Two wrongs do not make a right.
the fact that the US orders war on unbelievers, and that they do it with great regularity, all around the world, generally against unarmed civilians.
The fact that this thread has 4 "unwatch" is evidence that a certain segment can't stomach the truth when it goes against their ideology.
Oh man SoftShell that Putin crab avatar was hilarious, I'm going to miss it. Thanks for all the laughs mate.

But a nod to the pathology would lend a modicum of hope to curing the disease. Instead this country is zombified, Edward Bernays style towards war.
By proxy, the Jews have lobbied to kill 250,000 non combatants in the past 15 or so years.
you're just making up random shit now.
the US has lousy foreign policy as a rule, but does not go off to deliberately murder as many unarmed civilians as possible.
I think the correct path is somewhere between obama and lindsey graham...

I was gonna leave it up for awhile then I came across this spiderlady...couldn't resist...

This is the difference.
Civilian casualties during wars fought by the US are always accidental. ( unless you have an example otherwise )
Civilian casualties during wars fought by isis are almost always intentional.

Since the US kills over 100 non combatants to every terrorist, to continue in war is the same as saying they intentionally do it. Ignorance is no excuse.
It fails to acknowledge the efforts of the military industrial complex that has metathesized through the entire culture of the US.

Are we talking about the difference between manslaughter and 1st degree murder?
In any case the US kills way more people...
What attributes of muslim culture are you most worried about? Jihad? What aren't you worried about Jews? Eye for an eye philosophy? Wealth accumulation focus, what brings on deflation?
A) Jews don't blow up nightclubs. The worst thing Jews do with Nightclubs do is keep two sets of books.
B) The vast majority of Jews don't beat women for being under-dressed in public.
C) Jews aren't coming to Europe by the millions, demanding welfare, picking which European country they want to live in based on the amount of Cash benefits they receive.
D) Rarely produce Suicide Bombers
E) Jewish Populations produce extra amounts of Science and Commerce points for each City that takes them in. That should be in Civilization 6.
F) No Jew carries signs that read "Behead those who insult my Bagel."
So are these political, religious or economic refugees ? If you are seeking safety from persecution, death etc., why is the status/class of life such a high priority?
Human nature. They should prefer going into a homeless shelter than having to deal with bombs. But they don't. If they only had this choice, perhaps they would still wait for the shelter or wait in Syria till things got worse. I'd probably do the same.
Again - who benefits ? Cross-cultural like in more opportunities to radicalize those that haven't got on board yet? Is this better for the Muslim communities in the U.S. or the country ? Where are the fatwas from the Imams in the U.S. condemning the religious violence of Islam ?
From my experience, bad apples are more likely to go bad than the other way around. When I have seen a gang member that get into a white church, the church an the gang are more likely to understand and help each other than if the getho just remains a getho. But I don't know how much my experience can be generalized.
How much time do you have ?
Just list the top 3 problems you have living with a liberal muslim in your neighborhood. IMHO, having somebody culturally different doesn't necessarily I'm going to swallow their culture. I have some gay neighbors and I'd first become a muslim than a gay. Doesn't mean I want gays out of my neighborhood. But perhaps I'd like to see out some unfriendly straight ones.
No, we are talking about how wars are waged and what is intentionally targeted...

Right on.
I criticized the destruction of the MSF hospital. Word is that the Boeing "Human Terrain System" is about as Reliable as WindowsMe, and was on the fritz. Then some dumbass MBA Officer decided to go ahead without out, or without paper/older system backup.
But the US does not deliberately target civilians in the Middle East. Muslims do.
In fact, Muslim Extremist brutality isn't "Asymmetric" warfare. When Al Nusra shoots a woman in the head after a Religious Court found her guilty of Adultery, that has nothing to do with the West. It's Islamist domestic policy.

I disagree, can you tell the difference between a dead body caused by a terrorist or a dead body caused by collateral damage? Does it matter?
Not to the dead person. But it does to the living...

No, it's call collateral damage. How many civilians have died in Irak and how many in New York? Of course, the life of an American civilian is proportional to its GDP per-capita multiplied by X
they are not ordered to make war against non-jews. show me the daily news reports of jews murdering random unarmed civilians and i'll start to worry.
Granted, a Jew will punish you only if you break their law, mainly societal order related. Check out this great movie
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3062880
But at least they keep it for themselves. A Muslim will punish you if you blasphemy/are unbeliever, depending on how radical is the Muslim. But I think you have hanging out with the wrong type of Muslim. I don't want to remove from US all the Muslim on the name of those that do jihad, nor all the gays on the name of those who try to take out my pants when I'm drunk. Can't you think on a better way of assessing people's personality/intentions other than by religion or sexual orientation? I'm sure this is a big business opportunity.
What about the clerics who continue to preach hate and violence in the name of Allah
This compares to Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.

Your statement about not swallowing their culture – not even a hint of wanting to assimilate unless it is on your terms. In other words I will use their laws and whatever else is of value to me to get my way and demand things be the way or as close as possible to what I am comfortable with and the hell with the rest of it – unless we can get them to capitulate to our way of thinking and adapt our laws which is the long term goal.
The Identitarian Left can't comprehend that no bombing or Drone Strike campaign is perfectly free of Collateral Damage.
They can't grasp that people who flee a war zone where the violence is being contributed to by the West, may not feel "Thankful".
They can't grasp that many people who claim to be refugees aren't, and even if they are, may sympathize with the Jihadi groups against Assad AND the West.
@thunderlips11
How do you know? Do you happen to be Syrian to say that "they sympathize"? Give me a break. You have no idea.

I don't?
13% of Syrian refugees have a positive view of ISIS. Only the usual whingers had a more positive view of ISIS. And that doesn't include their opinion about other, slightly less extremist Wahabi/Salafi groups, like Al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, several "FSA" sub groups etc.
Another 10% had a "Mixed View". That's 23% who are positive to mixed about ISIL, or about 1 in 4.

We know that when we engage in war that civilians will be killed. We invaded Iraq under false pretenses knowing that civilians would be killed. They were somewhat randomly killed, and I suppose you could argue that missiles fired at a distance or bombs dropped from high altitude are somehow more civilized, except the folks firing the missiles and dropping the bombs know that they would be killing civilians. They hopefully wish that weren't the case, but civilians were killed nonetheless. Now if you kill civilians for a lie, and your own troops as well, are you somehow more noble than a whack job shooter who has his/her own religious rationale?

ah, i am getting at least some semi-automated pushback from my email to the white house opposing the large-scale importation of muslims. this means they are most likely actually counting pro vs con emails:
here is my reply:
