MDC 5,878 Posted February 26, 2015 In a week that saw two jihadist attacks, one would expect a trenchant and forthright handling of the threat that has shaped our age. Instead, Paul gave us this: "The world does not have an Islam problem, the world has a dignity problem, with millions of men and women across the Middle East being treated as chattel by their own governments." So where could this newfound concern for the downtrodden of the world come from for Senator Paul? In truth, the old Rand Paul is lurking just beneath the surface, as this line reveals: "Many of these same governments have been chronic recipients of our aid." So, Islam is not to blame for jihadi terrorism. America is, because we support unjust regimes. Rand Chomsky goes on to say that terrorists need jobs, ice cream and cuddles.

Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted February 26, 2015 He's right that we have given aid to a lot of bad guys. No one can dispute that. Then again, are there any good guys over there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RLLD 3,455 Posted February 26, 2015 He is partially correct, but you need to go back to the carving of the middle east after WWI, and Britain was the main culprit, not to absolve the US influence that more or less encouraged the expansion of a religion which was built to kill and destroy.

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee, Salinsky: This is a battle of civilizations with the soldiers of one good imaginary cloud man on one side and the soldiers of an evil imaginary cloud man on the other! Coddling the terrorists with foot rubs, Hershey's kisses and the proper spelling of "Muslim" isn't going to win you any friends! Until libturds like you and Rand Paul get with the program we are doomed to failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,878 Posted February 26, 2015 What exactly do you disagree with? For starters, your terror-supporting insistence in calling them Muslims instead of the much more insulting lowercase / double O spelling preferred by patriots: mooslims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeelingMN 273 Posted February 26, 2015 Will they hate us less if we are less present? Perhaps….but hatred for those outside the circle of "accepted" Islam, exists above and beyond our history of intervention overseas. The world does not have an Islam problem. The world has a dignity problem, with millions of men and women across the Middle East being treated as chattel by their own governments. Many of these same governments have been chronic recipients of our aid. When the anger boils over as it did in Cairo, the anger is directed not only against Mubarak but also against the United States because of our support for Mubarak. Some anger is blowback, but some anger originates in an aberrant and intolerant distortion of religion that wages war against all infidels. We can’t be sentimental about neutralizing that threat, but we also can’t be blind to the fact that drone strikes that inadvertently kill civilians may create more jihadists than we eliminate. http://nationalinterest.org/feature/rand-paul-the-case-conservative-realism-11544 Just read page one of his speech....but it seems pretty fair.
