Religious Freedom: The Ultimate Counterterrorism Weapon?

[bmecher]

Lost me when Madlyn Albright and all the Come to Washington be part of the cool crowd started................

Separation of Church and State, Faith and Law is crucial. A government should do NOTHING when it come to religion, government is use of force and we know what happens when religion and force get going together.......(Crusades, Jihad, "social" progroms.......)

People should feel free to chose their own moral/spiritual guideposts without any fear of feeling alienated.

[phxfreddy]

Should you not attack those oppressing you if you are concerned with your religious freedom????

[semigotbanned]

if the guy wanna talk about foreign policy credibly, he probably should disassociate himself from CFR lol

[generationalist]

What I did not hear was how the non believer's most minority voice will be respected and attended to. There was some lip service to the non believing minority in the same fashion that President Obama paid lip service to non believers in his election campaign. What I do not see is any real investment in a discussion of how to include the non believer in free and open exchange of ideas. Each of these faiths jewish, christian and muslim; hold irreconcilable views of justice towards non belief.

I really disagree with Google hosting this video as part of the "techtalks" channel. Please take down this video google!

[atenrok]

title is misleading. I barely was able to this sickness just waiting until he mentions something about a freedom of being religion-free.

The best slides start at 53.42

[stazzou]

The IGE is a dangerous organisation. This CFR guy is a criminal. Freedom fighters, as their name says, are here for fighting freedom where there still is some.

Being free starts by understanding that all religions are tools that can be used to keep an already ignorant population even more scared, docile, ashamed and stupid.

[someman7]

As can any other ideology including yours. Your point?

[Keynan0]

As long as there is religion, whether it is associated with superstition or not, there will never be peace.

[Bearlizard777]

@Keynan0 Peace is nonexistent there can never be peace.

[Keynan0]

@Bearlizard777 That seems rather pessimistic. peace exists in much of the world. All peace requires is the maturity to accept that not everyone agrees with you and resources in sufficient quantity that no one need fight for survival. The biggest barriers to peace, then, are dogmatism and global over population

[supaflyjohnson]

Muslims are worthless scum.

[Dhonigk]

Elimnate Islam and there will be religious freedom...

[RuiFranciscoVieira]

this is just sick...religion is part of the sickness of this world...

[ZerqTM]

if the women must wear burkas let the men wear them as well then!

let them be robed of there identity!

let them be objects as well!

[ZerqTM]

I dont trust anyone who belives in an invisible sky daddy.

as for 0:34:06

thats just sick!

burkas rob women of there identity reducing them to annonimous objects!

It comes from a culture which more or less sees a lone ungarded woman as fair game!

and thats what they think!

i am not calling muslims natural born rapists the muslims are!!

Only someone whos mind is warped by faith and the feeling of undeserved entitlement it brings can accept this kind of thing!

[vendariancomplex]

Interesting.

[Future5305]

no no, ultimate counter-terrorism weapon would be POT. yes free weed for all, and i promise, all fighting would stop

[supaflyjohnson]

Christians are so pathetic, it's almost hilarious

[janne808]

If christian monkeybrains don't want to be a target for extremist monkeybrains than they should stop being one. But monkeybrains have a hard time admitting to the reality of the situation.

[atenrok]

please stop insulting monkeys!

[janne808]

you're right. i shouldn't insult the monkeys. sorry.

[yamaha893]

while the countries that have American bases in them probably dont really want them there, from what i can see they arent countries with terrorist issues. i dont see how removing bases from japan korea, australia or even iraq is going to reduce violence from extremists.

i also doubt that an apology is going to do much either, as nice a gesture as it might be.

[PersianPaladin]

The ultimate counter-terrorism weapon is monetary reform, the public independent investigation of 9/11 and of business-contracts with Saudi Arabia, Israel and Pakistan prior to 2001. This should then be followed by the United States and Britain apologising to both Iraq, Iran, Latin America, and many other countries which it has abused indirectly or directly. The US has 700 military bases around the world. Perhaps if they were gone, then so would the occasional terrorists that have struck.

[atenrok]

you forgot the investigation of JFK's death
