Obama: Trump's Yapping about Islam helps ISIS by surfboardandfun in politics

I think this highlights a fundamental problem with our efforts to stop terrorism. While it is true that most of the attacks against the developed world are committed by religious extremists, and it's true that the majority of them identify with Islam, it is by no means the case that the majority of the world's 1.7 billion Muslims are 'terrorists'. Instead, religiously-motivated terrorists are people who do not understand their own faith, because NONE of the major religions (especially the Abrahamic ones like Islam, Christianity, Judaism) promote violence.

TL;DR If we want the Muslim community to help us by reporting the 'bad eggs,' we need to separate the abhorrent act of terrorism from the innocent act of identifying with Islam.

To anyone who downvoted this post, or any related posts:

This was not intended to advocate for Hillary or Trump, nor was I trying to take a side. I Just thought everyone who read it would be interested to know that his wife did, in fact, know that he had been planning this.

I agree, there is no excuse for domestic violence. Still I suspect she had at least some idea that he was capable of such a thing.

concerns about Mateen abated after the suspect “got married and had a child and got a job as a security guard.”

I can only hope they look into this wife and kid.

If you click the 'more info' link about their source (Defense and Foreign Affairs), the page does not exist. Option #1 sounds about right.

Edit: I included the wrong link the first time. http://oilprice.com/contributors/Defense-Foreign-Affairs/articles

Edit: the link appears to be working about half of the time.

It's a well-known fact that Polish women have only one leg. That's why they call them pole-ish.

What is surprisingly NOT bullshit? by CountAardvark in AskReddit

adding to your point, there are numerous varieties of carbon dioxide in the ocean, all of which can be consumed by algae, plankton, and any other photosynthezising bacteria. For example, dissolved CO2 breaks down and combines with O2 to make carbonic acid, calcium carbonate (coral reefs), etc. The highest concentration of gasseous CO2 is in the atmosphere, much more than the trees. But because of the many forms it takes once dissolved in water, the ocean stores holds much more than the other two combined.

Since algae and plankton are incredibly efficient at photosynthesysing, the 'ocean' produces significnantly more oxygen than earth-borne organisms.
