The following is a very good question. Show them this video and then ask it.
'do Westerners have the courage to combat these uncomfortable truths when given the opportunity? Could we recognize it if evil were screaming in front of our faces?'
Exchange between U.S. Congress member, Tim Burchett and Executive Director of Middle East Forum Gregg Roman:
'Mr Roman are you aware that we are sending $40 million dollars a week to the Taliban?'
'Yes, Sir.'
'Can you name other instances of foreign aid going to terrorist organizations?'
'We have assisted Al-Shabaab in Somalia. There's been instances of the Hamzi Network in Sudan, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Kata'ib Hezbollah, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham in Syria. Dozens of terror organisations have received indirect assistance from US foreign aid.'
fascinatin' tale but I most respectfully beg ta differ with ya re yer stating that:
"Extremism is not owned by any one ethnic group or religion."
N'unh unh. I'll let'cha know of one whose members/martyrs "owns" a lot've it--Islam
(an' from all I'm learnin' the peaceful followerz that do not wanna kill all da joos -- i.e. the saturday peepull an' next the infidels--the sunday folks....are NOT practicin' Islam "properly"..... If that laissez-faire m.o. WERE the policy of the majority of followerz of that Noble Faith then the rest've us would not need to worry. Trooth iz: it's the majority...the believers....)
Not entirely true Roger. Fulani fighters, Boko Haram and ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa Province). These attacks increased under the rule of former president Muhammadu Buhari, putting Nigeria at the epicenter of targeted violence against the church.
Or Sudan...Libya, Yemen, Somalia and just for ships and giggles...North Korea.
We do not recognize evil, because we are not aware of it. We are not aware of much of anything. We are walking around in some sort of fog. To make matters worse, many have their eyes glued to their phones. They see nothing-- including steps and curbs. People have no situational awareness. They are not alert to their environment. We don't even pay heed to our own intuition. We ignore warning signs or pass them off as something odd.
So, these acts of terrorism will continue, probably escalate. In the US, we now have thousands, maybe millions, of terrorists from all over the world. When enough people become victims, when we all know somebody who has died or been seriously injured, we may start to pay attention. I hope our state of awareness wakes up before the country (any country) falls victim to terrorism.
Be aware, be prepared, be ready-- your life depends on it.
