I know no one is going to convince anyone to change their beliefs instantly on a forum. Nor will they even question them immediately. Nevertheless, I am worried by your irrational defences that you may have been a child bride. If this is the case, I understand why you type these things. It is important that we open our arms to you and aide you in getting help and therapy. Just remember that we are here for you, seriously. Being a child bride is not a laughing matter, and the indoctrination isnt either.
if something is true than its not exonophobia, problem is that you have large muslim communities in getos which wont assimilate ever..because their teachings are complete opposite to your way of living when you get that then maybe there is hope for you till then you'll have these attacks
Wonder how many more hashtags and dead children we get to have before we start realizing importing a culture that wants us dead is a bad idea.
I'm going to guess a lot.

It is a cultural lesson many failed to understand and learn from.
Like eastern Asian countries which believe might makes right the same can be said of most Middle Eastern countries. This is why from an outsider western perspective we don't comprehend how they can be supportive of dictators or kings for example. But this is what they believe in as the region is heavily influenced by neighboring China and Russia. Both China and Russia has leadership ruling with an iron fist and that could be said to extend to as far as even Turkey. Syria is an interesting case, because that is a country that was very progressive but clashing with the iron fist of Assad. It is counter intuitive to think about but that is why countries like Iran went form democracy to dictator to revolution to an oligarchy of the present day. The Asian region simply favors oligarchy or an outright dictator, because the region is the most diverse in the world with the greatest diversity. And to unify the different regions, cultures, and ethnicities you have to strong arm many diverse cultures to comply with the national and regional goals.
This is why Gaddafif Lybia was a strongman in that he had to unite the various tribes under one banner despite having their differences. This is why Biden suggested a break up of Iraq, because without a strongman to unify the country it will always be splintered along sectarian or tribal lines. Turkey is not the strong economic powerhouse it is today without the strong arm guidance of Mustafa Ataturk. Many don't understand Ataturk and how Putin are very similar in bringing along their countries and getting rid of oligarchs (similarities are too good to pass up) and rebuilding both countries form economic ruin. Actually if you think about it Ataturk preferred to delegate power to others to reform his country which is very similar to America's George Washington. Both military men not that really interested in being dictators, but both had strong visions for their countries and guidance.

It's not all shit like this, it differs because of the goal. Looking at ISIS they want a Muslim only world and all that. It doesn't matter who they target, the reason they are doing these bombings or improvised car parkings is to make themselves known and spread their message.
If you look at other potential terrorist groups with a "simple" goal their attacks will be very different. For example if we assume a terrorist group that wants all vanilla icecream to dissapear they will target events that are centered around vanilla icecream since their message is about that specific thing, not a nebulous goal like ISIS has. But seriously, fuck vanilla.
Doesn't have to with mental gymnastics, and more with the fact that ISIS would claim responsibility for the fact I stubbed my toe on a table this morning if it got them press. The attack is clearly a terrorist act made by a fanatical whackjob who's way better off dead, but that doesn't mean ISIS actually had anything to do with it beyond maybe putting some propaganda on the internet that said whackjob swallowed whole until killing teenage girls seemed like the most optimal course of action in his life.
It's what ISIS does. It wants to appear bigger and more fearsome than it actually is. Like every other attack in Europe, I'm betting this will actually have been made by someone born in the UK and radicalized on the Internet.
