Summary: you think we should all stop criticizing Israel because we never talk about ISIS, which is worse.

Yeas I said all that and it's exactly how I feel about it. I will going to be hypocrite about something else, this one is taken.

North Korea is worse than ISIS.

Following your logic, you should shut up about ISIS and make a thread on Dearest Leader.

The misery that North-Korea is is well known. Less known is how big the support for IS is within our borders. You are absolutily correct that these 74% don't mean anything. But the support or at least sympathising seems high, rather dubious facebook and twitter accounts get a lot of love.

I have noted a high rate of outrageous facebook statements from muslim youth. Generalizing this and thinking it represents anything but an insignificant minority is quite dangerous, however.

If we generalized the abundance of insane statements on facebook and twitter from the native populations, you'd think we were all living in a weird libertarian version of the third reich where women are confined to the kitchen. Take the Neo-nazis. They're extremely few, but you can find plenty of them in any comments section.


The crazies are loud and active. They dominate the intertubes, but they do not dominate real life. Fortunately.

I am not dumb, I fully understand these 74% don't mean all that much. Cautious though.
