RE: Florida Pulse gay nightclub attacked in Orlando
There's something much deeper going on here. Too much deviance from the norm among humans in all aspects of our interactions with nature, we're now bearing the repercussions.
Excellent post.H1N1 said:Generally these guys are bums and losers rather than hardened jihadis. If you look into the guys who have been carrying out these attacks across Europe and the US, you'll see that they have typically taken a very relaxed approach to their religion. Many of them have been gang members, smoked a lot of dope, been out clubbing and drinking, etc etc. I would not be surprised if it turned out that this guy, far from being a religious zealot for much of his adult life, had actually lead the kind of life his religion would condemn. I suspect any hardening of his religious convictions is a recent thing.
That's not to say Islam isn't a problem. However, the nature of the problem may not be as straightforward as we are making it. It is shocking how unIslamic the lives of most of these terrorists have been.
