I've realized there is a shocking number of people that don't know what ISIS wants

86. I've never said anything about 'my country', let alone 'right or wrong'

This is about ISIS. You are denying that they are driven by religion, despite their explicit and frequent statements that they are, despite the analysis by anyone who examines them which agrees they are, despite their declaration of a caliphate, despite their genocide of the Yazidis for being a different religion, despite their warfare against Shia Muslims for being, in their eyes, 'apostates', despite their destruction of ancient monuments purely for belonging to dead, but non-Muslim, religions. Despite their use of religious texts to justify their oppression of all women, and their literal enslavement of non-Muslim women, despite their mass murder of LGBT people for explicitly religious reasons, despite their stoning of women for explicitly religious reasons, you say it's not about religion, but about "inequality and economic injustice".

But, instead, you accuse me, for giving you all this evidence that they are religious fanatics, of talking about 'my country'. I have not mentioned the United Kingdom once in this thread. How the hell do you think I'm saying "my country right or wrong"? And how do you think that someone British pointing out that ISIS are fundamentalist Muslims has anything at all to do with what your country did in Vietnam - a conflict I freely admit had nothing to do with religion at all, but which has got nothing to do with ISIS, and which no one has brought up in this thread until now?
