Watched a few videos of these Islamic State fighters beheading people tonight. Very scary and gruesome. Got queasy and imagined myself as the captive, what I would think and feel moments before they sawed my neck in half with a rusty butter knife.
I wonder how we got here? The US and it's allies censored all the barbarisms committed by our side in Iraq and Afghanistan - bombed weddings, funerals, cities - "Collateral damage" we never see. The ISIS guys fight fire with fire, after decades of repression, a losing war with American military and political repression at home. Combined with extremist religion and backwater, impoverished thinking.
Arrived at some conclusions - never visit the back roads of the Middle East. Al Queda/ISIS/IS/anti-American Islamics seem to be cropping up all over Africa and parts of Asia. I understand the hatred but if these guys ever got their hands on me, as a tourist or whatever, I'd be done. Makes me grateful I live in the relative tranquility of North America, and eternally grateful for the security blanket our ancestors and way of life has provided. It's undeniable we've got evil people running much of the West, with lots of good patriots under them. There's a definite struggle going on between our globalist controllers and the general people, fought indirectly through media, government, law, food, medicine, banking etc. But over there, it just strikes me as pure barbarism. If you're white, you die. Christian, you die. Any whisper of moderation, dead. While these extremists can never win against us, we can never win against them. That gives me pause.
