Horrible. I have no words.This link is not for the faint of heart. I suggest you do not let children of tender age read this. In the article, there's a statement to the effect that we're seeing genocide not committed in generations...

The answer is very simple. A peaceful individual does not act in such a way. Since peaceful individuals do not at in such a way, it stands to reason that members of a "religion of peace" would also not act in this manner. The actions of the individuals who perform these acts of terrorism and genocide cannot be those of peaceful individuals or those of any so called religion of peace. And since the individuals who perform such atrocities claim to be Islamic, it also only stands to reason that Islam IS NOT a Religion of Peace. It is only one of terrorism and hate.I debated opening the link bc of what I was going to see. It is one thing for men to fight and kill each other but it's entirely different when 'men' murder and kill innocent women and children. My blood is boiling after seeing and reading this article. If Islam is the 'religion of peace' I have a very difficult time understanding their actions. The Muslim world with some sense should be leading the charge against this type of behavior, if they really believe what that say about their religion. I will not put down what I really think and feel bc Earle would boot me off here forever. The entire world needs to unite against these people.
It takes guts to show the horror these people are capable of. Everyone, (sans kids) needs to be aware of this behavior.As I said in Brad's thread - I started to post this link in Brad's thread, but I was afraid that it would just get lost. I thought it deserved more attention...
I don't like to post political things on FB - in fact, I'm generally apolitical - it seems to me that politics are a man-made game and have become so divisive and polarizing that they don't do any good.
I don't think this is political, I think it's about right and wrong.
The world is rarely black and white - it's simply full of grey. World views differ and it explains why we have a hard time understanding other cultures at times. It's tough to remember that just because someone feels differently then we do it doesn't necessarily make them wrong.
That said, anytime a group murders innocent men, women, and children, there's no grey anymore - that's a black and white issue, and it's completely wrong. I don't care what one's world view is, I will not ever accept that that behavior is acceptable.
This is not a political issue, it's one of good vs evil. These US airstrike against ISIS are the first I can recall where I'm ok seeing my taxes being used to wage war.
I've struggled with this, I don't really want to talk about it, but it seems almost no one is, and I think we need to be.
I'm also open to hearing viewpoints that differ from mine. But I'll admit I'll have a hard time hearing any argument that accepts the murder of innocent people.
I'm not even sure why I'm posting this, I guess I just need to vent. My heart is heavy right now...
that is their viewpoint. That has been the militant/extremist Muslim viewpoint for years (if the infidel doesn't convert, he must be taken out so he can't subvert the Islamic stat in the future). These folks are taking it to a more sadistic level I think and we have more social media outlets to get the brutality out there.Maybe their idea of peace is that peace will be achieved once everyone else is dead.
Ding, ding ding! We have a winner, give that man a cigar. I'm not naive enough to believe that all Muslims feel this way, but it is a fundamental teaching of the Koran that you give an infidel a chance to repent and convert, and if he does not, then he receives the sword. That is what the fundamentalist are taught to believe from the day they can understand communication, so this kind of genocide should shock no one. Any religion can be misused for violent gains, but this one more so than any other in our modern world.Maybe their idea of peace is that peace will be achieved once everyone else is dead.
I'm afraid you're dead right...Maybe their idea of peace is that peace will be achieved once everyone else is dead.
While I agree something needs to be done, why do we need to be the policemen? Let the Turks, Saudis and Iranians deal with it. The bigger problem is we should have never invaded Iraq to begin with. Saddam may have been brutal, but I don't think he was disgustingly sick like these people are. Apparently, he knew how to keep the "people" in check. Thanks W and daddy.This is the exact link I had seen when I said not to google what they are doing in the other thread. They are monsters over there, and that is giving monsters a bad name. We HAVE to act to STOP ISIS from doing this. Air strikes just aren't enough, I'm afraid. After the last 2 wars I have turned ever more the "isolationist", but this cannot be ignored. We shouldn't let these so and so's run a roadside cafe, much less run the risk of them running a country.
I have none. I've come to expect this from Muslims and the religion of peace. The Iraqi soldiers are cowards. Drop weapons and supplies to the Kurds and let them scrap it out and provide them air support, but let's not have any boots on the ground.Where is all the outrage?
