I am afraid if that were true all Islamist terrorism would have ceased by now. You will never throw that magic missile that will end it and no acknowledgement of creating hydras will help. These people, if you haven't noticed, do not believe God will literally shield them from harm. In fact they highly believe in martyrdom. However they do believe in that God guides them in their doing and blesses them and their actions. They dream of the final battle where it is us vs. them. For that they need a lot people turning over to their side, either by force, by recruitment or volunteering. Actions like these create a lot of volunteers.
I also happen to believe that it is unlikely that ISIS supporters were among the crowd. ISIS doesn't seem to like mosques.

No, I am saying by justifying these kinds of attacks you are on their side of killing us. You just haven't realized it yet. It's also a good thing that you mention Sep 11. As horrifying as it was the wars in the aftermath in order to defeat terrorism haven't reduced terrorism by one bit and it has actually multiplied terrorist potential and added a lot more volatility across the Middle East. When Obama took out Osama that was one action I could get behind because that's as close to precision you can get.

We are fighting an idea, you don't seem to understand that. How do fight an idea? You also don't have a good grasp of the religious mind.
Let's just reduce it down to that radicalized fellow who attacked all those civilians in Germany with an ax the other day, what he did is good for recruitment.

You fight ideas by convincing the moderates, the inconclusive ones and the disenchanted by proving that your ideas a lot better and helpful to them than joining groups that follow ideas opposing yours.
Actually I do. I am coming from a very religious household. I've also educated myself quite thoroughly on the aspect of different religions. Your mistake is to see Islam from a Christian perspective. That's not how things work, and never did and that's something that even ancient crusaders came to realize in the end.You also don't have a good grasp of the religious mind.
What about him? His attack had nothing with religion, he was mentally ill. You know everyone agrees humans are difficult animals at times with their many facettes and aspects which forms a single individual but in no other case it seems so clear than when some individual is coming from a Muslim country: then it's because of the faith his mother country is adhering too. Nevermind the axe attacker had no motive whatsoever. So, that's one terrible example to scratch.Let's just reduce it down to that radicalized fellow who attacked all those civilians in Germany with an ax the other day, what he did is good for recruitment.

The military works in metric doesn't it? As do many government agencies. Because when you have to work internationally it's a pain in the ass to have to keep converting to an archaic measurements system.
The US began metricising in the 60s and 70s, but then the political wind went out of its sails and they got lazy. Now they have a mess.
Isn't it that if you do not show up at mosque ISIS are free to shoot you anywhere they find you outside of it at prayer time?
Because in ISIS-controlled areas prayers for population are mandatory.
Obviously many ISIS leaders/commanders are no exception, which is why targeting them near mosque is easier then anywhere else.
Thankfully there weren't any humans that were harmed in this airstrike.
