Maybe ISIS has looked back in history and figured that muslims were to easy on the christians compared to the Ottoman Empire and, in case of Russia, Genghiz Khan... After all, when they invaded Spain, the religions managed to co-exist.This attack is totally logical from the viewpoint of the Daesh Jihadist terrorist. They see western civilization as a blight and sinful corruption of the soul. There are no innocent non-combatants and unarmed civilians are a soft target in their war to destroy free will and expression from populations under their control. For the hard-core believers there is no honor only extermination of the pest. They are losing control of their native populations and are trying to stay in control by attacking the evil west to draw us even deeper into their internal fights between Islams slightly less radical factions. The best thing we can do is to contain it in their borders so they can kill each other instead of us.
As long as terrorists are not described as heretics by people that matter in Islam for their actions, (like the attack in Paris) horrors like this will continue.
Here's the way they understand logic:I have always wondered why people refuse to apply logic to the situation
Not really, just look at Balkans which were in conflicts with them for 500 years.Maybe ISIS has looked back in history and figured that muslims were to easy on the christians compared to the Ottoman Empire and, in case of Russia, Genghiz Khan...

That seems like good news. If we only have to pick off the stupid ones, I would think we have an advantage.the very act of thinking (education, reason, and knowledge) makes one an infidel (kufr).
Ah yes, the Balkans... special case. I dont want to get started on what happened there in the 90s and how we are paying for it right now. But I can tell you that the coverage I saw was direct opposite of the coverage provided by the west. What will we be reading about today in 20-40 years when someone releases relevant documents?Not really, just look at Balkans which were in conflicts with them for 500 years.
Agreed... it is hatred (and not their love for their culture or religion) that is their prime mover...Common hatred unites them right now
And most wars in modern history weren't won because all of the enemy was killed off. They were want through breaking the back of the economy reducing the enemy's ability to fight and from internal pressure of their citizenry.Agreed... it is hatred (and not their love for their culture or religion) that is their prime mover...
and I think half of it comes from a sense of injustice done to them, and the other half out of sheer jealousy of the prosperity of the western world (as compared to theirs)
They hate us because their deity commands them to, not because of anything we've done to them or failed to do for them.Agreed... it is hatred (and not their love for their culture or religion) that is their prime mover...

Think you wrong with this. The Koran doesn't teach this, it's the people in charge that do.They hate us because their deity commands them to, not because of anything we've done to them or failed to do for them.
These systems are designed to tell us what happened after the fact not to prevent events. Sometimes we get lucky when something rises above the noise level. I agree this is a 'war' we can't win by bombs or bullets. Between the US and the USSR 20 years have been spent turning Afghanistan back to the stone-age and blasting the rubble of the stone-age with little to show from it. The radical Islamic war with civilization is a bottomless pit of hate that will destroy itself if contained, we know it, they know it. It's a Ponzi scheme that will implode without new blood.That seems like good news. If we only have to pick off the stupid ones, I would think we have an advantage.
After that, my questions fall apart, like, why doesn't 24/7 surveillance of all communication pick up hints of these organized missions? France doesn't have an NSA? Are the governing powers still smart enough to outwit people that ride camels and tie a bomb around their own neck? Obviously I am way behind in what it takes to understand this.
I really wish that were true but 800 years of history says's it's not.The world has to thank Cheney and 'W' for ISIS.
