Islamists' hold over Mali threatens Europe, diplomat warns

In arabia, there is a severe lack of avaliable young, attractive women. It is the arab culture for multiple wives, which leaves young men with... nothing...

Lack of sex is the fundamental problem for the taliban.

Yeah. I said it.
MEN NEED MORE SEX FOR WORLD PEACE.

Atrocities happen. Innocent people die. All we can do is the best we can to prevent them. What I'm trying to say is that we are changing our entire society in response to terrorist threats which we shouldn't.

Remember that Bin Laden said that his objective was to turn "America into a shadow of itself" and that's exactly what has happened.

You don't behead enemies, or even your own people, over land, sunshine. Fanatically reciting religious texts and actually practicing what the Quaran and Hadith's told you to do, because some people from a different country took your land.

Are you a muslim? If you are, I think you are one of these moderate in denial.

You can take a quick trip onto any (sunni) Islamic forum, Islamic Awkawning, Ummah, Sunniforum, Islam21, and you will find people supporting, justifying, even willing to carry out such attacks (posters even arrested). Try and tell me that those people think the way they do beacuse the reasons you give, and not beacuse of what the religion, or Scholarly reformers, teach.

The religion itself does not teach violence though, these people recite texts out of the context they were originally written in, and so make it seem like the religion is telling them to do these things when it actually isn't.

Yes, there probably are many that support, justify and are willing to carry out these attacks, and what they are doing is obviously wrong. I'm not defending them at all, I'm defending the religion, because Islam is supposed to be a religion of peace and every muslim that I know wouldn't carry out any such attacks as groups like these would.

Oh come on, the Qu'aran, Bible, and Old Testament/Torah are some of the most violent texts in this history, of, well anything. You can say that they recite passages out of context, but that doesn't matter, because they think what they are doing is right, and that Muslims who say such things as "quoting out of context" when criticising Salafist/Takfiri Jihadist muslims, are often declared apostates by conservative Ulamah's or normal conservative followers. They would say you are practicing Bi'dah. They all claim that Shariah needs to be implemented anywhere, since, like Christianity, Islam is an internationalist religion, and any Muslim who denies this, doesn't think the Qu'aran and Hadiths are perfect, when all Muslims are supposed to think they are perfect.

"America into a shadow of itself" typcial.

You saying the taliban members are rich? The chechynan Mujahid .. are wealthy? Al-shabaab members are rich? Boko Haram? All these guys who are essentially half-retarded shepards ... are rich?
