because it is Terrorism; it is specifically designed to target civilians to cause terror among the masses, to destabilize the government and destroy public confidence in the system
But that's wrong. Targeting civilians strengthens the gov't. Always has and always will. These attacks didn't destabilize anything. There are a thousand better, soft even, targets to hit if the goal was real disruption.
And although I'm not a fan of any flavor of imaginary friend worship, the core problem here isn't religion. Certainly that's the tool d'jour used to recruit said nutcases but it isn't the cause.

Its not kneejerk to use christianity as a parallel to the f*#kery of islam, its a clear example. I agree
Islamic terrorist have killed less than 5,000 people here in America.
Christian terrorist used to kill 5,000 women every single year - for decades - before abortion became legal and women could get safe medical procedures. Christian terrorism has killed over 50,000 women here in the USA.
Who is the real threat to America? The Islamic foreigners in other countries who occasionally get through and kill here and there? Or the millions of Christians who are here in the USA who want to take away my freedom, subject me to their religious laws, and have killed our American women by the thousands?

Clearly Islam Hates US ..... all of us.
Stereotype much?
I worked for a Muslim. Mohammad was his name, and he was a great person.
He would go to happy hour with us(except during Ramadan).
I guess he really hated us.

Since Fattrad hasn't stepped back up and our Monkey Brains are still in overtime (**see note below), here ya go. Clash. Interesting if this will occur on Good Friday or not. The doomed man's picture, it says that he is facing crucifixion, Father Tom Uzhunnalil:
"Fears are growing for a priest believed to have been kidnapped by ISIS as sickening reports suggest he may be crucified on Good Friday. Father Tom Uzhunnalil was seized when four armed militants stormed an old people's home in Aden in Yemen on March 4. The gunmen killed 16 people, including four nuns, in the brutal attack on the home run by the in a brutal raid which killed 16 people including four nuns."

**President Obama says we are more likely to slip in a bathtub than be a victim of a terrorist attack. 464 people drowned in America in tubs in 2013, while 17 were killed here by terrorists in 2014.

YER GUNNA DIE..
Apparently many want to die with fascist on their tombstone.
Freaking out over one of the lowest causes of death there is.
Carry on idiotic cowards.
Two days ago over 3000 people in the US died from
CANCER
F*#K CANCER.. Not Muslims or even ISIS
I am pretty sickened by so called Americans who claim to have "values or convictions". Most apparently have no idea what those words mean. They do not mean abandon your principles every time you see something scary happening on TV.
Cowards ...very sad how many there are in this Nation.

It's amazing how many people confuse (1) don't be afraid and (b) don't do anything.
"Don't overreact. Don't be afraid. Don't do anything. Keep perspective. It's no big deal. It's only 30."
Of course these people - many liberals - will be the first to turncoat after the next 9/11 (the so-called 9/12) only to cry,
We didn't do enough.

This is true.
Why not poison our water systems? Destroy a dam? Take out electric and power systems?
These terror attacks are not destabilizing other than mentally destabilizing. I think that is the true goal of these fuk arses.

Classic, limited in number targets that are probably better secured than you believe. Poisoning a water supply, for example, would be a big operation.
Mentally destabilizing is, you guessed it, destabilizing.

Try it sometime.... what religion are 100% of the Jihadist warriors part of?
Now only a fool says 100% of the Muslims are Jihadies .... nobody is saying that.
And its good thing you know a Muslim.... I know some black folks too.

Well the a-hole who shot up San Berdoo with his broad worked right down the street from me and was a health inspector.
He went to numerous schools and other places. I'm sure he could have done some major damage with his intel and access to places. At least more damage than what occurred with the shootings.
So I don't think its so out there to think that some of these big operations as you say could be pulled off.

Never said it was. Just wondering what your concept of operation would be to poison a city water supply or blow up a dam? A guy with a test tube or a dude swimming up with a mine?

Never said I had a plan or a concept hahaha.
Perhaps I should think of a good plan then upload it here?
I'm just simply saying I agree that the normal terror attacks are not destabilizing other than mentally.

You make it sound as if we sit around quaking in our homes waiting for a terrorist attack.
If you choose to ignore the fact that your country has been targeted for random, indiscriminate murder, that's fine.
If you choose to ignore the fact these threats are currently being acted upon on an increasing number, that's fine too! You'll probably never be in the same town of one of these attacks.
You're safe, no need to worry about being personally affected by Islamic terrorism.
Don't worry about the innocent people ripped apart with nail/rat-poison bombs. Their families will grieve for them and they'll be just fine.
Nothing to see here, you will be fine.

TATP is a nasty, nasty explosive. A lot of heat/flames.
Not too hard to make either, just be careful with the finished product. Very sensitive to temps/friction/agitation. (a lot of premature explosions in terrorist attacks)
