    I don't show gratitude for someone doing their part of a deal, I don't particularly like them due to how they act here

    Any faith that calls for violence or preaches it should not be allowed in any civilized world.

    It's a cult of death.

    There are a LOT of Arab Muslims in France.

    No it's not, Arab Muslims are 97X more likely to be terrorists than anyone else.

    These terrorist attacks shouldn't be happening if they had stronger gun control.

    Dude, even if you are a Muslim, you are not a migrant if you are born in the country.

    That is a moral/philosophical argument. It is not the same as harming them personally in reality.

    I disagree.

    Anyway, desperate times call for desperate measures. Either you start taking a more heavy handed approach, or you can continue to watch your countrymen die.

    For the love of god go watch a documentary or read a history book if you think that was Hitlers main goal in starting the war.

Turkish army annihilated entirety of PKK three times and going strong to a forth one. Due to problematic approach to solve the issue socially and politically, PKK gained momentum by recruiting more people several years after a complete root. Turkey is militarily successful, politically and socially? not so much.
    Do you see the problem with trying to fight terrorist organisations militarily? Do you understand why I'm saying it's pointless to attempt to annihilate them? I mean, you're literally spelling it out yourself... do you not see this? How in the world are you not making the connections when you actually use the literal words in the correct order in a coherent sentence?

    Here, I'll quote you:

    I couldn't even phrase it better than you did.

    Well I am on the right and I am still never going to agree that slaughtering unarmed people on a boat is acceptable.

The Dar al-Islam is all those lands in which a Muslim government rules and the Holy Law of Islam prevails. Non-Muslims may live there on Muslim sufferance. The outside world, which has not yet been subjugated, is called the "House of War," and strictly speaking a perpetual state of jihad, of holy war, is imposed by the law. The law also provided that the jihad might be interrupted by truces as and when appropriate. In fact, the periods of peace and war were not vastly different from those which existed between the Christian states of Europe for most of European history.

    The law thus divides unbelievers theologically into those who have a book and profess what Islam recognizes as a divine religion and those who do not; politically into dhimmis, those who have accepted the supremacy of the Muslim state and the primacy of the Muslims, and harbis, the denizens of the Dar al-harb, the House of War, who remain outside the Islamic frontier, and with whom therefore there is in principle, a canonically obligatory perpetual state of war until the whole world is either converted or subjugated."

    To people like that, Hitler = whatever it is they happen to be against at the moment. It's funny to watch.
