    Weird how all the other extremists seem to have definite and concrete grievances whereas ISIS seems to just be randomly generated chaotic NPCs

      All other extremists? The guy who shot up Christchurch? Was his grievance legitimate? The guys who burn synagogues? When the kkk bombed a church killing 3 children? I don’t think they were from my view. They aren’t chaotic, but their rational is not based on things outside of religion. I don’t see that as npc things. They are human, and humans do not all see things the same. I’m not the one putting my views on them. They say they feel a way, and I believe them. For some reason you can’t. It must be the cia, or America. I’ll give you one thing. The circumstances that created them were certainly the fault of the US intentional or not.

        Did I say anything about legitimacy? No! I said definite and concrete. Even if their beliefs are bullshit they still believe in something!

        Their religion isn’t “kill everyone” so who they target is selective. This honestly comes across as Islamophobia - ‘they’re just monsters, who knows what they motivated by!’

        Why did they select China?

            Maybe, but it strikes me as strange that they hate all other sects and national groups except the Uyghurs. Also, they’d be the only group that actually does care outside the West. Very strange.

            Not really maybe. In the article they say it, but neofacist cartoon character pic over here you are replying to probably didn’t read it. They say it’s for the Uyghurs and the support of the Taliban. They don’t like the taliban because they are their local authority.
