Thread: What is a Terrorist?

Yeah, I realize this. You cannot seriously think I am taking up the side of bin Laden. My point is simply that he is convinced he is for freedom, not against it. Only a testament to his delusion, but the point I was making is that even he is not saying that he is against freedom.

It helps to read carefully.

Don't be an ass - you know perfectly well the association you were making and how I would intuitively react to it.

Do you see the double standard I was talking about?

I don't know for sure that this applies to you, but it blows my mind how American liberals are so gung-ho rights and freedoms when it comes to Americans (aside from economic freedom and the right of conservatives to have talk radio shows), freaking out if a serial killer gets a tiny bit screwed over in court and puking venom in the streets over women's job and education rights, etc, YET turn right around and talk about how freedom is a matter of opinion when it comes to people of other countries and say, "Hey, the genocidal terrorist dictator does things his way, and who are we to say he is wrong?" Then they piss fire like flamethrowers if a fucking terrrorist isn't read any rights when we capture one of them in one of those "to each his own" former dictatorships. What an obvious double standard.

Well yeah, I do see that, I am just not like that at all, lol. That's why I called it an asinine liberal fundamentalist view,

Well, there we go. I wish you had said that about ten posts back. He is against freedom, but does not use the word "freedom" when he in effect admits that he is against freedom.

Islamofascists are not fighting for freedom. They are fighting against it, no matter what kind of semantic confusion they might have. That is the point I was making. I guess you agree?

I was reacting to your assery, which was based on a false conclusion.

Allright. I'm glad we're on the same page there.
