Why don’t you say what you disagree with and provide a criticism?
- cm2187 6y agoAgain, this isn't about the manifesto. It is about giving a platform to a terrorist. It is because they knew their manifesto would be published and read that the terrorists behind the 2011 Norway attacks or Christchurch mosque attack acted that way. And it worked as planned, providing incentives for more acts of terror. If you want to make a criticism again science and technology, please do. But I think it is inappropriate to publish or reference a terrorist's manifesto.
- Synaesthesia 6y agoIf you care about terrorism and stopping it, then you should not ignore what they’re saying. Sometimes they’re saying something important. I don’t think this is going to encourage anyone to carry out acts of violence.

- Synaesthesia 6y agoYou have to use your judgement. For example the 9/11 hijackers were angry that the USA was occupying Saudi Arabia militarily and that the Israel/Palestinian issue hadn’t been resolved. I think those are legitimate demands.
- zozbot234 6y agoIf you listen to what these militant Islamists say in Arabic (as translated by reliable third-parties such as MEMRI) you get a very different picture. The asserted motivations are entirely or almost-entirely religious and linked to militant Islam itself; there is no reference to reciprocity of any kind with the Western world.
