41. Terrorists are bullies at their core and like all bullies that makes terrorists craven cowards.
Tue Jun 14, 2016, 06:38 PM
Jun 2016

I've given this a lot of thought over the years and this is my conclusion;

I don't care what their faith is, they take their own self-loathing and hurt other people as a remedy to their ills they find themselves in. Pure projection that is lethal.

However I believe their main trait is the craven coward part, that is why they have to use weapons to do their dirty work. Far too cowardly to walk up to a person and take them on in verbal combat. The brain frightens them, since they are not using it properly.

When I was a kid, I thought verbal combat (I was opinionated when I came out of the womb) was easy and physical combat was hard (watching John Wayne in warfare looked difficult), now that I have been a soldier and a teacher I see it is the other way around for the human race.

And that is a fucking shame.
