I can think of 11780 reasons Trump shouldn't be president ever again.

And every time some piece of shit Muslim suicide bomber yells "Allahu Akbar!" before launching his bits and pieces outward at the speed of sound it's a religious attack...
Pants-of-dog wrote: Assuming that Muslim suicide bombers kill themselves in terrorist attacks for religious reasons ignores important aspects of modern US foreign policy, and how said policy causes these attacks.
BigSteve wrote:I dunno'... maybe you're aware of a different translation of "Allahu Akbar", or maybe you're just ignoring it because it makes arguing your point more difficult...
Pants-of-dog wrote:It is merely an exclamation.
It does not actually prove anything about the causes of the attack.
When you look at the actual behaviour of many of these attackers, they do not act like devout Muslims. They eat pork, they drink, they visit strip clubs, et cetera.
If religion was the important cause that you argue it is, the terrorists themselves would be more devout. They are not.

You're talking about the 9/11 terrorists. I'm talking about terrorists.
Omar Mateen killed 49 people in a gay night club in Orlando in 2016. He identified himself as a "soldier of God" and an "Islamic soldier". He was heard saying it before he opened fire. Considering how tolerant Islam is of homosexuality, I don't think it takes a genius to see how there could be a connection between Mateen's religious beliefs and his actions.
Or howsabout Sri Lanka?

Sure seems as though there's a connection between their actions and their beliefs. They slaughtered known Christians in that attack...
Pants-of-dog wrote:The trouble with this idea is its very simplicity. It ignores important evidence like Mateen's mental illness, his possible homosexuality, and the fact that the preacher at Mateen's mosque never preached against homosexuals.
Why do you assume this was about religion and not (for example) Sri Lanka's recent troubled political history?
BigSteve wrote:You're correct, it is very simplistic. Look up Occam's Razor applies...
Well, because were screaming "Allahu Akbar!" right before they slaughtered Christians.
Call it a hunch...
