(OP) User ID: 72532677 United States 08/01/2016 12:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This will be a test of your ability to discuss alernative viewpoints rationally or if you'll simply go on the insult path. Have you considered two things? One, that "radical islam" is a merely TOOL for those in power? A tool equivalent to the boogyman. Those in power NEED you to feel afraid because if you don't then you wont flood their coffers with more of your hard earned money to support their expansion and globalization efforts. If you don't feel there is a boogyman to be protected from you will stop supporting them "taking the fight to them" and using your funds to take over their countries and their economic resources in the name of "keeping peace". Without a boogyman you might insist on dismantaling your military industrial complex so you can afford better education at home. By creating a boogyman, especially one horrific like a masked boogymen who behead people on tv, it only takes just a few gruesome stories to terrorize an entire nation and make them BEG to take away their money and civil liberties to be kept "safe" from the bad guys. And gladly those in power will take more of your money (to fight the war they created) or take your ability to defend yourself at home because you are told they need to be your savior. Americans used to fear communist Russia and mutually assured nuclear destruction and we drilled our kids to hide under their desks in case of blasts and javascript:doSmilie(':tomato:');fallout. After the cold war ended, those profiting from war and fear stood to loose too much unless a new enemy came forward. Now we fear "radical islam". War and "terror" are very profitable for some. Secondly, if my first scenario is untrue have you considered a second possibility that the west created hatred against itself abroad because the west has abused it's power for so long? How hard is it to "radicalize" someone who sees the hypocrisy of the west? Do you think they are all fooled into thinking that we are just noble people helping others for altruistic reasons? Do you think they really just hate us because we have better cars and homes? Or do you think possibly they have figured out that the west has so much abundance by taking it from others? Maybe they figured out that the west never "helps" a country that does not first give it a strategic or economic advantage to make their wealthy even wealthier?

People are angry and typically take it out on the easiest target..this why we see such arrogance. They know the only opposition they have is the opposition they create. And if real opposition occurs accidents will happen. |
