you're probably right, but why does it matter

For example, the following article obviously has a point of view:
http://fair.org/home/arms-deal-stories-omit-war-crimes-arms-will-be-used-for/

But that doesn't mean it's not filled with useful, factual information

Which the intercept and the other left wing news sources I tend to cite (jacobin, secular talk, current affairs, FAIR, etc.) definitely don't

I'm pretty sure you're not the person to be making arguments about partisan internet news sites

I should probably point out that these two articles are making slightly different points, and I completely agree with the 2nd one and only partially agree with the first

https://theintercept.com/2017/03/29/you-shouldnt-blame-islam-for-terrorism-religion-isnt-a-crucial-factor-in-attacks/

https://theintercept.com/2017/02/18/why-do-so-many-americans-fear-muslims-decades-of-denial-about-americas-role-in-the-world/

it's as pertinent as coming into a thread about a tragedy and pretending to be an expert on how the Qur'an commands Muslims to kill people

my point is that the terrorist groups with that sort of fundamentalism are being funded by US allies, who are all also authoritarian regimes

if someone wants to come in and say I'm oversimplifying things, because sometimes terror attacks are lone actors and ISIS or whoever claims responsibility after the fact, and because a small but still troubling minority of people in the middle east support terrorist attacks against the US and the UK, then I guess I'm just one of many people saying overly simplistic shit in this thread

not to mention the fact that you don't hear people saying

when the US (and the UK) invade countries that didn't attack them and kill hundreds of thousands of civilians

funny how that works

If you want to make it about religion then you should probably mention the fact that the US just made a $400 billion deal with Saudi Arabia, a fundamentalist Wahhabi Salafi Islamic state that is the single biggest sponsor of Sunni extremism and terrorism in the world

go out and vote guys, I don't even care who you choose as long as you're exercising your civic duty!!!

but jeremy corbyn wears ugly sweaters and seems pretentious so we can't possibly vote him instead!!

I feel like get right could revitalize his career if he just switched to a diff team

I don't see him ever reaching a high level on nip again

re: trump and free speech, don't hold your breath

"Alone in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump began the discussion by condemning leaks to the news media, saying that Mr. Comey should consider putting reporters in prison for publishing classified information, according to one of Mr. Comey’s associates."
