re: #16 wrenchwench

The parenthetical statement made me laugh. The straw man at the end lets me know you are a propagandist. We are dropping fucking bombs on the ‘base of support for Jihadism’, although you see that base of support as the general population, while I see that base of support as ISIS.

I don’t know what you’re trying to say here. ISIS has a base of support that goes beyond themselves, otherwise they couldn’t exist. What I’m saying is that the Islamic world’s problems are not limited to 20-30,000 members of ISIS.

If you can’t make a factual case for ‘the strongly conservative views held by much of the population’, then you are not talking about reality.

I think I have been making a factual case. I mean, really? You don’t think supporting stoning adulturers, and beheading homosexuals and apostates is a wee bit “strongly conservative”?
