The Off Topic Topic

"The terrorists" fell some way short of starting up the apocalyptic battle of civilizations that was their aim, but they certainly succeeded in what they felt were key intermediate steps in boosting Islamophobia in the west.

I missed the issue of the newsletter in which they announced their key intermediate steps.

They say it a lot.

"The Muslims in the West will quickly find themselves between one of two choices, they either apostatize and adopt the kufrī [infidel] religion propagated by Bush, Obama, Blair, Cameron, Sarkozy, and Hollande in the name of Islam so as to live amongst the kuffār [infidels] without hardship, or they perform hijrah [emigrate] to the Islamic State and thereby escape persecution from the crusader governments and citizens... Muslims in the crusader countries will find themselves driven to abandon their homes for a place to live in the Khilāfah, as the crusaders increase persecution against Muslims living in Western lands so as to force them into a tolerable sect of apostasy in the name of 'Islam' before forcing them into blatant Christianity and democracy."

This is not boo hoo Islamaphobia so mean woke bullshit.  This is saying the evil Bushites will force you not to chop the heads off French cartoonists.

What on earth are you talking about.

If your reaction to Islamic extremism is down with Muslims -> mission accomplished by the extremists. You're acting how they want you to act.

I'm talking about what your first link said and debunking your nonsense characterization.

Part of that debunking likes in pointing out the difference between "don't chop off the heads of any cartoonists" and "down with Muslims."

The second part lies in pointing out that nowhere do they say "we chop the heads off cartoonist so that they will tell you to stop chopping the heads off cartoonist and that will be a great victory for us."

You clearly need to read it again.

It's been a good 24 years since this stuff started being top of the news cycle. It's not rocket science.

[Admiral Yi]

I agree.  It's reading comprehension.  If I want to know that they want I read what they wrote, not what you wished they had written.

[Josquius]

They clearly wrote what I said they did. This isn't some minor comment they made once. It's Islamic extremism 101.
I have no idea what you're even trying to say. I guess it's some semantic game?
