Islamic State claims responsibility for Sri Lanka bombings

I challenge you to name any president in history under whose watch 11 people were murdered in their synagogue by a radical right wing fringe element who was enraged by the fact that the Jewish organization HIAS aided immigrants to enter the U.S? How many men under any other president murdered 50 people in two Mosques in New Zealand (or anywhere) by a man that had his own manifesto that was posted on social media just before the shooting began, was filled with anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim discourse? What other man in U.S. history has mailed at least a dozen explosive devices to prominent political figures, all Democratic Senators and two to cable news CNN, all Trump critics? Prior to his arrest, Cesar Sayoc, a registered Republican was living in a van plastered with pro-Trump and anti-Democrat stickers. One image showed Trump standing on a tank with a rifle, complete with United States flag and fireworks. Or, Heather Heyer being murdered by a white supremacist using his car as a weapon being encouraged by Trump's words "good people - on both sides" and hatred of immigrants and blacks.

You can say all you want to defend these actions as being perpetrated by just a crazed person. But my opinion stands that not all people will be motivated to do physical harm because of hateful political rhetoric, but these four men most certainly were tinderboxes ready to ignite and Trump's rhetoric ignited it and spurred them into evil actions that cost people's lives.

Do you also believe that lyrics inspire suicide, violence against women, and murder?

I believe that people that are out there on the fringe of society, those lone wolfs that are easily influenced by any stimuli can also be inspired by musical lyrics. I don't doubt that for a minute. Just as music and lyrics can soothe, so can they inflame and incite ---in susceptible people. Music is a thought provoking experience no matter what the subject matter is. Aggressive thoughts can influence perceptions of ongoing social interactions, coloring them with an aggressive tint. Aggression-biased interpretations can, in turn, instigate a more aggressive response, either verbal or physical, provoking an aggressive escalating spiral of antisocial exchanges, such as threats of violence or violence itself. Music and lyrics can also influence people to take drugs because some of these songs promote the intake of drugs and for someone that's vulnerable, it can lead to abuses of drugs as well. If someone hears rude, aggressive and violent actions or feelings over and over again their brain will start normalizing it and think it's okay, and to say its entertainment is basically saying it's okay to go round saying your going to rape women. IMO, rap music is one of the worst offenders when it comes to lyrics and violence. Listen and you can hear about killings, drug use, and worst of all, violent references to women. This is promoting violence in young people who listen to the music over and over again. It is unfortunate that the music lyrics may shape their ideas about how to treat women.

Just so you'll know, SCOTUS disagrees.

Of course, I know what the Supreme Court has decided. I was asked what I believe - not what the law is.

ISIS is about as credible as Trump. I'll wait for evidence. It does look like there was involvement by an international Islamist extremest organization, but there are more candidates for the "honor".

You are calling the killing of 300 people in a peaceful country an honor ( its a horror not an honor ) Are there any mods on this site ???? Because we have a radical muslim right in front of our eyes and no action has been taken. It even put quotation marks, so it was no mistake.

Why do you think the word "honor" is in quotes?

Its in quotes because he wants it 2 stand out. Now my question. What does the word honor mean. The word honor should never be mentioned in the death of 300 people, unless you are referring to the first responders. Which in this case , this sick puppy wasn't. I cant believe it is still on this forum.
 
This is only my third forum. The other two i got banned for swearing. But not approving of 300 innocent lives lost.
 
bearpoker said the murder of 300 people was an "honor" How can that be ignored.

No.

It's in quotes because it's the way ISIS sees it, not the way the writer sees it.

On the topic of reading comprehension, what is a "mis-interruption"?

No, we have an hysterical poster reacting to my use of the word honor in quotation marks. That indicates that I'm using the word honor to indicate what someone else, in this case a terrorist, would say about the bombings. I'm quite sure the mods are smart enough to understand this.
 
It would, but wouldn't, surprise me if they did. The only part that's surprising is they would come out of hiding to do what they did. The part that isn't surprising is they are anti-Christian (same with all fundamental Islam teachings) and that they would attack. I don't think the guy that did what he did because of the shooting of the mosque in New Zealand a month ago. Hell, I don't believe they would care about those people in the mosque getting killed to begin with. They probably would have joined the guy shooting up the place, if he asked. The shooter in New Zealand is no Christian nor a conservative. He's a Marxist, environmentalist, militant atheist (all that in one). Anyway, I think, if it's true that they did it, they want to let us know that they're still around. Not as strong as what they once were, but they will still carry out attacks on people. Particularly on non-believers of their religion. Christians just happen to be at the top of the hit list of these fundamental Muslims in today's world.

I'm still skeptical of the fire at Notre Dame and the burning of these other churches (that all happened in France). Same goes with the 120 deaths of Christians in Nigeria. Not to mention the killings that have been happening to Christians (and Jews and Muslim reformists) in the entirety of the Middle East (except for Israel), China, and other parts where their governments are ruled by Sharia Law, socialist, and communist regimes happening today. So what happened at Sri Lanka, which was terrible and I hope they hunt these cowards down who planned this (if it's more than one person) and bullets are put into each of their heads, isn't the only place where these kind of attacks happen. It just makes me wonder if we are witnessing a modern day version of the Holocaust, except it's not Jews that are the primary targets. It's Christians. And I'm wondering if it's just not the fundamental Muslims, but also militant, globalist, Leftist atheists.

I had brought up my belief on here, some time ago, that there are hardly any differences between fundamental Islam and Leftist ideology. They believe in violence against non-believers, terrorizing them, slapping laws on that only benefit them while oppressing others, and how it's okay to lie to people who are non-believers. People like Obama and Hillary said that it's an attack on humanity and Easter worshipers. Well, this was a very specific attack on a group of people that were not worshiping Easter, rather the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Go back to the Summer of 2016 with the shooting of the homosexual nightclub down in Florida. The media and the Left said the shooter was a homosexual himself and not a Muslim. But friends, family, and the shooter himself said he was a Muslim. Then the homosexual community is thrown under the bus, by the Left and it's media, because they criticized the fundamental Muslim community. The fact the Left defends these people makes me wonder if some of them, maybe not from the United States but other parts of the world, are in on these attacks. Maybe their push to eliminate Christians and Christianity entirely. We'll see.

I thought Quotation marks normally mean take notice, and important. Also, i thought they were used in text to show when someone was speaking.

No, only hackish fools 'debate' that sort of idiocy.
 
I apologize to bearpoker for misinterpreting his post.

The language nor its punctuation is phonetic. Quotes means reference. Could be direct reference, a direct quote. Could be paraphrasing. Could be sarcastic. Could be inventing words for someone to make a point. It doesn't always mean direct quotation of someone else.
