re: #539 Spare O’Lake

The distinction between military and non-military targets is a key distinction between Islamofascist terrorist suicide bombers and almost all others.

So there have never been people exploding bombs targeting civilians unless they were also both “Islamofascist” and “suicide” bombers? Or at least, so few as to be not worth mention? Because that seems like a pretty large hole to drive through.

This is what happens when you keep stringing extensive strings of adjectives together to try to gin up some outrage against the object of your statement. “Islamofascist terrorist suicide bomber” is a pretty narrow group. They would have to be all of the following:

1. “Islamo-” indicating that they believe they’re doing it for (their twisted version of) Islam

2. “-fascist” indicating something or other (are there any fascist governments in the Islamic world? Who are they?)

3. “terrorist” indicating… that you’re committing violence against civilians for political purposes? That seems to cover it all right there.

4. “suicide” indicating that you’re going to die in the blast as well

5. “bombers,” apparently the only thing we can all agree on as a category.

So to turn around and suggest that the only “distinction” is (pick only one point from the above five) is disengenuous at best.
