The ISIS Megathread

[paranoid android]

Don't worry mate, Western Sydney's a big place and we are not in danger of running out of Islamic spastics anytime soon.

I guess this is like the whole "Islam has a little problem with suicide bombing" thing right?
Nothing wrong with the core belief system - its just a little problem with rape and murder and pillage.


I'm pretty sure that these four were lost to a crackpot ideology many years ago. This is just the inevitable conclusion of that.

As for morons going off to fight for ISIS it has fuck all to do with Islam. There are people from Canada who have joined up with Kurdish fighters to fight ISIS and guess what religion alot of them are . ISIS is merely another group of reactionaries using the same perverted form of Islam to try and justify the fact they are little more then warlords.

You're pretty cocky for someone from a nation that started as a prison colony.

Hey L2R!

I see another four of your neighbours have decided to answer their true calling in Syria.

I figure you probably went to school with them right? Can you get me an autograph? ROFL

Whats that now, about fifty or 60 Muzzas from your suburb and surrounds that have gone to fight with ISIS?

You'll start running out of "diversity" at this rate. :D

What suburb of Melbourne do you live in, MW?

As a mod do you think it's OK for someone to be using a derogatory word for cerebral palsy to describe an ethnic group?

If you ask these recruits I'm pretty sure that they will tell you that it has everything to do with Islam. The fact that there are different sectarian factions with different allegiances does not change the fact that the driving force behind this is a violent supremacist ideology.

Oh wait, I thought it was a religion....or maybe its a culture? Gee I guess it gets to be whatever is most convenient and expedient depending on the situation.

WTF has that got to do with anything?

Both of which are elements of ethnicity. Didn't they teach you that in your first year sociology class?

An ethnic group or ethnicity is a socially-defined category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience.[1][2] Membership of an ethnic group tends to be defined by a shared cultural heritage, ancestry, myth of origins, history, homeland, language (dialect), or even ideology, and manifests itself through symbolic systems such as religion, mythology and ritual, cuisine, dressing style, physical appearance, etc.

There just fucking gangsters flying the Islamic flag little more and little else. The brand of Islam that ISIS claims to follow didn't even come about really until the 60's in Saudi Arabia and every shitbag warlord group from the mujahideen (funded by the Yanks against the Soviets and later to become the Taliban) to ISIS has looked to Wahhabism ever since as a excuse to justify their bullshit ever since.

As for the Kurds in their case it's more of a ethnic conflict as ISIS considers them infidels. They are playing their cards right so far by using a United Front against ISIS which is actually working much unlike the Shia led government forces who can't even seem to work a fucking machine gun. Also it's important to point out that not all Kurds are Muslims. Many are Christians, Yazidis, Zoroastrian and Jewish. So it's not simply a sectarian fight as ISIS hate the Kurds as ISIS are by and large made up of Sunni's. Though they seem to be taking all comers now by the looks of things. ISIS are really reminiscent of fascist groups in that they attract the dumbest, most ignorant and most alienated people out there especially when it comes to the west. They thrive on stupidity, ignorance and reaction to a perceived threat on Islam and the promise of some stupid glorious Islamic state. I guess they think the going to revive a more pure version of the Ottoman Empire or some such shit and look how well that worked out the first time around 8) . If that's not reactionary i don't know what is

Okay i'll take a crack at this. Your country was founded by abunch of British imperialists who used the uprisings in Ireland as a excuse to label them all criminals and use convict labour to build your shagging country. Not happy with merely trying to wipe out the Indigenous population of Australia the British had to exploit the problems in Ireland to build your fucking country as the British Empire seemed incapable of doing any manual labour themselves. So basically Australia as exists today came about because of a 2 front imperialist war.

In other words your crowd can't very well fucking talk considering the amount of misery needed to build Australia in the first place.

Just making generalizations. Or is that only okay when it comes to Muslim immigrants but not okay when it comes to western-European Australians?

You can report it if you think that it's outside the guidelines of CE&P.

But a quick google search doesn't seem to indicate it's a derogatory word for cerebral palsy.

And besides, I wasn't even using it to describe all Muslims, just the extremists. Youre such a Spazo L2R

Australian slang for a retarded person - spastic, spazo, spazzo. Usually not used to refer to a genuinely disabled person, but a moron. Also further abbreviated to spack.
"Jeez Gazza's a spazo. He cracked onto a total babe at the pub last night and was too shitfaced to root her".

You just can't be this pedantic while simultaneously this conceptually sloppy; it just doesn't cohere, thematically or just generally semantically.

So I guess the whole of latin america is denied the right to a political opinion because of the actions of the Spanish? What about americans for the wholesale slaughter of native Americans?

Those in the BL community being grievously afflicted with logorrhoea and loquaciousness oftentimes are compelled to elucidate ad nauseum to the point of losing the original thread that prompted the reply. Is excessive verbosity and presumptuous verbiage sufficient to repel non-socialists from queries?

I don't like ebola's verbosity either. I find it shallow and pedantic.

But a quick google search doesn't seem to indicate it's a derogatory word for cerebral palsy.

The medical term “spastic” became used to describe cerebral palsy.[citation needed] The Spastics Society, a UK charity for people with cerebral palsy, was founded in 1951.

However, the word began to be used as an insult and became a term of abuse used to imply stupidity or physical ineptness: one who is uncoordinated or incompetent, or a fool.[3] It was often colloquially abbreviated to shorter forms such as "spaz".

Its derogatory use grew considerably in the 1980s.[citation needed] This is sometimes attributed to the BBC children’s show Blue Peter. During the International Year of Disabled Persons (1981), several episodes featured a man with cerebral palsy (described as a "spastic") named Joey Deacon. Phrases such as "joey", "deacon", and "spaz" became widely used insults amongst children at that time.[4]

The Spastics Society changed its name to Scope in 1994. The words then gradually dropped out of common usage as they came to be regarded as offensive.[citation needed]

The current understanding of the word is well-illustrated by a BBC survey in 2003, which found that "spastic" was the second most offensive term in the UK relating to disability (retard was deemed most offensive).[2] In 2007, Lynne Murphy, a linguist at the University of Sussex, described the term as being "one of the most taboo insults to a British ear".[1]

 

[L2R]

i regularly refer to having the "friday spastics" as describing that time of a working friday in which the exhaustion of a week's worth of intellectually and emotionally engaging work toll and the anticipation of a weekend off along with the prospects of alcoholic relaxation turns one into a giddy and silly person.

no offense is taken nor intended through years of using the term.

lol

ebola isn't actually verbose. he is incredibly efficient with his language, tending to use less common words where others would have to explain entire concepts. there's no requirement to feel insecure or intimidated by it. he's just a guy who cares about the meanings of words and has a significant vocabulary.

I wasn't actually being serious there i was just trying to get your dander up. Id be hard pressed to say which country was founded upon worse principles Australia or Canada actually.

Pfft. Oh gosh, what, are you his boyfriend? Awwwwwwwww.

Middleway's post was dead on.

Ebola get's off on believing that his old world dialect is some how superior. I mean the guy uses ten synonyms in one post for Christ's sake.

Again, Goodjob middleway, I'm glad someone finally said something.
