ISIS ....
These brainwashed fukheads where proxy fighters first brought in by the fukhead aszhole John (terroist) McCain into Syria.
They were backed by the Obama and the terrorist Netanyahu administrations.
Stupid Americans have no clue what's going on in the world right now.
Look in the stupid politard threads here and you can easily tell by seeing those morons babbling about Sara Palin and other stupid sh!t.
USA and Israel are the biggest terrorists in the theater thru their proxy agents to acquire the resources
so you can climb some stupid rocks and keep jumping up and down and drinking beer like monkeys ....

spread of the climbing gym / get brainwashed fukheads
"I better chalk up. My fingers are all sweaty 'n shid."
jesus never HEARD of chalk
all the dudes used sand
one day sittin' in the shade of a rock
meditatin' on simon peter's c*#k
'n his fingers started gettin' all moist
'n he prayed to his dad
'n then took a little walk
'n when he got back he had a small bag of chalk
'n he up 'n led the first V0
'n then thaddeus513 came over 'n fired it off
'n then he did a hand stand when he got on top
(that dwarf with the big hands was like that)
'n so jesus was converted and became all gentile 'n shid
'n so he got reformed
'n so you should get informed
'n i still won't use chalk cuz it's too expensive
'n i'm too cheap 'n the spread of politard threads needs to be de-formed
"Mary! Margaret! Mo' whine for these postin' 'postles! The good shid this time."
it's all moonshines

I was totally uninformed until this guy made this post that generalized the beliefs of a few thousand religious extremists as those of 1.6 billion people and now I know how terrible they are! I am way more informed now. Thanks, HFCS! I can't believe I took the word and actions of the hundreds of millions of Muslims over those of a tiny minority. Your approach seems much more reasonable.
WBraun posted USA and Israel are the biggest terrorists in the theater thru their proxy agents to acquire the resources

This quote is from a man who lives in a government created reality bubble so that he can climb some stupid rocks and keep jumping up and down and tooling around with electronics like a monkey.

ISIS needs a guy or a whole crew of guys just like Werner and Merry.
Those pickups with the guns in the bed would all look better with decent decals.
I'm thinkin' some flames and the words "DEATH TO APOSTATES!" across the gate.

Well HDDJ, tfpu. it's nice to see that, like JB, you're so informed. To read a post like yours sure gives me comfort and makes me feel proud to be an American.
I'm sure like most other Americans, you've read the Koran, you've traveled these countries, you've studied seriously comparative religions and theologies and, as part of that experience, discovered for yourself that, hey, traditional fundamentalism of Islam is much more like gentle, humble Jainism and nothing at all like the worst 16th century fundamentalist Christianity.
Yeah, last night I don't know what I was thinking. Shame on me, since Islam really is the "religion of peace" and, if I might add, even the religion of enlightenment regarding science and women's rights and general human rights and most other things - just as anyone can readily see from its people and the language they use to express themselves. Again, what was I thinking?! How "alarmist" that was! Clearly, in reality, they're on the leading edge of culture and everything. Just see, the majorities are evolutionists, they value science education, they have moved past superstitions of old. So... forgive me, no worries, my friend - and hakuna matata to you and everyone. Let's all go climbing now.
Again, I'm very comforted knowing you're one of those who actually gets it. Thanks.

ORIGINAL FIRST POST...
Incredible. The VICE News folks get inside Syria to hang out with the Islamic group ISIS.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsCZzpmbEcs
Many on this site think the crises playing out today in Iraq /Syria and Palestine are NOT about religion. Insofar as this is you, please read the Koran (it's a simple read, two days), get informed, and realize the majorities of Muslims in these countries / cultures are in fact traditional fundamentalists. Then, finally, please, reconsider your mindset. Young people esp, both presently and in the future, cannot afford to be uninformed on these growing developments.
Fundamentalist Islam is not "a religion of peace."

I'd suggest heading back to the "Mind" thread where you can put words together in no particular order and sound like you're saying something deep.
Politics, it is clear, is not in your wheelhouse.
Meanwhile, President Obama has reacted to ISIS in a responsible and measured manner. The world changes around us, we don't have control. Certainly not to the level most think we do.
Now everyone go back to chopping wood and climbing and let the experts handle this.

It's a shame that someone like HFCS ends up placing himself on the side of the fundamentalists, by propping them up and making them more powerful than they actually are, and trying to tear down those of peace who practice Islam, which are by far the majority.

What he confuses is the issue of religion and the issue of culture. All people have both, and it is easy, apparently, to blend the two as one, when they are quite distinct.

What's obvious here is several posters, including yourself (Ken M) apparently, are failing to distinguish between (a) traditional fundamentalists of Islam (numbering in the tens if not hundreds of millions) and (b) jihidi Islamists of Islam (growing tens of thousands, say, and certainly NOT just a few thousand).
Nowhere did I say traditional fundamentalists (of Islam) were jihadi Islamists aka militant Islamists (of Islam). So get your facts straight, your concepts straight, your language straight.
Why don't you think about it, or read up on it, before posting. Further, are you or anyone else here actually suggesting we in America should not try to be more informed by above linked videos (taken at great risk by westerners, btw), for instance? or by (caring enough and) reading the Koran (the very conceptual foundation of most billion-plus Muslims)?
The relationship between the fundamentalists and the militants (for example, how the former are easily manipulated by the latter) is the one that we seem to be "turning the blind eye" to - to put it charitably.
What he confuses is the issue of religion and the issue of culture.
This is laughable. I've been following these areas and their intersection my entire life. Have you? I've visited the middle east several times. In college, I had an Iranian girlfriend (yes not Arab) for more than a year often visiting her fundamentalist family regularly; thus had the opportunity to become quite familiar with their fundamentalist beliefs; in undergrad school, many Iranians (in particular young men) were in my major and dorm and we often consumed many hours late in the night philosophizing about the Abrahamic religions and their underlying theologies and what we all really really believed. Can you say anything similar? Where do you get your views, Salon or Slate?
The tragedy here, Ken M, is that you seem to be "presenting" with a theological illiteracy concerning Abrahamic Islam - both regarding fundamentalists and jihadis - quite akin to the illiteracy that America at large presents regarding science. A topic I'm pretty sure you can relate to. That's your part in the "shame."
by propping them up and making them more powerful than they actually are, and trying to tear down those of peace who practice Islam, which are by far the majority.
Do we come from the same planet? Do we watch the same news broadcasts?!
What's your strategy? Ignore them? (Turn a blind eye to them?) - the jihadi militants, that is. "Trying to tear down those (fundamentalists) of peace..." (You mean like Malala, say)? Yeah, no hyperbole there, lol!
Perhaps types like you ought to be grateful there are types like me in the world, or you'd already be living under some kind of caliphate, Islamic or otherwise. Food for thought.

But do any of them actually climb?
Sh#t man, I climbed at Rocklands last week, didn't realize how out of shape I am. Firstly, funky (but solid) some sort of quartzite, barely got up a sort of 5.6 (VS or so) route, unroped, my nephew asked me if I wanted a hand.
Yeah the hand of God, or Jesus. Or Mohammed (sp?), or Bush, Clinton, Obama, Putin, ISIS, whatever, just give me a hand paying the bills. I am yours, a free spirit willing to sell his soul for a few shillings.
Just get the creditors off of my back. Allah be praised.
EDIT
Nice add to your original post Cornie, I bow before you.

Don't get me wrong, just ignoring the whole shebang is certainly one problem solution strategy. Arguably one of the people's favorites?
Yeah, Allah be praised.
