Oh I understand perfectly fine that the world is complex and not all the "baddies" are baddies, and yet, anyone who their official slogan is:
"God is the Greatest
Death to America
Death to Israel
A Curse Upon the Jews
Victory to Islam"
Is indeed a cartoon baddie.
(And I'm talking about the leadership, not just random followers)
- comte7092 3y agoYou’re lacking a significant amount of historical and cultural context to understand what that even means though. For one thing, translating the words alone leads to a significant stripping of context. Additionally, movements around political Islam have only gained sway since secular/nationalist movements failed to achieve their goals in a meaningful way.
