It's not the left enabling radicalization of immigrants, it's the right insisting they aren't welcome, disenfranchising them at the ballot box, harassing them in the street, vandalizing their institutions and property, and even generations later after doing everything to make poverty intergenerational, questioning their citizenship and loyalty and contribution.
- what part of the world are you talking about here?IRNlun6
- Is it the rights fault that ISIS just recently took over a city in the Philippines and is systematically slaughtering people?IRNlun6
- Look at the last two days of posts in the thread for a hint.i_monk

- @IRN - ISIS does not equal Muslims - this is where your small brain malfunctions. ISIS is around 100,000 (mainly brainwashed) of 1.6billion people.fadein11
- Do the mathsfadein11
- ISIS is global. They want you convert or die. Disenfranchisement doesn't drive people to slaughter indiscriminately.IRNlun6
- oh you silly man - ISIS is not ISLAM - stop getting them confused.fadein11
- ISIS is christian... everyone knows that... jeez, guize, c'mon.PonyBoy
- ... or wait... they're actually derived from Buddhism... right?... wait... no... um... ... Judaism? Gosh... where did ISIS get their belief system?PonyBoy
- Yes, even my small brain can recognize it's more nuanced. I never blamed your faith and understand perfectly why you want zero association with those people.IRNlun6
- They on the other hand would gravely disagree with you on not being muslims. It doesn't take many to create that black swan type event Nassim Taleb coined.IRNlun6
- oh god - more arguments over semantics - you all got the point. Extremists exist in all religions throughout the ages. You are being spun, wake up. The warfadein11
- machine goes on.fadein11
- There were 17 million Germans that voted in the nazis but not all of them were genocidal maniacs, most were peaceful law abiding citizens._niko
- Yet we have no problem vilifying the nazis for the actions of a few._niko
- thanks nikofadein11
- And Isis members start off as law abiding good peaceful Muslims but for whatever reason they turn. So it's natural to look at them with suspicion_niko
- doesn't mean nazis weren't germanIRNlun6
- Thinking will this good Muslim become radicalized and blow up 100 people one day? You don't really say the same for Christians or Buddhists or atheists_niko
- and we do have a problem vilifying the few because many minimize the problem or even agree that it exists in the first place.IRNlun6
- I think it's how our brain is wired, Monsanto might do so much good in this world, feeding the planet but we vilify it because of its stand on gmos_niko
- We look at things as a whole and judge them by their worst. Right or ring that's how we look at brands and everything else._niko
- It's all blowback from decades of horrific abuse of the region. If you believe people are intrinsically evil then you have major issues.fadein11
- Unfortunately especially in the west all news about Muslims is negative 99% of it is about some atrocity. This doesn't help the brand._niko
- We don't hear about innovations, advances in technology and science, advances in medicine, arts, culture literature... all we get is the shit._niko
- So right or ring it's hard for the average person to defend Islam if all they ever see is the worst of it._niko
- yepfadein11
- branding is a very good analogyIRNlun6
- @niko - but those who base all their beliefs on what has been spoon fed to them by the media are probably a lost cause anywayfadein11
- lol fadein I've taken a step back and you've totally turned in to me. lol @ small brainset
- This thread is hilarious. Keep em coming...Cactus
