Oh of course. Destabilizing the Middle East *never* comes back to bite the West in the ass

2018-12-14 19:54:01 UTC  

Also when we try training/arming them so they can fight terrorists they always end up using it against us.

2018-12-14 19:54:28 UTC  

That's because the CIA likes to pick extremist groups

2018-12-14 19:54:37 UTC  

Like it's their weird fetish

2018-12-14 19:55:21 UTC  

See Acts17Apologetics latest Videos....

2018-12-14 19:56:10 UTC  

?

2018-12-14 19:56:41 UTC  

They talk about Islam with quoting Islamic Sources....

2018-12-14 19:57:11 UTC  

And its just THAT bad, he also made a video about ISIS

2018-12-14 19:57:59 UTC  

That's not new info though

2018-12-14 19:58:51 UTC  

Basically there's been several points in history where the West could have backed moderates or extremists, and for whatever reason the dudes in charge pick the extremists pretty much every time

2018-12-14 19:59:15 UTC  

There is no extreme Islam, only Islam.

2018-12-14 19:59:43 UTC  

So the only Christians are biblical literalists?

2018-12-14 20:00:02 UTC  

Not the majority of them.

2018-12-14 20:00:16 UTC  

Hey, I didn't say that, that was a Quote from the Turkish Dictator

2018-12-14 20:01:04 UTC  

1/3 of Islamists believe in the death penalty from leaving the faith. That’s 600 million of them. More of them believe in other crazy shit.

2018-12-14 20:01:24 UTC  

Its not the Islamists its the Muslims

2018-12-14 20:01:34 UTC  

Just keep them out of the West and it’s not a problem.

2018-12-14 20:04:47 UTC  

Problem is: We don't shame them, when we should.

2018-12-14 20:05:00 UTC  

Right, which is why they need hefty reform, which was my point

2018-12-14 20:05:51 UTC  

Yeah, but why not convert them to Christianity instead??

2018-12-14 20:06:20 UTC  

people like David Wood, Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Ayan Hirsi Ali, Brigitte Gabriel should spread the word about "real Islam"

2018-12-14 20:07:10 UTC  

Do you really think it's easier to swap them to another religion than to shift the religion they already follow? Further that's not a foolproof plan anyway

2018-12-14 20:07:24 UTC  

Yes, I do

2018-12-14 20:07:36 UTC  

because there are parts in Muslim Religion that don't allow Reform.

2018-12-14 20:07:44 UTC  

Have you ever debated a Muslim in your life?

2018-12-14 20:07:48 UTC  

There are Christian militias in Africa. The religion isn't magic, it's the philosophy in the west that is the key modifier

2018-12-14 20:08:12 UTC  

I've debated pretty much every group at this point

2018-12-14 20:08:28 UTC  

That was mostly directed at Stefan.

2018-12-14 20:08:36 UTC  

Ah

2018-12-14 20:08:57 UTC  

'Why not convert them to Christianity?' lol.

2018-12-14 20:09:37 UTC  

But yeah the issue is that choices have been made repeatedly, both "there" and "here" that help out the extremist groups. Likely because they're the best for power plays

2018-12-14 20:10:40 UTC  

Even now, a lot of the groups being funded in Syria to fight ISIS are pretty hardcore socialists

2018-12-14 20:11:03 UTC  

🤦

2018-12-14 20:12:39 UTC  

Ask to the volunteers from the US and such that were helping them out, and they will tell you the same shit. But it's much easier to enact change if you fund the violent ideology

2018-12-14 20:13:11 UTC  

```'Why not convert them to Christianity?' lol.```
Yeah, never said it would be easy and I'd suspect that the "Convertrate" is somewhere between 1 and 20%, depending on where they from and what they really (want to) believe....

2018-12-14 20:13:28 UTC  

Less

2018-12-14 20:13:40 UTC  

Especially in the areas you'd want to target

2018-12-14 20:14:36 UTC  

You can at least get the good people away from Islam, wich is a start.
Problem is: You can't convert them in a group because of peer preassure they can't convert.
