42 year old born and raised in Texas :fear:

 

 

The FBI identified the suspect as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen from Texas.

 

Authorities found an ISIS flag, weapons and a potential improvised explosive device in the truck, which appears to have been rented, according to the FBI.

Ola ya Uber... idiots masquerading as religious peacefuls

Usual suspects on icf would put it down saying all extremist do such things especially hindus…Not sure which hindus or budhistor christian do such things across the globe especially to the country where they seek asylum. Our on board libus like  @New guy and @straighttalk will turn blind eye on such events or put it down saying extremism is present in every religion.

Think @New guy calls out Islamic extremism. Just don't agree with people equating extremism in dharmics with that of Abrahamics especially Islam. Even at our worst, dharmics can't stoop as low as these radical Islamic groups. And whatever little extremism you see in Hinduism is born out of resistance to historical/modern persecution......not out of quest for global domination or something like caliphate. I don't see any Hindutva movement in Nepal for instance.

 

Check the list of terror attacks any month and 99% will have jihad as a central cause. Attacks in Africa aren't highlighted enough, but what jihadis are doing there makes this kind of news feel low scale.

Arakan Buddhist Army FTW ... They are the trendsetter among the  Dharmics.

In order to deal with radical extremism you always need to get your hands dirty.  Sooner Dharmics realize and change their mindset & Outlook of the world around them the better.

By now, I am desensitized to this @MechEng. This would have affected me more few years back, but looking at the scale of radical Islamic terror and its history since Islam's genesis, this is as natural as us breathing or birds flying. Islam cannot be reformed, cannot be defeated, will be the plague of humanity till the extinction of our species.

I don't have any hope. Islam is the embodiment of pure evil, and the handful of moderate Muslims you see around are outcasts by definition in their holy book. Just accept our eventual fate. 

 

We may see short term gains here and there but in a time scale of centuries, Islam will prevail, India will become Islamized. Once upon a time, Afghanistan to Indonesia was dharmic, Maldives was dharmic.....now shrunk to 20% of that geographical size.....Kashmir one of the greatest centres of dharmics has no space for any kafir today.
