How about, instead of offering sarcasm and prayers, you do something actually useful for once and try to convince someone that you're right? In these discussions, all you do is preach; you never bother to develop arguments or support your rantings.
Like, I told you what my sources are. I told you why I believe what I believe. If you were interested in having an honest, open discussion about these issues, that's where you'd hook into and point to other sources supporting your position, but we both know that you are interested in neither openness nor honesty in these matters.
Project out 10 years - 20 years see where this is going. I think differently than you, ultimately you will have to decide whether to be Muslim or fight.
Fortunately, out here in the real world, we have these things called statistics and studies that show you to be wrong.
There are going to be crisis points in the near to mid future, yes. But they're not going to be about religious wars; climate change presents much more pressing issues than this little squabble between islam and what americans think christianity is.
As a result, the conflicts aren't going to be crusades; they're going to be humanitarian in nature with people fleeing countries that have become uninhabitable because of bullshit that could've been avoided if you and your generation hadn't insisted on being bad stewards of the environment.
Me...I am a keyboard warrior now due to my multiple health problems. I assume you are a fairly young to middle age man and I believe a world war is coming between Jihadists and the rest of the world. I hope my beliefs and thoughts are delusional and rantings of a old man but I do not think so. I pray for all the world leaders to make the correct decisions and also I pray for you (TheE).
You know what helps with these foreboding feelings? Looking beyond the limited set of news sources you're currently hooked on.
