Yeah, one of the strongest recruiting grounds for al Qaeda has been technical schools--engineering and medical, for example. Often students one generation out of the village, or encountering Western culture. Like Qtub, who flipped out at a church social in dry 1940's Greely, Colorado.

You guys are taking everything very literately.  She's trying to say that a gun will kill the crazy ass terrorist..........but until you start educating the people (as kids) who end up becoming the terrorists, you will never stop the method that the terrorists are created (uneducated poor people who have nothing to lose, and are promised everything if they "fight for Alaha".  

Are there educated terrorists...sure their are.  But don't try to tell me that the majority of people who are blowing themselves up in the name name of Alaha are Doctors and Lawyers.

What is she trying to say? You can't stop terrorism with violence, only education? Terrorism only appeals to the uneducated? There are many known terrorists who have PhD's, and many who have degrees in advanced fields of engineering; are these people not educated?

I'm confused.

Bingo!! That's what she is saying.  Fix them BEFORE they turn into terrorists.

The Spanish approach to the new World was quite different then the English approach, where the early settlers bought land from the natives and didn't engage in forced conversions.

However, later settlers and US citizens took the land by force, killing many of the natives in the process. Not much different than the Spanish approach.
However, superior culture was indeed a significant component.

I guess that depends upon how "superior culture" is defined. Personally, I don't see as "superior" any culture that enables one group to consider itself justified in killing members of another group in order to steal their land and wealth.
European dominance is rooted in superior culture. Superior culture provides superior technology and more effective cooperation, resulting is superior military capability.

Yep. The Nazis proved that.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. Does that, in any way, negate what I wrote?

Even you admit they had no weapons and only flowers. If they were looking to capture them, maybe someone would have left the emperor behind, who wasn't a warrior, and maybe brought a weapon or two.

One guy shows up to a meeting that was supposed to be civil with 5-6,000 men, mostly unarmed and those with arms they were small knives, clubs, slings, no major warfighting equipment. The other one shows up with artillery, cavalry, and armored infantry, in a prelaid ambush position, with a plan already set up to attack on a prearranged signal. It doesn't take a PhD to figure out which side was the aggressor, regardless of whatever Hemming wrote.

Let's even look at what Pizarro did after he received the ransome for Atahuallpa; did he release him, even after the Incan king had converted to Catholicism? Nope, he had him garroted.

Is this some great European civilized ideology that led Pizarro to conquer the Incans? Hell no. Deceit and military technology and experiences professional soldiers is what brought down the Incans.

Even if that's true, can you blame them? Their lands were being invaded and occupied by foreigners.

Exactly. Everyone was playing by the same rules. Warfare. It wasn't culture, or ideology, or enlightenment, just one group being being better at killing people than the other. Knowing that, we can't rightly go back and say that present day 3rd worlders are less civilized compared to those of European ancestry when they are practicing the exact same practices that allowed Europe to conquer the world, they are fighting for control of foreigners and taking it by force. They haven't even gotten into their groove yet. Once they combine technology and organization with mass killing for ideological reasons, then they can really say they are as good as the Europeans.

Why do we try to make believe that western civilization wasn't earned with the point of a spear or bayonet? We should embrace that shit, especially since losing that mindset will end up costing us our culture, all of it.

I guess I was disputing your stance on superiority. European settlers had superior numbers, technology, cohesion, tactics, economics, agricultural practices, etc etc.

That's why they won, and those are defining aspects of culture. When we study past cultures those are the kind of things we look at

The Spaniards were terrified when they realized the large number of indians they faced. Only 169 men up against tens of thousands. The plan they came up with was the only thing they could think of to survive.

Hemming wrote an actual history based upon source documents. He was also sympathetic to the indians. Even before they ecountered Atahuallpa they expected a harsh welcome; they were warned they would pay dearly for defiling the "nuns" who were the source of the Inca's concubines. Atahuallpa told the Spanish he intended to sieze them, sacrifise some and castrate others to become guards for his concubines.

There is only one way a nation of millions with tens of thousands under arms is taken down by 169 men: supreme bad decision making. It is the only possible answer.  

As far as killing Atahuallpa, the reason was because they thought he was secretly commanding a resistance to the Spaniards. Some of Pizarro's lieutenants had been pushing to kill him for that reason. Pizarro was eventually convinced. IIRC there was a faction opposed. By converting he avoided death by burning.

Another key part as I understand it, in my very limited knowledge of Islam, is that in their beliefs nothing happens unless it's gods will. Even the bad things that happen are gods will.

So when a complete dick head is running the show they have to go along with it because it's gods will. Going against the strong man is going against god. They go along with who ever is in charge and whatever that person says because doing so would be defying gods will which they won't do.

As usual, you seem almost pathologically incapable of reading anything I say and understanding it. It's like you read normal sentences and turn them around or put your own words in them.










So, here you go sparky....










What did the first post say? Do both. Educate. Kill them. I'm not a peacenik or a liberal. I fucking detest Islam as a social order.










Education isn't just school btw, it's parenting, social education, expectations and rules to live in an humane society. Educate them that their ways are 13th century bullshit, that their sky-fairy isn't going to reward them with virgins, that being decent to one another is preferable to burning the world down. Some of them won't get it, obviously, some will....probably most will over the course of time.










The ones that don't? Kill the fuck out of them.










Education works, not 100%, but it's why we're not still living like Islam is...even tho Christianity had a period just as dark.










If that strikes you as outlandish or naive, dude, you have issues.

Which is a perfectly reasonable attitude, if one believes that god is omniscient and omnipotent.

After a fashion she is right..................however, Muslims have to want to be educated............if not, then use that education to build better weapons to kill them

Arn't there a lot of terrorists that are killed with weapons other than guns? I guess Malala doesn't know shit about terrorists or terrorism. At least not compared to GD.

Get's shot, and talks shit.  So Tupac without the talent.

Funny how the little shit is so fucking preachy towards the west from her home in England, but isn't in Syria or Iraq trying to blog sense into the minds of ISIS.  

I knew her dumbass was going to be a problem.

She's a pacifist.  She's been shot, standing up to the Taliban.  What got her shot was speaking out in favor of education for women in Muslim countries.  Anybody that's willing to stand up to that kind of oppressor, for a cause that's just, they've earned their right to have an opinion in my book.   I'm not saying she's wrong - seems Gandhi got a lot done through pacifist methods.  But then again I'm not a pacifist - I agree with "Get Both".

Bullshit. Ghandi gave away half of india to islamic terrorists.  They now call this area "pakistan". You may have heard of it.
it's a major exporter and harborer of terrorism. Or so I've heard.

I firmly believe that damn near everyone should be armed.  I alsi believe that low levels of education significantly increases the potential for radical ideas to take root and spread.

ghandi was successful because he ws appealing to a moral society.  he would have been shot in pre-colonial "india"

ghandi was a racist who was just pissed his race wasnt in charge.

She is not well-versed in reality to know that some things are not easily solved by education.  Muslim ideology  includes killing Westerners and you may never end that...or it may take centuries or some sort of significant event that I cannot fathom.

Just because she is famous does not make her viewpoints/opinions right.

That's the only conclusion you can draw from that quote, it's not very ambiguous.  Even if it's not what she intended.

Assuming that's a valid quote, she might be equivocating 'terrorism' and 'the Taliban', in which case she may be correct. If you have zero marketable skills, and the Taliban is paying you to fight for them, then you might choose to fight for them just so you can eat.

However, if the quote is referring to the broader concept of terrorism, and not merely one particular regional organization which participates in terrorism, then it's dead wrong. Terrorism is a form of warfare, and economics is only one facet of why people wage war. Recognition is also an important reason as to why people wage war: recognition of their intrinsic worth, the worth of their gods, beliefs, laws, customs, etc. Education doesn't change that; as others have said highly educated people engage in terrorism not because of economic reasons, but because they yearn for recognition of the validity of their belief systems. They would rather engage in violence than re-examine their core beliefs.

She never said "a 4 year degree kills terrorism". She's talking about education from a young age not to be a terrorist. You know don't hit, be nice to other people even if they do something you don't like. That kind of thing.

I honestly believe that the leaders of radical Islam don't believe in their own spiel. They just use it to recruit poor uneducated expendable idiots.

To a certain point so do I.  They certainly manipulate the F out of the peons in their midst.  Here take this vest and go over there and you'll get your 72 virgins.  (you dumb schmuck, I wouldn't do it myself).

If their population had an education other than mosque hate filled thoughts then maybe they'd make something of themselves.

Not necessarily. The Christian faith holds god to be omniscient and omnipotent yet still recognizes forces of evil going against gods plan, and that when people are doing bad things it is not in gods name nor is it gods will.

The warfare of Muslims today is different then the warfare of the Europeans. Europeans won stand up fights in battle. Muslims launch terror attacks but can't win stand up fights.

Culture is still the significant reason.

Exactly. Everyone was playing by the same rules. Warfare. It wasn't culture, or ideology, or enlightenment, just one group being being better at killing people than the other. Knowing that, we can't rightly go back and say that present day 3rd worlders are less civilized compared to those of European ancestry when they are practicing the exact same practices that allowed Europe to conquer the world, they are fighting for control of foreigners and taking it by force. They haven't even gotten into their groove yet. Once they combine technology and organization with mass killing for ideological reasons, then they can really say they are as good as the Europeans.

Why do we try to make believe that western civilization wasn't earned with the point of a spear or bayonet? We should embrace that shit, especially since losing that mindset will end up costing us our culture, all of it.

Culture in what? There is one specific facet that Muslim culture is deficient on that prevents it from conquering the world. They lack the military ability to do it. They lack the ability because the Muslim world didn't spend the better part of 400 years fighting each other tooth and nail all while the most innovative of historical engineering designs were taking place. Instead,they were relatively stagnant, with the Ottomans controlling them. Compare this to Europe, which had every kingdom and principality fiercely at war with one another, transferring ideas on newly designed printing presses. Innovating. Primarily in better methods to kill one another. Many of the sociological and cultural concepts that went along with military science became ingrained into the fabric of civilian culture too, discipline, organization, logistics, all perfected during the tumultuous 16th-18th century, which started out with feudal armies fighting each other with swords and spears, and ended with regiments of mass conscripted infantry, in standardized matching uniforms, carrying identical muskets which all were made with interchangeable parts, operating off a set of discipline and commands that turned men into disciplined killing machine who marched in near perfect synchronization.

The Islamic world missed all of that, most of them didn't even have true interactions with westerners until the age we were already flying planes and building tanks. By that point, too much had changed too quickly for most Middle Easterners to embrace.  Note that it wasn't just the Muslims of that area who were left behind, Christians living there, and non-Ashkenazi Jews. Much of the Balkans, same problem, they missed out. Most of Russia, same thing, they missed out. Asia, same thing. A few nations had a culture capable of embracing the new ideologies, like the Japanese who embraced some, while discarding others, much to their peril. Others like Russia and China simply killed their way to change the country, using force to eliminate all those who refused or were incapable/unwilling to adopt (Russian collectivization and industrialization and the Chinese Cultural Revolution). They too missed enough that they often have issues performing militarily similarly to western nations.

And that same superior culture that allowed Europeans to take over the world allowed them to lose everything, to have their people embrace socialism and communism, becoming weak and complacent.

I never received anti-terrorism growing up and I have no desire to associate with ISIS.  I have never looked for their on-line presence and I believe that they need to be eradicated by whichever method(s) kills them the quickest.
