Andrew Klaven:
Left wingers think that they are showing high moral character by "understanding" people who want to kill us all. It's a cheap way to build their own self esteem. Hate on America and hate on your own fellow citizens, puff out your chest and imagine how you are morally superior to all of them. Because "Allahu Akbar" isn't always a term shouted by losers in the middle of some act of nihilistic violence. That's just the way it turns out when those people shout it at US.
Meanwhile, understanding for the people who voted for Trump? Naw, there's nothing but hate in your heart for them. You'd rather lie about them and slander them all day long than spend a fraction of a second asking in good faith about the truth. Because for you them being fellow Americans isn't a good thing and no wise makes them good in the least.
You insult yourself here.
- First of all, understanding your enemy places you at an advantage. It was not a "left winger" thing to understand what made the Nazis or Japanese tick during World War II. It was not a "left winger" thing for the hundreds of thousands of troop in Vietnam to understand the culture they were dropped into. It was not a "left winger" thing to understand Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. And it certainly is not a "left winger" thing to try to understand why Islamists have exponentially turned towards extremism over the last four decades. Your assertion accuses the Pentagon, the Intelligence community, and the scholars of merely being Leftism as all continues to seek practical resolutions in a MENA region that has imploded under the weight of totalitarianism and indignity. Do you even know what Leftism is? The worn out "us-versus- them" shtick does you no favors.
- Second of all, Allahu Akbar does mean God is great. It is the most common phrase in Islam and has nothing to do with violence. It is used in prayer across the world. Therefore, when someone like a suicide terrorist expresses the phrase before his deed, he is merely seeking to open his own door to heaven as he gives God the glory of his senseless murder. Of course, if he understood his religion and Muhammad's written laws of war, he would only find God slamming it shut.
- Third of all, Trump fans can't even explain why they continue to cheer for a man who, not only betrayed the tenets of the "wholesome" conservative mind on the campaign trail but, has betrayed every mindless campaign slogan since achieving Office. But we, on the outside, are supposed to understand what has happened to your minds for you? It's not hate. That's what you people used to elect a man who rallied the frenzied mob. It's more about confusion and pity that you can't seem to break your leashes. Even Limbaugh and Ann Coulter broke theirs. I mean, damn!
