It is all about penis envy, I´ve been saying that all along.
Gosh, had I a schlongmonster like Mick28, I might be satisfied with his IQ.
Islamists don’t need an excuse. At least none remotely reasonable. When your religious culture is so oppresive and brutal there’s one powerful way to distract the people and redirect blame…Find yourself a Satan for their troubles.
Basically, when a culture/religion is practiced in such an oppresive, brutal, sexist, and bigoted manner, the Clerics and regimes need scape goats for the resulting misery. And wanting some excuse for the own actions, the would be Islamist will lap it up, as if from god above. After all, if it wasn’t true, the Imam wouldn’t have said so.
70 percent of your women are victims of domestic violence? The Imam will tell you it’s because the west’s satanic ways seep into good muslim households. Western clothing, ideals of women’s rights, Britney Spears Cd’s, etc. All of this forces the man’s hand as he tries to reassert his role as a good Islamic husband and father.
Have to honor kill your daughter? The west’s influence.
Daughter was stoned to death by neighbors? The west’s influence.
Your son was killed because he was an atheist or apostate? The influence of the West.
Poverty? Jewish plan to keep the muslim down. What? It’s right there in “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.”
Cartoon desecration of the Prophet? The West.
Whiny, complaining, religious minorities? Influenced by the west. They should know their place, yet they annoy us with these so-called “rights” they clamor for.
Who kills the vast majority of Muslims in conflict? Other musl…NO, no! The West, remember?
Who sponsors a vastly diproportionate amount of violent religious seperatist movements worldwide? Jiha…NO damn it, get with the game plan! Zionists! Look at all that damn Jewish land compared to muslim land, yikes.
And anyone that says Islamists do not violently hate us for our freedoms is ignorant. Read their own literature. View their media. Hear their sermons. Over and over again, the things we consider everyday freedoms are used to prove us as vile enemies of Allah. And this is taught in WAAAAAYYYYY too many mosques and religious schools.
Good god folks, when they kill/imprison a woman for wearing “western clothing,” it doesn’t raise an alarm?
Blackmarket Brittney Spears Cd’s that cause fathers and brothers to beat/kill their own daughters and sisters because they became “whorish” as a result of such satanic music? The west, again.
Nosy human rights groups complaining about homosexuals routinely killed by the state, or by citizens while the state pretends it doesn’t happen? It’s that damned west and their satanic freedoms.
Denmark cartoonist, anyone? And as a result, controversial artists in Europe admitting they avoid pissing off muslims for fear of their very lives? Oh no, they don’t hate our freedoms…
Oh yes, the Imam hates us violently because of our freedoms, and his sermons reflect it. And the congregation, from cradle to grave, soak it up. They need some reason behind their misery. That reason surely can’t be because of Allah’s servant, the Imam, but the Satan the holy Imam has identified.
Yeah the election was close in 2000, but it was a win. How exactly is that not legitimate? Anyways it is very interesting how the exit polls were reversed dramatically in the 2004 election to remove Chavez

The Wall Street Journal reported that two Venezuelan academics from MIT and Harvard had strong statistical evidence of election fraud.
�??In both cases, they said, the chances of a clean vote were less than one in 100 �??
Is it true that the EU refused participation due to the severe limitations imposed? This is an honest election?
Sumate had plenty of complaints about the election fraud.

This is comparing apples to feet. We have so many people, and news organizations watching this stuff that fraud is actually quite hard, though not impossible. (And we keep trying to impose laws to make fraud even harder, but the Democrats always seem to fight it. I wonder why that is?) The simple fact that it was such a narrow margin is quite evident that fraud wasn’t involved. Fraud would have tried to leave no chance of loss, like the Venezuelan election of 2004.
As long as he is not a threat to us, or his neighbors, or is financing terrorist activities, then we should leave him alone and let his people deal with him. My opinion. I think he is just a blowhard for the most part. His government will fall apart on its own within a decade.
Wow, how do you know this? Maybe it is an old grandmother who’s life savings is invested so she can have a good retirement, making the difference between eating well, or living on dog food. Not all investors are wealthy.
[quote]You invest money in foreign markets when you have food on your table and a roof over your head. A typical investor in the case HH was talking about, has a car, a bank account, a computer, a fridge, etc…
Most of the Venezuelans who elected Chavez don’t have any of those things. They barely make ends meet and often go hungry for lack of financial resources.
You don’t NEED to invest your savings (that’s a keyword here) in Venezuela. [/quote]
But where do you think they got their money? How do you think they got the oil infrastructure? Who created jobs there? Also it should be noted that the investments were not only from America, but from around the world.
You call investors who create jobs and income in Venezuela greedy, but the man who steals it is not. What hypocrisy. I am certain you support him only because he bashes America. Is that enough to support a person who is attempting to turn his country into a slave state? Enough to support a man who is attempting to suppress all voices of opposition? [quote]
Yeah, yeah, we’re jealous of your freedoms, money, and over-sized dicks. [/quote]
Well you finally admit it.
But yes jealousy. Many people follow the politics of jealousy. You have something, so it should be taken away and given to those who don’t. You don’t have a right to be rich when others are not rich. You shouldn’t have a nice car when that person doesn’t.
This is the politics of the spoiled. People who steal are spoiled, because they want it, and they want it now. Regardless of whether or not they deserve it.

It seems to me the roots of Arab/Muslim terrorism go back much further than you portray. What you call blow back are merely excuses/justifications used by those that have declared a war on western civilization.
The roots of Islamic extremism are deep AMONG THE EXTREMISTS.
The blow back is in the form of more, normally moderate, Muslims starting to follow the extremists. Extremism wasn’t and isn’t caused by colonization or imperialism. But those things have not only prolonged it, but helped to expand it. Western aggressive interventionism has allowed the extremists to gain many more followers than they normally would have been able to garner.[/quote]
Exactly.
Personally, I don’t care for blowback.
The MAC-10 and Uzi submachine guns are both blowback-operated, and that bolt clanging home on every shot really fucks up inherent accuracy.
Give me a gas-operated weapon like the M14 any day.
