Those of you on the left, do you see radical islamists as an enemy of the US?

Question

If so, what do think we should do about it?
If not, why?

Answer 1

w.b.
If you don't think that Qaddafi was a threat to us, then talk to the families of the soldiers that were killed in Germany back in the middle '80's, or the families of the people killed on that airplane that was blown up over Scotland. You'll notice that ever since we bombed Libya, he hasn't bothered anyone. You'll also notice that since we invaded Iraq, he gave up his weapons programs.

Answer 2

I believe that they are pretty much the enemy of everyone who is not a radical islamist. I do not know what it is that should be done about it. To track them all down and kill them sounds a bit too close to the Holocaust for my taste, not to mention the similarity to a religious crusade. It would be a good idea in my opinion to not stir them up and let them rant and rave by themselves. They have shown themselves to be a bit like a beehive where if you go poking your nose in you are bound to be stung.

Answer 3

I think any radical extremist has the potential to be dangerous. What should we do about it? Well, I don't have a perfect answer to that question anymore than you do. I do know this: we do not stand a snowball's chance in hell of annihilating and eradicating terrorism and extremism from the world. It is not only not our responsibility nor our place, its simply impossible. We can only hope to contain it where it originates from and protect our own borders by land, sea, and air. With the majority of our soldiers home, and focused on that task, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Answer 4

Absolutely. Radical Islam is the enemy of humanity. We should spend less creating terrorists and more on preventative measures... Fact is that terrorism has existed as long as men have walked the Earth, the only way to "cure" the world is through education, and I mean both sides.

Answer 5

Of course we do. What we SHOULD have done about it was stay in Afghanistan and finish the job there instead of invading Iraq for no good reason.

I'm sick of being called "soft on defense" just because I don't support a war against a country that posed ZERO threat to the United States.

Although now a new generation of radical Islamists have been created through this war.

Answer 6

i'm in basic terms relatively astonished that some liberals even attempt to declare that none of their brethren denies the existence of terrorism . Or that any of their brethren diminishes the risk of terrorism . fully untrue and disgusting . They understand their brethren think of that way , yet foolishly attempt to conceal it via denying it . I in basic terms wanna throw-up as quickly as I witness this huge Lie . i think of you're analogy became into great . EDIT ** warning call -- To teach a factor , I in basic terms asked a query approximately no remember if human beings think of Radical Islamic Terrorists are a grave risk or is the risk overblown . effect ? nicely , so a techniques 19 solutions and 5 of them do no longer think of it is a variety of of a risk !! it is over 25% !! So the deniers on right here have certainly BEEN shown incorrect !! And right here is one for you and for everyone else truthful sufficient to examine for themselves . in basic terms till now the mid-term elections , i became into posting many questions correct to the hazards of Radical Islam / Terrorists . and that i'd upload that i became into between the FEW on right here who totally known the actual risk . you does no longer have faith the quantity of human beings(as a rule liberal Democrats) who thoroughly brushed off it as a concept of folly and pointless worry and worry . i understand , I fought that conflict on a daily basis . And the liberals disagreed plenty that they falsely suggested me till I have been given suspended for it . many situations they suggested me for 'insulting an entire faith'. .. faith ? Radical Islam ? What ?!?! . And to make concerns much greater confounding , Yahoo Katie pronounced the comparable !! What ?!?! Yup , those comparable deniers at present have been so uninformed that they and Yahoo Katie publicly published that Radical Islam became right into a faith !! reality Be universal !!

Answer 7

Absolutely. But not the threat that Radical Republicans are. Y'all seem to think that anyone who disagrees with you on MEANS doesn't have the US interests at heart.

We're a bit concerned about your constant attempts to undermine the Constitution and your constant squandering of the taxpayer's resources, not the least of which is the precious blood of our men and women in uniform. And your belief that enshrining Der Shrub as King will somehow make everything better.

We proposed REAL security upgrades for Air and Seaports. You lobbied against them and your Representatives in Congress voted them down. And it was YOUR beloved Leader who tried to sell several of our seaports to an Arab nation known to support Terrorists.

We wanted to fight the war we had, instead of tying up our military in Iraq, which has not only proved to be unacceptably costly in terms of blood and treasure, but has been such an effective tool for recruiting new terrorists that Al Qeda is back to it's full 9\11 strength and the Taliban is a going concern again.

We said that if our strategy is going to be one of occupation, we needed to reinstate the Draft in order to provide adequate manpower. You said, "No way!" and now we have troops that are going back to Iraq for their 4th extended tour in 5 years. Of course we'd like to use the military the way it's trained and equipped, to provide overwhelming force in the short run and to support local forces with shock troops and fire support, but you've given no indication of understanding what we're talking about.

We said, "Honor our war dead." You said, "Showing the coffins weakens morale. In fact, let's picket the funerals as a protest against Gay Rights."

We said "Take good care of our wounded vets." You said, "Why? Soliders are fungible. We've used these ones up. Let's just get some more."

We are at War with Radical Islam. But fighting it stupidly, on credit, with Maximum Corporate profits as the priority--just ain't getting it done. It just weakens our military and our Nation and makes it harder to win.

Answer 8

Radical Islamists and Radical Republicans, yes, they are enemies of America.

Answer 9

Just about as much as conservative, homosexual pedophiles that your party protects. Remember that those radicals you are so afraid of, are right wing extremest, just from a different religion.

Please educate yourself, take a look a the total picture. If we treat them as they should treated ( exterminated ) quietly, expeditiously and totally, we wouldnt have as many problems as we do.

Thats both of them, radical islamist & homosexual pedophiles.

Answer 10

I would say Militant radical Islamists are our enemies. They will always hate and try to blow up someone or something.. and when they run out of other people to attack they will blow each other up. with that in mind all we have to do is secure our borders and improve homeland security and they will get tired of failing and .. well... start blowing each other up.. problem solved.

But seriously.. with enough failure there would be upheaval in their ranks and they would war with themselves.. lets give them that opportunity.
