ORIGINAL: UllrsIshtar And like I said before: Ya'll have stirred up the hornets nest waging war on half the world for generations, Actually, prior to 9/11, what do you think US has done to offend Al Qaeda, besides, simply not being Muslim? quote:
and now you've sacrificed your own freedoms and your own constitution to allow the government to lock the country down tight by enabling them to lock anybody they don't like without due cause, so it's much easier to take it out on Europe (considering that in the eyes of Muslims, 'the West' ie Europe and the US are all the same thing anyways). They are taking it out on Europe because since Obama took Presidential Ship, he kinda made US, take a huge step back away from being the leader for the battle against ISIS. He wanted to stay out of it and let Europe get more involved and take more of a leadership position in this fight against terrorism. Obama wanted US to stop being the sole responsible nation to take care of this fight against Terrorists. And Europe did step up, naturally, their presence being more prominent, that lead Terrorists to paying "retribution" to them as well. I think it's not fair to blame US for this. Can't forever hide behind US and let them be the front antagonist all the time. It's just crazy that the world is blaming US for terrorism. It's like blaming the victims of terrorism for defending themselves and putting up a fight. quote:
Terrorists are lazy and cowardly fuckers. They're mad at 'the West' and they know they can get arrested here for having the wrong color, so they take it out on Europe instead, where freedom still means enough so that they're not harassed until after they actually do something wrong. When terrorism happens in Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China, nobody in the news in the west cares. But no, they aren't just targeting the West. We have constantly been on extreme high alert here. ISIS has been been diligently establishing cells in Asia with end goal of co-ordinating a few attacks on a few main Asian countries. When I was in Thailand 3 days ago, I was so happy to see all shopping malls had security and metal detectors at every entrance and bag checks. Made me feel safe. Alert is super high. Our government is reporting they have foiled many attacks on Singapore already, but they may miss one and already prepare us that, it's gonna hit us at home, it's just a matter of when. Security alert is on super high at the moment. quote:
It sucks for us, we know. We're still not wiling to sacrifice our freedom over it and start 'monitoring' innocent citizens. Freedom to me, is not getting blown up into pieces while shopping in a mall, or going to an airport. That's real freedom. Belgian police really dropped the ball. There was this news that said, Turkey gave Belgian authorities information about specifically this group, targetting airports and subways, since last year June. Belgian authorities had full information that this was gonna happen, inclusive of the person responsible for it, Turkey intellgence warned them and gave them whatever info they had since last year June!!! But they couldn't find enough evidence to restrain the guy and lock him up so that Belgium can be safe. And on top of that, they stupidly let their ball down. They should have been stalking that dude like a hawk. This to me, is the most ridiculous thing. I think it's the belief that, I rather let millions die, than let a few innocents be wrongly put away, something many liberals strongly believe in, they believe in a different kind of freedom. Or the alternative is to save majority lives and have a few innocents sometimes mistakenly and wrongly put away. I am for the latter, and my country practices the latter. They been foiling attacks by putting people away through internal security act where if you believe someone is plotting terrorist activity, he can be put away without trial. It has kept us quite safe so far. Is it gonna be 100% safe? Nothing is 100%. But prevention is better than trying to keep dealing with aftermath of unnecessary deaths.
