Poverty doesn't cause terrorism. Global warming does. Duh.

Global warming causes droughts which cause famine which cause starvation and poverty, which leads to violence. So, yes, yes it does. It was a major cause of the Syrian Civil War.

Don't know what's so funny about the truth.

Did it take you three weeks to come up with that? 

I just saw it.

There might be a suspicious package in the Sagrada Familia. Lots of police, possibly bomb squad. Metro station has been closed down at lines 2 and 5.

False alarm.

Islamic extremists are more competent.
Christians are more numerous where I live.
Six and two threes.

[Eddie Teach]

They're not more competent, the Christian arsonists aren't trying to kill people.

[grumbler]

I notice that you refuse to say "radical Christian terrorists."  Irony  isn't just the opposite of wrinkly.
