    I didn’t believe that Hamas, Al Qaeda, and ISIS were exclusively from Palestine. It’s not racist to say many otherwise good Muslims are complicit in terrorist atrocities the way many otherwise good Christians are complicit in conversion therapy and bombed abortion clinics.

    Fewer nukes are a good thing, especially when taken out of the hands of governments whose state religion routinely gives itself over to the worst possible version of itself.

      The heck? Of these only Hamas is Palestinian. ISIS is Iraqi and Al Qaeda is too international to be pinned down to a particular country. However, what none of these are is Iranian; these are all Sunni organizations while Iran is Shia.

      It’s racist to imply all Muslims (or even Palestinians) are “people who routinely encourage and celebrate martyrdom, going so far as to use their own children as weapons and human shields.”
