Of course it’s not a one off instance. It’s the 2nd biggest religion in the world. There’s a lot of people who identify as Muslim. Just because some of them fall to extremism and commit atrocities does not damn the entire faith. If that’s the case then declare your faith or lack of it and I will fill an unlimited count of its crimes.
There’s a difference between a religion having an extremism problem, such as Islam and a religion being inherently extremist. You ever consider why Islam has an extremism problem now in modern day and not say, the Islamic golden age?
Bigoted and ignorant. As much as the extremists you hate. Your just not violent. Yet.
It’s a racist dog whistle because you are indicting the entirety of a religion based on the actions of a single person and their view of that religion. It is bigoted and ignorant, which is not the solution to this problem of religious radicalization.
It’s the principle of it.
That’s evil bruh
The bias bot is biased and mislabels sources in a way that legitimizes news sources that should not be given that, particularly it labels alt right news as factual and non Western sources (al Jazeera) as non factual due to being written by brown people.
It’s a propaganda bot trying to dictate legitimacy.
One of us has a morally defensible position backed with historical examples of similar events and the other doesn’t know how to even recognize a genocide is happening before his very eyes. That’s really the crux of the whole thing. You simply don’t see the wholesale slaughter of brown people as a genocide. My argument relies entirely on the moral backbone that opposing genocide is righteous. Your argument is to refuse your own eyes.
If that was your family, born behind a wall and then bombed to hell, I bet you would have a different tune. Sadly for people like you with no moral philosophy whatsoever, having no empathy for people experiencing things you don’t is pretty normal. It’s why Nazi Germany was able to do what it did. It’s why south Africa got away with what it did. It’s why the native Americans were genocided as they were. And it’s why right at this moment you fence sit a slaughter.
Of course it’s terrorism. But there is a difference between an all powerful state committing terrorism on people it doesn’t have to, and a people committing terrorism on their occupiers and genocides after having literally every other option of fighting back being removed.
You’ll nod your head to JFKs quote “those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable” and then sit on the fence when the inevitable happens. Acting like both sides are in the wrong when one side, the one with power in the situation committed to actions that everyone always knew would lead to this. I blame Israel for the death of its civilians due to palastinian terrorism.
Same as I do with the polish Warsaw ghetto uprising.
Same as I do with the IRA.
Same as I do with native American uprisings.
History is filled with noble causes resulting to terrorism due to the complete lack of any other options. It’s not great. It’s not cool. It fuckin sucks. But at the end of the day, it is ALWAYS the fault of the oppressor. Every time. Always.
While a funny quip, states are capable of terrorism. See Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo, Dresden, the blitz. Ya know I was hoping I would off the top of my head remember more than just WW2 examples, but here we are. I mean, besides Israel at the moment but that’s the topic so doesn’t really fit to the list.
Pretty normal to call a state that commits genocide a Nazi state as that’s the thing the Nazis did. That and the race mixing laws. Don’t forget it’s illegal to race mix in Israel. Ethno state, famously also a Nazi thing. This isn’t hyperbole, it’s a pretty direct comparison.
And the Nazis had a point or two as well didn’t they? Let’s break down the pros and cons of genocide, let’s not be so hasty to judge.
Unlike you, I don’t need to wait for historians to reach a consensus on the evils of my time.
Oh no, let me understand the perspective of people bombing civilians to cause them to lose faith in the local militia group for the sake of colonization and conquest. I’m sure they have a good reason.
What else do you call the bombing of civilians.
I’m going to let your justification of genocide just speak for itself. Despicable human being you are.
Current world order sucks
Let’s goo
So because smallpox killed more than us, all the genocide we 100% did didn’t matter? What an argument. Trail of tears dumbass. Stealing children to force into boarding schools dumbass. Reservations dumbass. Near extermination of the Buffalo.
Damn, I didn’t know that millions of dead native Americans were required for electricity to be invented. Who knew that without that genocide no human being would of ever come up with the cell phone. It’s like you believe that if we didn’t murder millions of natives that all human progress would of stopped
Manifest destiny was legal too. Tell it to the native American Indians that we got it legally. When you start talking legal and not moral, it’s because you know you have lost that morality.
Double bait.
