Careful. Now he'll tell you that you shouldn't presume to comment in the thread because Squinch Jul 2016 #46

Maybe they mistook me for someone else? wildeyed Jul 2016 #50

Nope. It appears to just be the way he rolls. Squinch Jul 2016 #51

You did in your OP Arazi Jul 2016 #105

You truncated my sentence to prove your point bravenak Jul 2016 #116

You are missing the point entirely. Squinch Jul 2016 #103

The OP is all about how this is not being done in the name of Islam Arazi Jul 2016 #106

No, the OP is about how saying that it is being done in the name of Islam is a ton of Squinch Jul 2016 #110

Ummm...no skepticscott Jul 2016 #94

I don't necessarily believe what they say treestar Jul 2016 #97

Me neither. I do not beliebe their lying asses bravenak Jul 2016 #117

Defending religious privilege is not going to help.... MellowDem Jul 2016 #77

Their hearts are filled with miserable hatred, so it is easy for them to kill innocent people. dubyadiprecession Jul 2016 #78

"Terrorists are full of shit", an dthey are fueled by religions and/or nationalism Albertoo Jul 2016 #86

Or, thinking it is all about religion fosters even more such attacks. Festivito Jul 2016 #89

They seem religious enough to me. backscatter712 Jul 2016 #96

You're ignoring their very own words. They get to own their shit Arazi Jul 2016 #100

This is creative speculation. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #115

In the picture the things he cares for are prominently displayed bravenak Jul 2016 #118

Books often get worn and dirty from regular use. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #120

Flags get frayed and worn but that one is in tip top condition bravenak Jul 2016 #128

Could just be a new flag. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #133

If he loves the book why no put a nice cover on it? bravenak Jul 2016 #136

I guess the same could be said about my favorite books. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #144

But you are not so passionate that you are willing to rape and kill for the idology in those books bravenak Jul 2016 #145

No. I don't feel compelled to hurt people from my favorite books. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #146

I can agree that they believe in their god bravenak Jul 2016 #147

Well you said there is no such thing as good and evil, so this is about something you don't believe Rex Jul 2016 #123

My post was about evidence. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #124

Evidence this guy is good, evil or just a poser imo is not in just that picture. Rex Jul 2016 #125

The OP says terrorists aren't motivated by their faith in God. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #126

I agree with the OP, imo they are charlitans like 'profit ministries'. Rex Jul 2016 #127

I'm sorry, but this is absurd. Of course they want power. Marr Jul 2016 #129

You have to ask what they want to do with it? Rex Jul 2016 #130

Me too. Amazed it still works after thousands of years. bravenak Jul 2016 #134

No, I don't have to ask-- that's my point. Marr Jul 2016 #141

Why do you think they are charlatans? ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #131

Why would one need money or power if they have faith? Religious reasons as in to build a church? Rex Jul 2016 #135

Seems to me people's politics dictates faith more than holy books. ZombieHorde Jul 2016 #143

They are full of shit, con men looking for an easy way out. Rex Jul 2016 #122

Fuck yeah bravenak Jul 2016 #137
