Stabbing a teacher? Thatâs their idea of terrorism?
Maybe Iâm being pedantic but isnât a terrorism supporter just a terrorist? Especially if they stabbed someone? It just seems like a weird phrase that downplays the act
Unfortunately, probably almost as effective as it is petty and shitheaded.
âThe terroristsâ certainly have an edge in splashy, reasonably well planned, mass casualty attacks; but when it comes to making someone feel really unsafe, which hits harder: the knowledge that some people hate the entire nation state you happen to be part of and would be perfectly happy if you happened to be caught up in one of their attacks; or the knowledge that people in your immediate area hate you; and can seriously injure or kill you with little more than a whim and equipment youâd find in the average kitchen drawer?
Thankfully, Iâm only in the first category; but I have to imagine that the second is much, much scarier. As an American, Iâd certainly make an adequate casualty on any number of assorted groupsâ hit lists; but itâs all very impersonal. If somebody wants a mass casualty attack, theyâll need casualties, and Iâd do; but so would a couple hundred million other people, no better or worse; just chance. Thatâs nothing like the knowledge that somebody within a few miles of me might try to stab me to death while I go about my day, just because.
I donât wish to imply that these punks are anything other than pathetic shitheads; but grassroots hatred is second only to vigorously state-supported hatred when you are looking to terrify, drive out, or exterminate a group.
âOne wore an ISIS t-shirt.â Thatâs pathetic and sad, all he got was the t-shirt.
The irony is that both Jews and Arabs are Semitic peoples.
What are you saying? An equal-opportunity terrorist should stab Arabs too?
âI supported a villainous group of killers and all I got was this lousy t-shirtâ
Donât be a stranger!
Might be more accurate to call them Assassin (from Arabic: ŘŘ´ŮاشŮŮâ ḤashshÄshÄŤn), but itâs still a type of terrorist.
Do they have creeds?
Michael Moynihan points out something interesting:
Plus, stabbing seems to have become fashionable among the âkill the Jewsâ set âŚ

⌠even as far away as sunny California.
My favorite example is the Palestinian clothing store â called âHitlerâ, natch â that added knives to their mannequins.
Clearly, they know their customers.
God is great amirite? Enough with the stone age (ok, bronze age and iron age) religions, everyone knows Scientology is the One True Way. Iâm sick of the great theist philosophies of Peace being angry bigoted sectarian sh!theads when it comes to anyone not of their particular sect. A pox on all your houses (of worship).
No wonder the aliens havenât contacted us: we are far to immature to let loose in the galaxy. Weâd just break stuff, like space/time or something important like dessert.
Were they smoking hashish?
Erowid says no.
The world is less awesome than Iâd thought.
I think the idea is to separate them out, the âISIS fanboisâ vs the âOrganized terrorist cellsâ. These guys seem more like anti-Semitic thugs than actual organized terrorists.
Serious questions - why do so many Muslims hate Jews and some of them hate Christians. When I do a search the results seem to be either âno, no, no Muslims do not hate Jewsâ to âJews control the world, everyone should hate themâ.
Iâve actually been listening some documentary and in the past both Jews and Christians were âPeople of the Bookâ and not actively condemned. Indeed there are many examples of peaceful coexistence in the past, including La Convivencia in Muslim controlled Spain.
But so far none of the ârealâ documentaries have touch too much on the subject, other than both religions rejected Mohammad as a Prophet.
Is it âall Muslimsâ or ânations in the middle east with many Palestinian residentsâ? I would imagine that a not unimportant share of the hate is caused by the establishment of Israel as a nation state.
As mentioned, thereâs Israel. But also, historically, the Jews have had a bit of a bad go of it in general, and not just from Muslims. Iâd say the majority of modern-day animosity has to do mostly with Israel, but with a smattering of the old classical âJews run the worldâ hatred as well.
