    IF they are silly, answer them. Otherwise admit you don't have a valid answer or if you did they wouldn't be taken seriously on here.


    You know what, forget those questions for now. Let me ask you one point blank question:

    Do you support ISIS?
    For the tenth time, NO

    Hustini -- think of it this way. A lot (though certainly not all) of the Arab world are like blacks in America. Just as when a white cop shooting a black kid makes people go apeshit crazy, there are people who have blood in their teeth and shit razor blades if some Westerner takes out a fellow Muslim as a so-called terrorist target.

    But Muslim-on-Muslim violence is often treated a bit like black-on-black violence in the U.S.: it just doesn't register much of any outrage or importance, even if they're a 100 times more likely to die by the hands of a Muslim brother than by a Westerner. It's like a sort of tolerance for "We can screw ourselves over ad infinitum, but don't you dare come in here and follow our example."

    Greg, honestly, do you think US interfering is to save humanity as they claim?

    Hezbollah leader just announced he is against the coalition. I do not believe him really. He is just ashamed from saying that he is happy.

    Scarily, there are some people who do believe that. America has their own Taliban internally -- mostly right-wing Christians who think that the politics of the USA is "God's vehicle" for justice and redemption in the world. They are as mentally psychotic as some of these jihadist sects out there, blurring political lines with religious fiction about the righteousness of world order. But they're even worse than these jihadist sects in my mind -- they have influence over people with nuclear weapons.

    They are some of the scariest people here.

    True story: walking down the sidewalk to lunch, I overhear a gray-haired dude talking into his mobile phone: "Tell him we want 10 sorties of B-52s."

    No ? Where's the source ?
    ِAfter shelling the town for weeks, they entered it just to raise a shiite flag over the "100% populated by Sunnis" town...
    Massacres were committed against civilians just to satisfy their Gods in Iran

    Why do you always assume everything is Sunni vs. Shia ? What about Hamas ? How come they maintain good relations with Hamas ? And what is a Shiite flag ?

    Also, if it was for the greater good just to keep them out of Lebanon, then it must have been worth it considering they want to spew some shit there as well with their imaginary "caliph" borders.

    It is not an assumption, Eddy. Don't you follow news? Have you seen what happened in Yemen in the last three days? Have you read about the composition of the Iraqi army after Saddam was removed? Have you seen those who lead the army of Assad against Syrians?

    I don't get what you are talking about Hamas.

    Shiite flag is the one with "Ya Ali" or "Ya Hussain" as you see in the video...
