@Farid_0v@ShaykhSulaiman You're citing a Rabbi extremist who supports the genocide of your fellow Muslims as evidence against Shia Muslims. You're a disgraceful piece of garbage who will never amount to anything.
@stevenacook The Arab world is on fire. Multiple Arab countries have either been invaded, occupied or destroyed by Israel. Villages in Lebanon have been razed, multiple generations of Palestinian families gone forever.
@stevenacook Genuinely curious: who is the audience for? Like, there are 15 people in all of DC that want to read Islamophobia-lite literature. Which wing of which political party is this catering to?
@foster_type The US could've done nothing after 9/11 and it and the world would've been better off. The Taliban would've been busy fighting the Northern Alliance and Saddam would've been a convenient bulwark against Iran.
@NoahCRothman@foster_type What's beautiful about it? His buddies died propping up a corrupt Afghan gov't and now the Taliban have taken over. They would've been better off going to college or doing a trade.
@stevenacook I would say you're missing something important between the October 7th attacks and what you describe as unprecedented anti-Israel activism.
@stevenacook Remember when you supported a military coup in Egypt that killed thousands of innocent civilians while maintaining the pretense that it would protect the country's fragile democracy?
@jimgeraghty It wasn't a real threat to begin with. Al-Qaeda never posed an existential threat and neither did ISIS. Both were byproducts of the vacuum left by ravaged wars in Syria/Iraq and Afghanistan created by the USSR and the US. Keep up.
