I don't know if you're talking about 2014 Rada'a or one of the others, but none I know of fall into the category.

I know the goal is to fit America under the label because it's more convenient and more stigmatizing. But you could just as easily, and more accurately, criticize US military invention without strained definitions.

Jibberish, like most of your stuff. Is your name Jordan?

To Americans in the modern day i would agree with that yes.

But you ask Europeans ( especially the irish and british) about terrorists in general they would still throw in the IRA and ETA

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter...

Comintern talking points didn't arrive in time for a substantive retort, I see.

Sure i get that and i wouldn't dispute that to a lot of folk believe that about the IRA and ETA. I know all to well my friend i did grow up in Ireland.

But in the eyes of the general public seeing innocent people die for no good reason other to send a message i am pretty sure they call that terrorism.

Good point though.

 

[Pettifogger]

What's not accurate?

Sorry steve forgot to respond to this

I just meant that it's not entirely accurate/fair to automatically assume or envision "IRA" or "Islam" when one hears "terrorist," but it's understandable if you lived through the given era.

Seriously, when I look at your posts my head hurts. And, comintern? Really? Pfft.

Go fishing.

Unfortunately you are correct, it is only their success that determines how history sees them.....

Trump is far right.

I'm sorry, but he is.

Trump is far right.

I'm sorry, but he is.

Well, he's certainly neither libertarian nor progressive. I wasn't really thinking about Trump when I posted the chart.

To be fair, Ben Shapiro is not far right, he's just an idiot.

The good people of the Footy Lads' Alliance* are coming to Manchester this weekend to protest against Islam. I mean, I thought they were defending rape survivors and against child grooming, but no, they're against the religion as a whole. It's always an experience asking their kopite members what they think of Salah.

* Apparently they accept women, but I doubt I'd fit in with them
