Am I the only one who's not afraid to admit?

[Straw Hat Luffy]

That I have no clue of what's going on right now?

I just know the summary. Paris got bombed, Isis declared they will get America too, lots of American citizens are critizing Obama right now.

But am I the only one able to admit I know nothing about anything? From our past history to the current events?

All of this shyt is so confusing and is hard to form an opinion. I see people posting on fb like they know what they're talking about when they really don't. I see people saying we should prepare for war. I see my relatives saying why should we help Paris when everyone over their thrived on blacks.

Honestly its too many angles coming at once and I refuse to act like I know enough to choose a side or form an opinion.

Can people edcuate me?

- Middle East countries have issues, mostly economical but of course their leaders use religion in order to control the people.

- US and its allies get involved in the affairs of Middle East countries without realizing the complexity of said issues.

- This involvement causes instability and resentment towards Western nations. The instability encourages the creation of terrorist groups and organizations that ALSO use religion as the backdrop to the greater goal of control of regions, states and countries.

- Terrorist organizations attack US cities as well as the cities of their allies (Paris, London, Madrid, etc.)

- Allies respond via bombings and military strikes.

- More instability and hatred because often times civilians are hit in these strikes

- Civilians decide to become terrorists because they've lost a love one or just because of anger.

- Terrorist organizations attack US cities as well as the cities of their allies (Paris, London, Madrid, etc.)

- Allies respond via bombings and military strikes.

- People put up flags as the backgrounds to their Facebook pics.

- Rinse, Repeat.

Seems like our fault.

What's your opinion on all of this ?

I think that America and its allies need to accept that they've played a role in the creation of the monster that is brewing in the middle east. They need to tell SA and Israel that our diplomatic ties will be severed unless their leaders publicly denounce all forms of terrorism, murder, or acts of violence in the name of religion or God and that steps will be taken to severely punish anyone involved in terrorist organizations or groups.

Just like with 9/11, these people got hit in the mouth and then look around like "What? I ain't even do nothing"

Knowing damn well they was playing both sides (shyt I don't like!) and stirring up trouble.

And then? We need to GET THE fukk OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST. Leave these people to their own devices man. They want to pray to some ancient sand God/Prophet in the middle of the desert then let them do that shyt.

They don't "hate our freedom" they hate when we try to use our freedom as an excuse to meddle in the affairs of other nations when we ourselves are imperfect as fukk!

You should try to educate yourself on the issues. Read a wide-range of press and literature, become familiar with the biases of each outlet, and form your own opinions.

Where do you go to get information?

The American media has positioned ISIS as a villain from a TV show that they watch, and not as an international terrorist organization with far reaching sleeper cells that are itching for a reason for let America feel their pain.

It's better to admit you don't know than to act like you do and spew bs

Western Colonialism

Religion comes first, shia/sunni divide has been an issue since forever in that area. Also take into account that there was also the Ottoman Empire before Western colonialism.
