Quote: dreadlocks previously said: JEM, to most people, islam is just a different religion, loaded with lunatic folks. it is an abstraction, and so are its people. the average guy understands these people from press releases and media talking points, but have never met with, or spoken at length, with a real islamist. i met with one such person some time back, and, i have to tell you, it is a different mindset. these guys see the west as mortal enemy, and any disagreement with them to be the central core of their being. i can assure you that they cannot, and will not, be defeated by military means. there is a bond between them all, a brotherhood which binds them. you fight against them in iraq, you might as well be fighting against them in indonesia. it is only simple minded people who believe that these guys will be overpowered by the might of the west. to them, dying is honor. first rule of battle; never fight against people who are more willing to die than you are. westerners put on a brave face and go to war, but they all want to live and come home. all american soldiers hope to get back to see Betty Sue. islamists do not think in terms of returning from battle. they do not go to battle with time deployments, and pack up and go home after a year. they are in it till they die, with the only aim being to inflict as much damage as possible on the infidel. just looking into the eyes of that guy scared me; there is an intensity i have never seen in any other person. Extremism is an ideology; you can not kill an idea. The thought/ idea of socialism have not died yet. Hitler could not kill Judaism; killing Jesus did not kill his teachings. Killing Trujillo did not kill corruption in DR. Killing Thousands of Dominicans and Caamaño did not kill the Dominicans desire for a true democracy. |

Quote: dreadlocks previously said: Carlos, have you ever had an in depth conversation with a real islamist? are you hypothesising, and theorising, or are you speaking from a point of real understanding? you really equate the kamikaze pilots from japan in world war2, who were caught up in the heat of battle, with a 12 year old guy who straps explosives to himself and blows up a mall? i have one question, which could end this debate for all time. how do you use military force to defeat ideology? if you can tell me how, then we can end this argument. only thing is, you have to tell me how you can tell that you have won. Dreadlocks... You ask really DUMB questions. No i have not had a conversation with an islamic terrorist... and i don't need to... somethings are just plain logical. If these terrorist states or agencies had those F-22s and Abrams tanks and Tomhawk missile they wouldn't be blowing themselves up... SIMPLE LOGIC Japenese soldier were used by their high commands using techniques that questioned their honor and since this is very important for the japanese soldiers and japanese society overall, they were in a way forced to kill themselves. I saw those techniques in a history channel program... The moscow theater terrorist attack were conducted by two muslim men and the rest were women... Who were these women???... They were the wifes of the soldiers the Russians killed when they were in the Army... You see Dreadlocks... these people aren't doing it because they just wake up one morning and feel like blowing themselves up. they have had serious losses and thats when people become vulnerable to be talked into killing themselves in suicide attacks. Its easy and simple for people like Jem who have never experience these things to assume how she would feel had these things happened to her... I have given real facts... Check the turning point of WWII in the pacific and check when kamakazi attacks started... GOOGLE IT!!! and then answer the question yourself Edited on 9/4/2008 11:01 PM by CarlosFranco. |

But what if your child is taken away, not by accident or god's will, but by some country intervenction.... wouldn't you be pissed off... The myth that muslims aren't afraid to die is Bullshit... Suicide attacks are acts of desperation not of fearlessness of dying... When did the Japanese Kamakasi suicide attacks started? When it be evident that America was going to win the war Carlos, it was me, not Talia that posted this reply to dreadlocks. And yes, I agree with you, there are things in life worth dying for. I wouldn't say this in regards to the reasons for which Islam extrememists decide to commit suicide by strapping themselves and even young boys with bombs and killing hundreds and thousands of innocent people. That is what I was talking about. I never said that Arabs don't love their children and just because another country intervenes in mine doesn't mean I'm gonna go on a killing spree, even if I would've lost a family member to the foreigners. Two wrongs don't make a right and going on a killing spree isn't going to bring my dead loved one back. In most cases, I would say suicide is cowardice, but in the case of these Muslim extrememists not only is it cowardice but just plain evil and stupid to think that killing yourself and killing innocent people along with you makes you a "martyr" and is in the name of God. That's the real bullshit. No offense, and pardon me if I misunderstood what you said, but it almost seems like your justifying the actions of these extremists. So you imagen that you had a loss and then you imagen your own response... Interesting Jem... you're thinking with a full stomach.... It's very noble hearing you say how you would feel had these tragedy had happened on you when they haven't. I don't justified the killings of anyone but when we fuck with these people they fuck with us, Cause and Effect darling. I don't see arabs blowing up christians in Latin American countries... You know why... Cause we don't fuck with them. Luckily for us, we are all going to vote for McCain and soon enough we'll have nuclear energy like the french and then we won't be fighting energy oriented wars such the Iraq war. |

Read up on some history before you call other people dumb, my friend. When the Muslims were fighting against the Soviets, who helped them? The U.S.A.! We never did anything to Osama bin Laden except allow him to study in our schools, join our military, provide his family with power and protection, and his response for an "infidel" America "who is against Muslims" is to blow up the World Trade Center and kill over 3,000 people! Anyone who supports the U.S. and the Jewish community is all of a sudden against Islam and their enemy. Did you forget about the terrorist attacks in Spain and in London? Did you forget about the people that they beheaded and then put the videos on YouTube? These extrememists have no reasonable cause to hate the U.S. and it's allies so much.

You accused me of justifying the actions of extremist and i gave you a very detail example of why things happens in one place and they don't happen in another... clearly, like dreadlocks, you've learn nothing of the example i have given which can be verified...

PLUS I love the History Channel PS2 I didn't you call you dumb, so don't take an insult for dreadlocks for your own; I would really hate to have to start insulting you, being that you're a woman, i would feel like am abusing you.

Yes, I have the "balls" to tell you to educate yourself because if you claim to know this about Israel this discussion wouldn't be taking place to begin with! I said America isn't going to win a war against a group of people (i.e. muslim extrememists) who don't give a fuck about killing themselves. Your response was to say that Arabs love their children as much as we do and if somebody in my family got killed because of a foreigner, how would I react, that if we fuck with them, they fuck with us, and that thinking Muslims arent afraid to die is bullshit. Your response does not correlate to what I was talking about!!!. Anyone with common sense knows I was talking about Muslim extrememists not Arabs (and yes I know that most of these extrememists are Arabs, too). Show me when I said that Arabs don't love their children as much as we do, of course with the exception of those Muslim extrememists (who happen to be Arab mostly) who put bombs on their child boys and brainwash them to blow themselves up in the name of Allah. Also, saying that someone doesn't give a fuck about killing themselves doesn't mean that they don't have fear, ok. I never said that Israel is the only reason that Muslim extrememists hate us, I said it is ANOTHER reason, not the ONLY reason. Did you miss the part where I told you that Dread had already given you PART of the explanation? ("Reading IS Fundamental", remember?

Criticizing you for calling other people dumb, does not mean that I took the offense as my own. There you go ASSUMING AGAIN. Nobody here is fucking with you, you told me that I was thinking on an empty stomach, I told you to go educate yourself (ah, see that Cause & Effect thingy you mentioned before). Another thing, If I don't agree with what you're saying to me, I will keep responding (maybe).No need to tell me to "back off". You make it seem like I'm supposed to be scared that I started debating, or as you call it, fucking with you. Please. Give me a break. Take a chill pill, this is only a forum, for goodness sake.
