…and Istanbul a few days ago.
What you fail to understand is that europe is already saturated with muslim minorities.U.K on top of my head has well above 1 million pakistani citizens.Immigration is not such a big problem compared to the amount of muslim citizens in EU who to my very uneducated assumption live below the poverty/literacy line ( most ).They have not been integrated into the society.Why not trace back their schools of thought ? The people(organizations) that finance the mosques and their way of thought ?
That is a different story.Turkey was was in bed with ISIS one way or another.
Profit maximization through public bombing? I don’t see this learning outcome coming into CFA syllabus just yet.
Yup.
Yea Canada, you’re just messing everything up.can’t do anything right. Except Canadian ice wine, that’s ok.
But it’s still related, right? Because of the increasing number of immigrants, the marginalization of minorities is a more visible issue. Furthermore, as the population of immigrants increases, they are further considered to be a burden of the state, and this fuels anti immigrant sentiment. In addition to that, people who have ties to countries with terrorist influence enter European countries and serve as a link between terror organizations abroad and the local population. Homegrown terrorists are motivated by all these factors.
^ Disagree. The U.S. has the biggest marginalized minority population in the world, and while violent with each other, they don’t carry out organized terror attacks. The problem here is a radical religion that is at war with Western society. It flows from Saudi Arabia. We are all just to blind or politicly correct to get it.
^and the US was in bed with the Saudis to begin with
^Interesting, I thought Iran was the root of all evil and Saudi Arabia was a loyal ally.
The specific culture of immigrants clearly matters (Mexican immigrants and Muslim immigrants are obviously not the same). But are you really saying that neither social disatisfaction caused by immigrant issues, nor size of immigrant population, is a factor in terrorst attacks in Belgium?
How do you know they are immigrants?
I did not say the immigrants conducted the bombing (do you think I am itera?). I said that social issues related to immigration provoke or contribute to the motivation of bombers.
exactly, theyre seizing the opportunity for easy access to europe. that was the issue with migrant crisis.
to think all of that was started because of one photograph of a dead kid on a beach.
The goverment in Iran is much like a gian dog who barks all day but does nothing at the end that seriously harms the west( I still think they can negotiate funding hezbolah and put away the hatred towards israel for the right price).They don’t go around setting bombs off and they can actually be accountable for their actions, the argument cannot be made on behalf of saudi clandestine financings.
These people are all Muslim and commit these acts in the name of Mohammad, but somehow Islam isn’t the problem. Riddle me that.
I think we need to get back on track and resort to Occam’s razor here. It’s very simple. Islam harbors a propensity towards violent extremism (even if it is the minority) and rising Muslim populations have given way to rising extremist behavior whether the acts have been committed by the first generation immigrants or not.
The Middle East has lived in barbaric violence for thousands of years long before the US, the current KSA regime or ISIS came into play. Now immigrantion from the region is on the rise and *mysteriously* these exact same kinds of violence being committed by these ethnic communities at correlating rates and an entire forum full of analysts can’t quite put their finger on the link?
^it’s not that they can’t put their finger on it…they know what the problem is but have been conditioned to tread lightly as to not offend anyone.
As a former muslim I do agree with you, however if I wanted to root out the problem I would look at the sources of support and not the religion.Normal people worship anything they are brought up to believe.
