anyone who has been educated about politics would know that lSlS, al-qaeda, etc. arent radicals; theyre reactionaries. not radicals. there really is nothing radical about islam. while there are some similarities between radicals and reactionaries as theyre both opposite sides of the spectrum and therefore more extreme, there is no way that lSlS are radicals lol
radicals want social progress
reactionaries want social regress
now try to understand that without thinking of the connotations of the words progress and regress
radicals, like communists, socialists, etc want to achieve progress, progress as in moving forward to reach an ideal
reactionaries, like notsees and lSlS and trump, want to go back to a greater time, theyre into more "traditional" stuff and want to regress, regress as in returning to a former state |
|
|
also remember that "radical" is synonymous with "revolutionary"
radicals do revolutions
reactionaries do reactions (to what has already happened) |
|

Religious extremism is a stupid term, it just lets people say "oh they're not part of my religion they're extremists!"
If your religion can be misinterpreted to think that murder is okay if they're not the same religion then the community as a whole needs to reconsider what is acceptable. |

@strait
i dont know why you would think that terrorism is a progressive policy |
|

"If your religion can be misinterpreted to think that murder is okay if they're not the same religion then the community as a whole needs to reconsider what is acceptable."
problem is that a lot of people misinterpret that their religions mean theyre allowed to murder others
yes this includes christianity, buddhism, even.. etc... |

When did I say it was progressive? I just said people should stop ignoring it and saying its not their problem. |
|
|
its funny how people will use "radical" in place of... reactionary??? the literal opposite of radical? |
|

"When did I say it was progressive? I just said people should stop ignoring it and saying its not their problem."
radicalism means you have an extreme desire for progress
reactionary means you have an extreme desire for regress
please get it... |

you ever actually read the Qu'ran? |
|
|
I realise that Islam isn't the only reason used by terrorists, the IRA were Catholic extremists they say they fought for Ireland when in reality they wanted everyone in Ireland to be Catholic.
The Rohinjya in Burma are a victim of state terrorism, they're not protected by the state and they're targeted by Buddhists. |
|
|
But I never said radical or reactionary, I just said extremist is a stupid term because they both believe in the same God. |
|

"you ever actually read the Qu'ran?"
there is no such thing as a radical religion lol...
please do research, if you want to regress into a society based on the qu'ran that is LITERALLY REACTIONARY... thats in no way radical, because its literally the opposite of radicalism, which is an extreme desire for progress. radicals do revolutions, in which, they want to change (progress change) in order to reach an ideal that hasnt been a thing yet
reactionaries want change, just the opposite, they want regress change. which is what lSlS wants. reactionaries react to new things. to them, g__ marriage and stuff is a new and liberal policy and they want to UNDO it. they want to undo the, well as they would probably call it, westernization, infidelity, etc...
radicals DO.
reactionaries UNDO.
get it now? |

"you ever actually read the Qu'ran?"
also i ask you if you have ever read the bible lol... |

IS are radical extremists. They are affiliated with Islam so media puts radical and Islam together. Radical Islamic Terrorism is a different term meaning it is towards the Islamic based extremists not the religion itself. Pretty self explanatory |

Whatever you call them, theyre still murdering and massacring anyone who doesnt follow their religion
There used to be christian extremists/radicalists and thats not something im particularly proud of |
|
|
|
"targeted by buddhists"
wow you've got to be scum of the earth for that to happen |
|
|
kinda dumb that you don't realize these radical groups view their own ways as social progress while the rest of us view them the opposite way. |
|
|
|
Yes, actually the militants believe they are progressing forwards while the common thought around here is that they aren't. I also remember the word "radical" as people who want complete social change, which is what they want, I guess. |
|
|
"I've ever seen"
"You mean "I've ever heard"? Silly 12 year old know-it-all. |
|
|
@Shatter Not really the Rohinjya are just a Muslim minority and the people that attack them think Burma is for Buddhist only. |
|
|
"IS are radical extremists. They are affiliated with Islam so media puts radical and Islam together. Radical Islamic Terrorism is a different term meaning it is towards the Islamic based extremists not the religion itself. Pretty self explanatory"
so theyre extremely left-wing? theyre communists? please try again
"There used to be christian extremists/radicalists and thats not something im particularly proud of"
another contradiction
you can be a christian extremist, but saying radical christian is literally contradictory
also there still are christian extremists
"kinda dumb that you don't realize these radical groups view their own ways as social progress while the rest of us view them the opposite way."
i guess you dont get the meaning of social progress
"Yes, actually the militants believe they are progressing forwards while the common thought around here is that they aren't. I also remember the word "radical" as people who want complete social change, which is what they want, I guess."
no
radicals want social change as in PROGRESS change
reactionaries want social change too, just REGRESS change |
