    No. They didn't do any of that, and America still threw them under the bus at the eve of WWII.

    Then again, look at how we treated our own American citizens after Pearl Harbor :borg: and if the Germans hadn't all but gone underground after WWI, I'm sure they would ve met a similar fate. :bailey:

    All of the above is because Progressive Democrats are awful.

    The Republicans were the Progressives back then. The Democrats were more conservative.

    You may be right. But where's the data, though? You just made a claim, but the chart you showed doesn't contain that data.

    Tge Irish were bad back in the day (both sides) but he ignores that around 90% of all terrorism world wide is caused by muslims. Thus why his comment is fucking stupid.

    Ok, that's stupid even for you. Given your description of him, I could imagine your wannabe-brother-in-law saying that :meh:

    Considering Dan's comments and chart were about terrorism in the UK, not about terrorism worldwide, I have to ask how much you're projecting :dayton:

    That is what you call cherry picking. Going back almost half a century to a well known time of troubles and then cropping the data set to ignore most of the data (I.E. world wide data) because he wanted it to fit his chosen outcome. Yes, that is stupid bull shit. It is stupid bull shit when climate deniers do it and it is stupid bull shit when he does it.

    I dream of being like Roy Moxham, go into a used book store in London like Quinto and happening across a book where a footnote directs me toward uncovering some forgotten but major piece of World History.

    In Moxham's case the Customs Hedge (Great Hedge) of India.

    Uuuuhh this is a thread about a terrorist attack in the UK. The info I gave was about EVERY single terrorist attack in the UK in modern times (since the 50's)

    How is that not relevant?

    Because @Dinner. Note that he hasn't given any sourced data at all; he just assumes that every belief of his that he hasn't seen disproved on him must be true, and that includes most that have been disproved, because he usually can't see it.

    I haven't seen it in this thread yet but has anyone mentioned the outstandingly rapid and efficient response of London law enforcement to the attack?

    The mayor has, and your President swiftly mocked him for it on Twitter.

    1. That's fuckin' stupid.

    2. Statements made by terrorists and criminals aren't to be taken at face value. If baba starts blowing shit up and claiming it's in the name of Wordforge, and Skrain and TLS join him, should the world believe they're really acting on behalf of you and I? Should the cops come after us, because thise morons are claiming to represent us?

    3. ISIS kills more Muslims than they do members of any other religion. If terrorism was really a Muslims vs. Everyone Else situation, that wouldn't be the case. :shrug:

    The point is that the terrorists certainly do believe it's their "proper interpretation" of Islam that drives them.

    No, that's the bullshit they use in their marketing, just like the the KKK claimed to be standing up for Protestant values and Trump claims to want to "make America great again" and "help the little guy." It's all bullshit, and if you accept it at face value and repeat it, you're only helping them. :shrug:

    I don't accept it at face value, I believe that that's what they believe. Just like I believe Hitler believed what he believed. Just as I believe the Catholic Church believes what they believe. Etc, etc...

    Hitler was the guy who said "If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed".

    To paraphrase Anna, he was another power hungry cunt.

    So in other words, you believe that there is no such thing as ideology.

    Even if that were so, terrorists' beliefs about Islam aren't the same as other Muslims. Your choice and mine then becomes whether we want to support or oppose this integral part of terrorism. Personally, I am against terrorism.
