NOT YET. The goal of the Jihadists is to take over the world. So they are integrating themselves into Dominican society right now and immigration is allowing it to happen, and at the right time they will rise up because their goal is to either convert the "infidel" to Sharia law or kill him.
I don't blame you for thinking this is true. After all US media feeds you this fear mongering line over and over again, so naturally everyone will believe it's true. But it's not true.
This so called 'terrorism' problem may go away sooner if we actually listened and tried to understand their 'beef'. And yes, even tried to negotiate with them. I don't know anybody in history that's 'killed' a terrorist movement off, it's always been a negotiated settlement. Remember the IRA? remember Irgun? Remember Henri Christophe in Haiti next door? At the end of the day, you can't kill an idea, you can just kill the people and in doing so you make the idea stronger.
To suggest that 'they' want to take over the world is silly and trivializes the situation. I would in fact argue that it's 'us' that's taking over the world more than 'they' are. How else can you explain the reasons that "we' go over 'there' and install puppet governments that trample on democracy - so 'we' can secure free and clear access to 'their' natural or human resources.
The CIA has detailed the causes of this terrorism quite well. I'm sure CNN has summarized the concept of 'blow back'. Many Americans would be better served to get educated on the sources of this terrorism, or at the very least, listen to Republican Ron Paul's opinion on this subject matter as a coles notes of sorts!
Hi CHIP hope you had a nice week!
And FINALLY - this Dominican guy sort of proves the point doesn't he. There's no one such thing as 'Al Queda'. It's not an organization, it's a movement and an idea. You can play WHACK-A-TERRORIST-MOLE all you want, they'll just keep popping up, with different 'races' colors and genders. 'They' won't go away until 'we' address some of the sources of their anger and their blow back.
Many of the things 'we' do are untenable and morally indefensible. Many American so called leaders spew the same misinformed trivialization as CHIP has - that 'they' will try to exploit race relations etc just to take over the world.
But that's an academically dishonest approach, and misses the real causes of this type of terrorism. For example, I presume everyone here understands that 70% of Saudi Arabia is under 30 years old, unemployed, uneducated, and all because the leaders are corrupt, murderous, thieving, oppressive, and want to push everyone into a lulled state of religious obedience.
They don't want their people to be educated. They don't want a democracy. They don't want freedom for women. Because you know, then with that freedom comes democracy, voting, people demanding transparency on where all that oil money is going, and well... the end of a kingdom.
And what do our governments do? Take the side of democracy? Promote freedom? Nope, it's easier after all to deal with 1 royal family than to deal with democratically elected leaders who might change their minds and ask for a bigger cut.
And therein gentlemen, is the start of the 'source' of your terrorism. Not the desire to take over the world. The desire to punish uncle sam for sponsoring corrupt leaders to more easily steal natural resources and enslave an entire country.
I look forward to the howls of protest from CHIP. Should be fun.
