Apparently there are recruiters active in Muslim countries that hook up young men with a steady supply of booze, drug and easy sex (as one put it: "imagine the guy who befriended you offering up his girlfriend"). After some time these young men are then put through a ringer of religious shaming and failing that they're simply blackmailed into supporting the group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-60045482944660302092015-11-15T18:28:52.199-08:002015-11-15T18:28:52.199-08:00Thank you, Brutus.Thank you, Brutus.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-75484177195357438622015-11-15T17:20:24.504-08:002015-11-15T17:20:24.504-08:00"This event is a tragedy – no ifs, ands or bu..."This event is a tragedy – no ifs, ands or buts.

Then, they encourage the immigration of thousands of "refugees," most of whom are actually angry young extremists looking to take advantage of the situation. Then they act shocked when a bunch of these guys start gunning people down. Now they're gearing up to start another war which will only perpetuate and exacerbate this nightmare, just like all the other wars.<br /><br />You are quite right; it is a vicious cycle of death, misery, and destruction for everyone involved (well, except maybe for the politicians putting these policies into action).<br /><br />And as we speak, our own federal government is (1) looking to expedite the immigration of "refugees" into the United States, and (2) hoping to pass draconian gun control legislation. These people just don't learn, do they? It's almost as if they had perverse ulterior motives or something...Michael Frelsinoreply@blogger.com
