correct, it's classic pro-terrorist propaganda and that's why you removed it. are you also denying that you're an unabashed anti-semite and anti Judeo-Christian despite everything you've always said?
the vast majority support the 2nd amendment so it'll never happen, don't worry.Comment -
Palestine has its own government (the PLO/PNA), a defined and controlled territory, a permanent population (one to four million Palestinians), and the ability to maintain relations with other states. So whatever we think about what should happen in the future, Palestine does seem to qualify as a de facto sovereign state at the present.Comment -

Hey kraken asshole, maybe you need to go back and read the post. I'm not on anyone's nuts your right wing piece of shit. Paco and I are worlds apart on our beliefs, treatment of women, and the violence and atrocities committed against jewish people. Not to mention he has said some hateful shit on here and does advocate islamic terrorism as an acceptable solution.Shut the fukk up mike
you think paco cares if your on his nutz now?
your a nobody you fat liberal dick sucking --
instead of stroking paco now that's it's clear he's 10x the man you are, how about you get over yourself and realize nobody gives a fukk what you think about paco
God I hate people like you, so fukking worthless
Of course your feeble dumb fuk brain can't comprehend when people with major differences, can still find some common ground. That's how president Obama solved nuclear proliferation in Iran and lifted economic sanctions against that country with diplomacy, and not violence and war.
Paco is not a hero, he merely acted according and prevented a bad situation from becoming worse, without firing a single shot. You on the other hand probably would have come out there guns blazing, shot an innocent bystander or another valet responding to scene or worse.
So karken, go put donald trump's dick back in you mouth and keep sucking bro, while you watch sarah palin nut job propaganda videos! Losers like you are exactly the reason republicans will never win the Presidency, have any control over world problems, and keep young intelligent people like me in the winning majority.
No man is better that any other you big mouth idiot, we are all equal. The difference being intelligence, of which your stupid ass has none.Comment -

From today's NYTimes article
My Friend, the Former Muslim Extremist
Nicholas Kristof FEB. 20, 2016
<header id="story-header" class="story-header">
</header>
WHENEVER a Muslim carries out a terror attack in the West, the question arises: Why do they hate us?
Provocative answers come from my friend Rafiullah Kakar, who has lived a more astonishing life than almost anyone I know. Rafi is a young Pakistani who used to hate the United States and support the Taliban. His brother joined the Taliban for a time, but now I worry that the Taliban might try to kill Rafi — ah, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
One of 13 children, Rafi is a Pashtun who grew up in a mud home close to the Afghan border, in an area notorious for tribal feuds and violent clashes. His parents are illiterate farmers, and it looked as if Rafi’s education would end in the fifth grade, when he was sent to a madrasa. His mom wanted him to become a hafiz, someone who has memorized the entire Quran.
“One reason people send kids to madrasa is that a hafiz can get to paradise and take 10 other people along,” Rafi notes, explaining a local belief about getting to heaven. “My mother wanted me to be a hafiz, so I could be her ticket to paradise.”
Ultimately, Rafi’s life was transformed because his eldest brother, Akhtar, pinched pennies and sent Rafi to the best public school in the family’s home province, Balochistan. Rafi had an outstanding mind and rocketed to the top of his class. But he also fell under the spell of political Islam. A charismatic Islamic studies teacher turned Rafi into a Taliban sympathizer who despised the West.
“I subscribed to conspiracy theories that 9/11 was done by the Americans themselves, that there were 4,000 Jews who were absent from work that day,” Rafi recalls. “I thought the Taliban were freedom fighters.”
I’ve often written about education as an antidote to extremism. But in Pakistan, it was high school that radicalized Rafi. “Education can be a problem,” Rafi says dryly.
He’s right. It’s possible to be too glib about the impact of education: Osama bin Laden was an engineer. Ayman al-Zawahri, the current leader of Al Qaeda, is a trilingual surgeon. Rafi notes that Pakistani doctors or engineers are sometimes extremists because in that country’s specialized education system they gain the confidence of a university degree without the critical thinking that (ideally) comes from an acquaintance with the liberal arts.
Donor countries should support education, Rafi says, but pay far more attention to the curriculum. I think he’s right, and we should also put more pressure on countries like Saudi Arabia to stop financing extremist madrasas in poor countries in Africa and Asia.
We should also invest in girls’ education, for it changes entire societies. Educated women have fewer children, which reduces the youth bulge in a population — one of the factors that correlates most strongly to terrorism and war. And educating girls changes boys. Ones like Rafi.
When Rafi attended college in the city of Lahore, he encountered educated women for the first time. Previously, he had assumed that girls have second-rate minds, and that educated women have loose morals.
“I’d never interacted with a woman,” he said. “Then in college there were these talented, outspoken women in class. It was a shock.” It was part of an intellectual journey that led Rafi to become a passionate advocate for girls’ education, including in his own family. His oldest sisters are illiterate, but his youngest sister is bound for college.
Rafi won a Fulbright scholarship to study at Augustana College in South Dakota, an experience that left him more understanding of the United States, though still exasperated at many American policies. After college he won a Rhodes scholarship, and last year he completed graduate studies at Oxford.
He’s now in London, writing for Pakistani newspapers, and he plans to return to Pakistan to start a boarding school for poor children in Balochistan, and ultimately to enter politics — if the Taliban don’t get him on a return trip to his village.
Today Rafi is a voice against the Taliban, against conspiracy theories and against blind anti-Americanism, in part because the United States did not take Donald Trump’s advice to ban Muslims. Extremist American voices like Trump’s, Rafi says, empower extremist voices throughout the Islamic world.
“It’s people like Donald Trump who are put forward by the extremists back home,” Rafi told me. “It pours cold water on us.”
To fight Islamic terrorism, the West spends billions of dollars on drones, missiles and foreign bases. Yet we neglect education and the empowerment of women, which if done right can be even more transformative. The trade-offs are striking: For the cost of deploying one soldier for a year, we could start more than 20 schools.
Rafi teaches us that a book can be a more powerful force against extremism than a drone. But it has to be the right book!Comment -
First for me in this post
I was called right wing
I was called Karken
And I was told to put Donald Trumps dick back in my mouth
Let me set something straight for you Top Pot, you don't get to decide who is a hero and who is not, you simply get to shove more donuts in your fat fukking pie hole. How about you go ask the victim whether he's a hero, her family, ask them, the ones involved. The fact he acted and prevented the situation from becoming worse makes him a hero, because worse would've meant death for the victim
I understand your hero is Jared Fogle, he was once a lard ass like yourself and lost some weight, plus he got to hook up with kids for a while, but in the real world, this was a heroic act by Paco
Since you've embarrassed yourself in your last post by missing EVERY SINGLE MAJOR POINT you attempted to address, do yourself a favor and act like you didn't even read this oneComment -
