You know what?
Your both CORRECT, I have been arguing on the pro side of dealing with Iran all week. For a very simple reason, not because i'm a patriot, not
because i'm Jewish I'm kind of Libertarian and Agnostic by nature... all that stuff is junk to me, junk food for the mind, not a banner waver. I
argue it because I consider Religion on the march for dominance to be the greatest threat there is to human freedom and enlightenment.
But there is a simple truth
We all have to deal with our extremists
If we want this to stop we all literally have to be willing to stop being afraid and realize it's our extremists in our own midst that do this, they
move among us, they create fear while causing harm themselves.
If your Mexican and you want Americans to not be jerks about immigration you can't allow La raza in your hood
If your Jewish you have to separate from the Orthodox sect
If your Muslim you have to banish anyone who holds the concept of Jihad
If your American and Black you have to throw the gangstas out of your cities, if your White you have to work to control the Military industrial
complex again
and on and on...
We must deal with our own Fanatics
Because they hide among us... It really hit me like a minor Epiphany Just a few moments ago and it is realistically the same experience for us
all...
I remember growing up, fitting in, being a normal kid, Jewish got presents on Hanukkah but dressed and ate and lived like everyone else and my
neighborhood was mixed and sure minor stereo types but I belonged never encountered hatred.
But then Orthodox moved in, there were many Jewish families like my own so they moved one at a time among us and in a million ways i can not explain
life got worse, they were nice enough but everything changed it became all about them and nothing else, every store, gosh...it's hard to explain, it
just wasn't Normal any more
But one day, I was out at night and heard for the first time from a table near me "God I Hate Jews"
And that sucked...
Because my Jews were a normal culture minor ethnic stereotypes perhaps like anyone else but we did as any Normal person does any polite people we
Adapted and lived within the culture we moved to, we were American, I was 2 generations in I was American Only
But these guys are radical, they stand out on purpose, they do not assimilate they do look down on others they insist the world around them change for
them... and then comes the hatred for them by others
I see the same for Islamic people
They flee they move to get away, they start businesses and they are always FOLLOWED by radicals and where ever they go, eventually there are the
street toughs "defending Islam" there come the nuts wanting Sharia law and...there goes the neighborhood
Polite people move to integrate and create a better life.
And we both get FOLLOWED where ever we go by the jerk offs
It's hard to do, to turn on those who "Label" themselves as your own, they instill fear, the find the hopeless among you and bring them back to the
old ways and slowly dominate everything around you
But that is the answer
We all have to kick the crap out of our own Radicals.. Stop them, boot them out, let them know we aren't like them just because we share a faith or
skin color or whatever...
If we don't this never ends
