Huh. Like a jihad. Interesting approach.
It's not jihad when when Kirk does it. American superiority and stuff.
Huh. Like a jihad. Interesting approach.
What's better that forcibly changing someones religious beliefs in order to further foreign policy goals?
Huh. Like a jihad. Interesting approach.
Kirk's state-sponsored religion and Ministry of Propaganda makes the current Republican Party look like small - government types. Thanks for reminding us that it really can get worse.
Specifically I have called for an effort to reform Islam to avoid violence, but INGO wants to inject it right back in.
No jihad, no Muslim aggression, no war.
With all the projection going on, INGO might as well show movies.
Force is YOUR baggage. There's no call to use force. Your projection is causing your eyes to see words that are not there.
...
Again, projection. The violence is yours.
Start killing the terrorists instead of wanting to hug them.
Does'nt it seem curious to you why "Ms. Adam's Apple's" comment sounds exactly like a jihad? Could it be because she said it that way purposely to make a point about the act of jihad itself?Huh. Like a jihad. Interesting approach.
Thanks for reminding us that it really can get worse.
Which is virtually NEVER.
Been there a number of times....it's a sh$t hole.
Well, one person's **** hole is another person's paradise.Lived there for 6 years. You're dead wrong.
1.6 billion Muslims. Most of them seem to get along just fine without a war of any type. I don't think they need Kirk Freeman to redefine their religion for them.
Yup, gosh, where would we have gotten the idea that your plan calls for violence. Apparently up this point in your mind, we simply haven't been violent enough. Drone strikes killing thousands and the invasion of two countries resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths, all that was just hugs. We really need to step up our game and start killing some people. No, I'm pretty sure we've been killing terrorists (and non-terrorists) and at a pretty good clip.
The ultimate irony in this coming from you is if that we have to do all this so we can "be safe." The ends justify the means. However your whole job is to get accused criminals back on the street as fast as possible. If you can get key evidence excluded from court, you consider it your duty to do so. If they have to plead, you'll argue by any means necessary that the sentence should be as light as possible, that the plea should call for as little time segregated from society as possible. Then you'd consider it unethical to even consider the safety of the community.
So, in short, Kirk, tell me where this is wrong:
If Kirk believes you killed someone because of your religion, its a five step program that involves everyone in your religion, even those who have nothing to do with the crime and believe your acts are repulsive, and assassinations for those who don't go along with the program. "Until we rid ourselves of the threat of jihad we shall never be safe."
If Kirk believes you killed someone for their wallet or because the voices in your head say so, then its his job to get you back on the street as soon as possible. Any attempt on his part to get rid of the threat caused by that guy is unethical.
Given that I'm in much more danger from a local criminal than a regional terrorist on the other side of the world, maybe Indiana would be a bit safer if you'd switch your model.
Which is virtually NEVER.
Been there a number of times....it's a sh$t hole.
You called that one. The obama sack suck commenced not long after. Went on for pages.AND finally................... In before some obama apologist comes in here and claims that just because they are alqaeda does not mean they are terrorists.
70 million killed in WW2 and Kirk could have interpretive danced the religion of the nazis and Japanese away. Only if he'd been born a couple generations earlier.
Critics of the Western interpretation, including the Emperor himself,[SUP][3][/SUP] argue that the repudiation of divinity was not the point of the rescript. Since this rescript starts with a full quote from the Five Charter Oath of 1868 by the Meiji Emperor, the Emperor's true intention was that Japan had already been democratic since the Meiji Era and was not democratised by the occupiers. As was clarified at a press interview of 23 August 1977, the Emperor wanted the Japanese people not to forget pride in Japan. This interpretation is confirmed by the fact that the imperial rescript was published with a commentary byPrime MinisterKijūrō Shidehara that dwelt exclusively on the prior existence of democracy in the Meiji Era and did not make even passing reference to the emperor's "renunciation of divinity"
When the American military high command in Tokyo in 1945 suggested that Emperor Hirohito renounce his divinity, the Emperor was bemused. ''I have never considered myself a god,'' he said, ''nor have I attempted to arrogate to myself the powers of a divine being.''
The Japanese emperor's godlike status has not changed since the second world war, according to a new exhibit at the country's most popular war museum.
The slick, Shinto-oriented rewrite of history at the Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo denies that Emperor Hirohito renounced his divinity in 1946, as most westerners and Japanese believe....
"The occupation forces tried to sever the bond between the emperor and the Japanese people," it says. "They widely advertised the new year statement as the 'emperor's declaration of humanity', but in actuality the emperor had done no more than to announce a return to the principles stated in Emperor Meiji's [1868] charter oath."Shinto, Japan's biggest religion, has 110 million registered worshippers but few Japanese worship the emperor. However, Daisuke Takahashi, a Yasukuni priest, said: "Since the war, the view of the emperor has changed in society, but within Shinto it is the same as before: his ancestors are from the world of gods so he is a divine being."
Is it all about religion?
For more than 1,000 years, Iraq has served as a battleground for many of the events that have defined the schism between Sunni and Shia Muslims.
In recent decades, the dominance of Iraq's minority Sunni Arabs and their persecution of the Shia majority only served to stoke sectarian tensions.
The overthrow of Saddam Hussein gave the Shia an opportunity to seek redress.
Though religious divisions have been a major catalyst of the violence, many argue that blaming sectarianism alone overstates the case.
Ethnic conflict has contributed to the instability, with Kurds and Arabs both claiming control of oil-rich Kirkuk.
Political groups have also played an important role, with Iraqis subscribing to a broad spectrum of ideologies and affiliations.
- ISIS has exploited the standoff between the Iraqi government and the minority Sunni Arab community, which complains that Shia Prime Minister Nouri Maliki is monopolising power
I would venture to say that it's both. You have the secular struggle for things like control over resources and you have a religious power struggle over Sharia dominance which is the major stumbling block to western goals of a secular democracy based on an American style Constitution.

No, we ordered them to renounce their religions and they did.

We also ended the religion of the USSR and the USSR fell apart without a single shot fired by us.
We must subdue the enemy without fighting. The path to this victory lies in reordering Islam.

The Japanese concept of the divinity of the Emperor is often misunderstood by Westerners. Neither the Emperor nor most of his people ever thought that the Emperor was a God in the sense of being a supernatural supreme being.
It's been suggested that the divinity of the Emperor was one of the central tenets of the Meiji restoration but this isn't true; none of the official Meiji documents actually declare that the Emperor was kami or god.
The divine status of the Emperor did become a general assumption during World War II, but as a vital element of the Japanese patriotic understanding of themselves as a nation rather than a theological reality.
The end of divinityDuring the 1930s there were some who taught that the Emperor was akitsu mikami ('manifest god') a human being in which the property of kami nature was perfectly revealed, but they qualified this by saying that the Emperor was neither omniscient or omnipotent......When the Emperor gave up his divinity on the orders of the USA, in the Imperial rescript of January 1 1946, he in fact gave up nothing that he had ever had, but simply restated an earlier traditional set of beliefs about the Imperial family.

Germany attempted to revive "Jihad" as a method of recruiting Arabs against the British occupation of Egypt. What were the results?
Did an outsider "reordering" work?
Claiming that Nazism or Communism are religions stretches the word beyond any recognized use, and isn't worthy of a place in the debate.
Nazism and Communism were religions to those people that lived under them, meeting all elements of religion. We reordered them and they no longer exist.
