My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Can't give you fishing, but since this is Nigeria, I can give you piracy.
And they're Christians. Is this satisfactory?
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
Boko Haram aren't much more remarkable than any of the other insurgency groups you get in that part of the world. The worst thing about it is the fact that Islam probably is a civilizing influence for some of the more remote and war-torn areas - at least they're not drinking the blood of children before going into battle like the Liberian warlords used to do.
Plus if anything Boko Haram are getting more attention in Western media purely because they are Islamist.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
And a new Intifada is starting in Israel/Palestine! What a day.

It is what it is. Individual muslims can't help being born as one, and most muslims are nice people. Subjecting to the pure ideoligy is just what it is, the Islam. Leftist people will claw out your eyes for saying that, but leftist people always confuse desire with reality. To put it bluntly, Islam is a cancer in humanity. I know things should be nuanced and that being a muslim isn't the same thing as being an islamist, but a spade is a spade and Islam is vile.

Interpretation is everything, almost literally. That, and paragraphs.
In the same vein, we don't need more stupid statements like these on what is part of a religion and what isn't.
[IS] are not Muslims, they are monsters.
