Trump is so dumb. We are ensuring the next generation of terrorists truly hates America.
I cannot believe the cheerleaders here for mass murder and destruction.
How idiotic!
Has there ever been a generation of terrorists that did not hate America???
If you are not cheering on the US then you are a cheerleader for the Iranian regime, terrorists who have been bass murdering people for 47 years. In January of this year they slaughtered up to 45k of their own people for peacefully protesting against their tyranny.
People on the Left who try to take the moral high ground always end up looking like fools.
To answer the question, yes there have been many generation of Iranians that didn't hate America, and were not terrorists. With each new generation of Middle Easterners, we renew their hatred of America since the 70s. It doesn't have to be that way.
I think we are plenty willing to sacrifice Americans simply because it keeps the war machine going. Simple as that.
What is idiotic is your post which assumes there will always be terrorists in the Middle East that want to kill Americans.
If you knew anything about the history of Islam you would not demonstrate such ignorance. Ever since Muhammad, Muslims have hated "infidels" and wanted to kill them, meaning us. It's still true today, especially among the more fanatical. Are you aware that Iran has called the US "the Great Satan" since 1979? They hate us because we are not Muslims and as the most powerful country, the greatest obstacle to all their ambitions.
Blaming the US, Israel, or the west in general is merely blaming the victims.
Muslims consider pagans to be infidels, not Christians or Jews.
that is blatantly false, and you know it
He is, for once, correct. Islam claims the entire Judeo-Christian tradition as its own. Jesus is the most frequently mentioned person in the Koran. Moses is mentioned 136 times. Muhammad is merely the last in a long line of Jewish/Christian prophets. Muslims are instructed to consider Christians & Jews are "peoples of the book," to be treated better than the "polytheists," whose existence is is an outrage. Islam is irritably intolerant of "shirk."
The islamists typically justify their attacks on Christianity as a form of shirk (the "Trinity" being defined as polytheism). They typically justify their attacks on Jews by virtue of the existence of a Jewish state in islamic lands (denying sharia).
the book may explicitly say one thing, and the people can explicitly interpret differently. That's true of all religious books, but they are plenty of Muslims that extend "infidel" to include any non-Muslim or anyone who doesn't believe Mohammed was the "chosen profit of god".
Yep,
100%
Time out. What does the Quaran say? It does not say kill all infidels. Infidel is someone that doesn't believe in a particular Religion, Christians used the term as well. Check out 2 Corinthians in older versions or 1 Timothy in the Bible. The bathrooms in Saudi were marked Infidels for non-Moslems.
Did Jim Jones speak for Penticostals and David Koresch 7th Day Adventist?
There are extremist in every Religion.
This is gonna turn a Iran war threat into a religion thread...but ok
Simply to say that Jim Jones cult of Marxist-like social justice mixed with Pentecostalism was well outside the mainstream for that religion.
David Koresh's sect (Branch Davidians) were a small break off of the 7th Day Adventists (Victor Houteff who start the Branch Davidians/Shepard's Rod... was literally excommunicated by the 7th Day Adventist Church)

Acceptable to point out radical Islamists are not the majority of Muslims....but harder to say their actions are not aligned with Islamic history and the actions/beliefs of Muhammed and the early Muslim leadership.
If an Amish war cult began tomorrow it would be easy to point out how their actions did not correspond to Amish historic belief & actions...or the teachings of Jesus.
Harder to do so with Jihadist groups
[History clearly shows how Islam was spread by the sword from its very beginning. Even in the Rashidun era, the four Caliphs exactly after Muhammad, war and violence remained a policy through all of their existence. And still went on during the Umayyad & Abbasid eras of Islamic expansion. Violence existed since the birth of the Faith to this very day.
When we read the Medinan verses which abrogate the Meccan ones, we can see that disbelief in Allah and Muhammad as his prophet already constitutes an offence. This literal reading is also confirmed by the hadith (Bukhari & Muslim) of the related verse.
Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman once said in a lecture that "Quran has a surah called spoils of war. But it does not have a surah called peace. If you take Jihad & killing out of Islam, you are cutting its head off."
A common apologist defense is that the radicals are only a tiny minority of the ummah, and they have misunderstood the text. But that then begs the question, has Islam been misunderstood for 14 centuries?]
