LGBTQ rights, middle east isn't the place for you....now the question is, is it because of their religion or not? it's quite easy to throw around opinion (not you particularly @Kautilya ) in a internet forum but it's as real as it gets....
Only if you are white.I would even argue the KKK isnt as dangerous as radical Islam
I've never encountered a KKK member so I won't speak on that...LoLI would even argue the KKK isnt as dangerous as radical Islam
Looks like Hamas is in a killing spree everyday....
Had never considered that analogy. I suspect ISIS alone makes the kkk look tame.Only if you are white.
DOn't get me wrong...i made a lot of friends there...most arabs I met are fascinated with the western world....most would love to move...what I do find out from some are that most successful ones are the ones that enjoy being there...the working class not so much...I rarely discuss beliefs with the friends I made...I'm not really one who pry on other peoples lives...they do lecture me on the do's and donts...but there's always that feeling of walking on thin ice just because I'm mostly not savvy with their culture...Oh yeah for sure. Our values and their values don't align. That is okay. But to consider them evil, a death cult etc, because of a few terrorists is what I was referring to.
I have a Muslim friend who moved to Riyadh incidentally and he loves it because a) He is very religious and b) He says he loves the fact that there is no crime, no taxes etc., To each their own, but it isn't for me. But I won't hate anyone for being religious, devout or overtly conservative.
It is only a problem when they start hating on me lol.
