@gotobedandtickler Dude, learn history. Even heard about the Ottoman Empire, Morocco or the Golden Horde? All were muslim and attacked Europe.

As a Norwegian having a nuclear Iran would be very beneficial to our welfare state. 9/11 was a goldmine for the norwegian oil export industry. An inside joke in norway is that it was our government that orchestrated it.

@gotobedandtickler "What Muslim country has ever attack the usa, gb, and so on." Recently? The Islamic Republic of Iran when it overran our embassy (sovereign American territory, by the way, universally considered an act of war for centuries) and held Americans hostage for a few hundred days.

Before that the Arab nations sided with the Nazis, and before that they were the Ottomans against the West, and before that it was the Barbary Corsairs.

There is plenty of casus belli to go around.

This clip is made by idiots, for the idiots, who are ruled by idiots. This clip is orchestrated, for fools. Muslims pose no threat, look in the mirror and you will see who the threat is. Saddam Hussein, wmd ??? where ?? how many killed ?? why ?? fuck me everyone, turn your tv sets off and turn to reality. What muslim country has ever attacked the usa, gb, and so on. It is all a tv show the masses chose to believe. Beam me up scotty, this planet ruled is by reptiles.

@banheden So idealistic. "Just make friends!" Sadly, there are people who won't play nice, who "are not products of the enlightenment" to quote Hanson.

The US is not your enemy. Wikileaks really only showed that behind the scenes US diplomats were trying to make a safer world: why wasn't there no uproar as Assange surely wanted? Nada to point a finger at.

But for the US's big stick the world would be a lot less safe.

Who now has the Iraqi oil contracts? Not the US. France, Russia... not the US.

it's interesting to see predictions made and where they went right/wrong, a year later...

@banheden Hey Banheden So whats the deal with Malmo are you not being nice enough to your Muslim population in Sweeden? Is that why they riot have horrific honnor killings and attack outsiders such as firemen. I can't wait to debate you

@ridequik1 dude... who made the world unstable? it wasnt Iran, like it wasnt them who created Al qaida and made up the word terrorism. It isnt them who has started wars after wars for political and capitalistic gains. The only true enemy here is USA. Without their trying to be world police we wouldn't have terrorism today. Best way to defend your country is NOT to bomb others, it is to befriend them! And as you have put it, no money = no reign. Take a good luck at the wellfare of USA, its declin
