Like I said, religion is just being used to justify the crime. Like fighting terrorism is being used as an excuse to justify our own crimes (spying on people, torturing people, bombing with drones causing civilian casualties etc.).

That won't help one bit. You make the assumption that extremism originates from religion while it can originate from any kind of ideology. Religion is not the source of violent extremism, just the most convenient justification. Not to

I am not blaming the victims at all. For example: You could call many people living in the hood 'bad people' because of the crimes they commit but are they really 'bad people' or do they eventually commit these crimes be

The problem is that by calling them 'bad people' you imply that they committed the crime because they were 'bad people'. And that's the core of the problem. They were not 'bad people' before they committ

We have to get rid of this narrative of bad versus good people while we're at it. It removes every bit of nuance from the discussion.

But you're talking about government spending (public money) that is a financial disaster. That can't be denied. But that 1100 million Euros in arms sales did not go to the government, it went to the defence industry. Don't yo

All terrorists are humans. That's a correlation just like all terrorists are Muslims. Maybe you should continue narrowing it down to a more specific cause/group instead of spreading this hatred against Muslims in general.

To anybody with basic reasoning capabilities. There are millions of Muslims in France. You could try to make it look like Islam is the cause of all this, but that would be hard to prove.

We're getting close. How many Muslims live in France? How many commit terrorist attacks?

Well if they have reported it, why did it still happen? You are asking me to prove that the NSA hasn't foiled any attacks instead of asking the agency conducting mass surveillance to provide evidence? Just to give you an idea most terr

Or could it be that they are just completely desperate brainwashed youth rejected by society? Makes more sense.

So why didn't the NSA report this suspicious activity to the French authorities?

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but yes you could apply the same logic to homeless people. But minimal output? You can't prove that.

I guess that makes him human. Or would you settle for the worst paying job with bad career prospects? Because otherwise you'd be guilty of job-hopping. Why are you judging people who are trying to make the most out of life?

Not sure if you have ever paid attention to politics but what politicians say is not what they usually do. Especially the claim: "Tax reform that wants to stop corporate inversion and bring money back to USA (Google, Apple, etc.)"

Would it harm national security if they published a list of former security agency employees who are now employed by the security industry? It think it's safe to assume that a very high percentage of former security agency employees en

I look at it from the following perspective. There are two intertwined economies. The formal economy and the underground economy. Because of the war on drugs, the underground economy is booming. It's counter-intuitive because you'

That's correct. I don't think we should blame the PDF.js devs either.
