If I were at a Halloween party, I would start with the assumption that the person has extremely bad taste, and see how things developed.

Given the two groups I mentioned, I don't believe in giving them a warning.

Do you think one is warranted? Both of those groups are pretty odious, and a direct existential danger to everyone around them.

As a natural rights libertarian, I absolutely agree: nazis, islamists (along with socialist/commies and thought police) are "direct existential danger(s) to everyone around them".

When one of those jackasses willingly, knowingly, deprives someone of life, liberty, or property, then go to town on 'em (and not one damn second before).

I didn't say Islamists. I said ISIS.

that's wrong.


enemies are like problems. if i solved all your problems and killed all your enemies in a day, you'd invent new problems and create new enemies.



fix your point of view. there are no problems, there are no enemies.


there are situations and other people that are starring in their own realities.


respect them and have peace, or struggle against them and have suffering.


your choice.

Not on purpose. It isn't quite clear to me. I made a statement, you added qualifiers for yourself but also put words in my mouth, and now you are saying that I am deliberately missing your point.

Hey, you wanna go with isis? Okay...

As a natural rights libertarian, I absolutely agree: nazis, ISIS (along with socialist/commies and thought police) are "direct existential danger(s) to everyone around them".

When one of those jackasses willingly, knowingly, deprives someone of life, liberty, or property, then go to town on 'em (and not one damn second before).


I wasn't puttin' words in your mouth; I just see no difference between islamists and isis.

As for my point: don't lay hands on the other guy till he lays hands on you, no matter how odious his thinkin' is.

To work hard at identifying the correct enemy, to imagine their evil thinking, to consider the possible attacks, to fantasize about the violence, this all the chimp heritage right here right now

It will be our destruction

(changes in BOLD type mine for continuity)

The definitions can be a slippery slope.

I find it helpful to think of it as the Spectrum of Islam Continuum:

Muslims (have Islam as their religion) > Fundamentalist Muslims/Islamists (have Islam as their religion and politics by peaceful means) > Extreme/Fanatic/Radical Islamists [Extremists] (have Islam as their religion and politics by any means necessary).

Between the terms Muslims and Islamists there's some overlap; but, I don't consider them the same.

Between the terms Islamists and Extremists (like ISIS) there's some overlap; but, I don't consider them the same.

FWIW:

True, but kinda beside the (my) point.
