Mainstream Media Journalist Exposes How the US ‘War on Terror’ Increased Terrorism by 4,500%
So after all the talk in last night's Republican Debate about ISIS and Muslim Terrorists, let's back up a little bit and take a closer look at what $6,000,000,000,000.00, 7,000 KIA's, and 22 Veteran Suicides/Day has accomplished since we started the "WAR ON TERROR", and what we can expect from a future under "leadership" by a large part of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the article:
“According to reports from our own U.S. government, reports of deaths from terrorism in the Middle East between 2002 and 2014 have increased 4,500 percent.
But let’s go a little deeper. Take for instance just the country of Iraq. Before the 2003 U.S. invasion, do you know how many suicide attacks there were in Iraq? None. In the country’s history there had never been one. But since the 2003 invasion, there have been 1,892.
And what about Afghanistan? Just last year alone, insurgents killed 2,643 civilians last year—the highest number since U.N. records began.
How about Pakistan? In the 14 years prior to 9/11 there was one suicide attack on Pakistani soil. In the 14 years since, there have been 486 suicide attacks.
The same is true in the past 14 years in Somalia (88), Yemen (85), Libya (29), Nigeria (91), and Syria (165).”

And where are the 1.5million Christians that were living in their native country of Iraq before 2003? That's a question for Conservatives.

But I didn't read the Posted article as defending Islam. I read it as a criticism of the results and goals our Gov't has lied to us about in their desire to have a "War". We had a right to go after Al Quieda and the Taliban immediately after 9/11 and grind them into the dirt as retribution, but we failed to go after the Saudi's--15 of the 19 hi-jackers were Saudis. And then we got ourselves involved in the losing effort of democracy building in Afghanistan.
But worse yet, we gave up a lot of the Constitutional protections of our individual freedoms and rights in the process
But going into Iraq and working to start and support the 'Arab Spring' were and are against the values of this country and Objectivism. And the results have made the world a more dangerous place than it was before. All that I can see that we've accomplished is to put ourselves into the middle of a religious was between Sunnis and Shiites, and to release and even support a mass of ignorance, thuggery, and savagery throughout the Mid-East.
Please show me were the Bible [Christianity] wants to enslave; keep ones freedoms from being available. I am not speaking of sects that are corrupted such as with for example the Catholic sect. Or the Buddhist/Hindu religions; please show the enslavement.
islam has pushed for and taught attacking Kuffar as good and wanted by islam through allah. There books all speak of attacking, murdering, raping, mutilating and torturing non-muslim's and muslim's that do not agree as making you a better muslim.
So you are correct if you think I will stand against any propaganda that tries to make islam look like the peaceful group being assaulted.
The biggest difference is that the MSM is showing more of them, picking and choosing which ones they show. Muslim’s have been perpetrating these vicious acts all along.
In the name of Islam 10 million Hindu’s in India were murdered, millions of African, Egyptian, Turkish and Middle Eastern Christians have been murdered; the total now over 270 million; yet the ‘article’ claims it’s more now than before?
The article is suggesting that the U.S. is the initiator against islam and that is patently false just as it is calling the Crusades the attack against peaceful muslim’s; both were and are in retaliation of islamic evil.
It appears to me that you're the one that wants to discuss how dastardly and evil Islam is, including it's directives to implement a Theocracy.
My position is quite clear. ALL religions are evil and anti-freedom, always have been, and always will be. And again, the only cause that effected our relative freedom from such drivers of ignorance and savagery was The Enlightenment. Had you spent as much time studying that major change in how men thought about the minds of men, the rights of men, and the fallacy of mystical, revelationary, and irrational knowledge---you might be better able to understand the topic of this Post.
I've explained this to you now for the third time since your intrusion into this Post. If all you want to say, is that Islam is evil, I agree with you and I add, All religions have been and still are evil towards the life of men. But the points in this Post still stand.
None of those questions matter.
It takes 4 muslim woman against 1 muslim to say he raped 1 of them in order to have the man punished or not have the woman stoned to death.
Name a religion that has laws for lending and mortgages; I'm still waiting on my last questions to be answered.
You brought this conversation to the forefront, defend it.
Islam, in it's actions and functions is no different than any other religion in fighting reason and science in it's drive to keep people ignorant and subservient to the priests of the religion or the ruling elite that partner with the religion for the same purposes. The evil and savagery that results from such efforts and actions has been a significant part of the entire known history of mankind and no religion has clean hands in that history.
The only relief mankind has ever had in all of that history, up through today, resulted from the Enlightenment of the 1700's and the establishment of this country with separation of church and state. And we still have to maintain the fight to keep that separation, even through today, with Christianity still desiring to have their 'beliefs' over-ride science, reason, and individual freedom in this country.
islam has been murdering Kuffar long before these United States of America were founded. They destroyed and murdered most of India, Turkey and Africa. Muslim's were the largest [and known as the controller] of all of the African slave Trade. How about studying history...hmmm...
Rand's problem is that he comes across as a guy you wouldn't want on your side in a bar fight. That shouldn't matter, but it does.
