Comparing ISIS to the Spanish Civil War

[Lancecastor]

People from around the world are travelling to Syria & Iraq to join ISIS.

Their goal... help create an Islamic State in two countries that have been controlled by oppressive dictators.

Their goal....help create a Nationalist State in a country that was controlled by an oppressive dictator.

Same thing?

No.

Spaniards have better food.

Case in point, paella.

Who was Spain's oppressive dictator? As I recall it, Alphonso 13th abdicated to a socialist junta that immediately fucked up the economy, invited social chaos, and forced Francisco Franco to invade Spain from Africa, to keep Spain from starving to death. Franco made people remove their shit from the streets. You couldn't sell pussy outside, or mug women. Now you can!

I thought the Canadians granted a special dispensation permitting Americans to hate the "right" Muslims. You know, the few, the rare, the pillagng, raping, beheading sort.

Like ISIS.

Doubt even Hemingway could make a great novel out of the chaos in the Middle East.

There was no need for this in Spain . . . t least not since 1492:

You are full of shit. If they pulled that in the next town over you would annihilate them.

Their actions go far beyond securing territory.

I don't know if you were on that bandwagon as well, but your ilk were the type proposing we intervene in Rwanda and other scenic locales with absolutely no national interest at stake.

Were they "freedom fighters" as well?

The Middle East really ought to be the Muslim Homeland, don't you think?

The Middle East really ought to be the Muslim Homeland, don't you think?

Sure, Lets make America the white Christian homeland then, right? Just for consistency?

We'll make Canada the Jewish Homeland. Hardly anyone important lives there.

 

[Que]

Do you ever pull tendons in your neck from the contortions of being a liberal?

Muslims good, enlightened, entitled to remain centuries in arrears.

Christians bad, backward, cannot establish community standards, must not openly voice their beliefs.

The PanArab movement has been looking to unify the middle east for decades.

However, the West keeps interfering.

No surprise the freedom fighters have become increasingly anti-west, really.

"Freedom fighters"

'Cause all they need is some rebranding.

Raping and killing their neighbors is because they are stone-age savages, not because these "freedom fighters" are "anti-west."

Most of them are uneducated and have very little concept of the outside world.

Should we let them kill each other? Sure.

Should we pretend they are noble souls yearning for "freedom?' Hardly.

Freedom, as we understand it, is the least of the things they are fighting for.

Americans brutalize each other as well as people around the world daily.

Get over yourself.

Yeah, because:

1) American Blacks killing each other in drug and gang-related activity = "Americans" as a generalization.

2) Even that modest level of violence is exactly like raping entire villages, burning people alive, and cutting off heads wholesale.

Holy False Equivalencey, Batman!

You going to go drive an ambulance for the cause, Hemingway?
