International Christmas Day Carnage: Trump Launches Attacks on Islamic State in Nigeria

My understanding is that innocent people are getting killed in Nigeria by Islamic terrorists, so I support defending them. I just don't think the Bible can be used for that defense.

Unfortunately Islamists in these countries understand that better than Christians themselves, which is why you see their numbers decreasing in every single one of these countries(though if I remember correctly recently there was an African country who supposedly had a chrstian majority for the first time. I can't remember which one, plus it may have been social media lies).
 
So the Ecclesiastes quote is just saying there is a time for war, it is talking about seasons, it is not a justification for war, just saying we will have it.

The Old Testament clearly has examples of war being needed. But the NewTestament has none. Peter is told to put away the sword.

Exactly. Don’t you love watching people try to bible lawyer against Jesus’ words though?
 
Glad that Trump is trying to stop the killings of Christians in Nigeria. Hopefully some long term solution to the issue can be made, though after seeing what has happened in Gaza i'm not so optimistic.

Would be wonderful if a deal could be made over Nigeria's rare earth metals. It would be nice to have options for these minerals outside of China's control.
 
AIt is unchristian. You’re quoting Old Testament verses. The New Testament supersedes the Old Testament in any cases where they conflict. Jesus was pretty clear on his thoughts about war.
The idea that there was an "update" should really bring you internal pause.
 
If I didn't know any better I'd suspect this was done as a distraction but what's going on that they would want to distract from ?

You're broken

This is what's always been wrong with us foreign policy

Selective intervention based on access to natural resources

And wasn't one of the reasons you people voted for trump was that he was going to end the us being the world's police force and stay out of foreign conflicts ?
 
Jesus would’ve wanted the smoke

Bad people sometimes do good things for purely selfish reasons. Is Trump going Full Wag the Dog to distract from the Epstein Files? Almost certainly. Could he benefit financially from Nigeria's national resources? Possibly.

Are ISIS the most vicious terrorist group in the world and every single member deserves to get turned into pink mist and bone shards? Without a shadow of a doubt.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons to hate on Trump. Killing ISIS terrorists isn't one of them.
 
"Actually Jesus was pro war and didn't care about peace."

- supposed christians now, apparently?


They're being massacred by radical Muslims in Nigeria, I think they can turn a blind eye to certain things to ensure their very survival and that of their children. Fuck Boko Haram, fuck ISIS, let 'em fly.
 
ISIS are Sunni and follow an ultra-radical Salafi-jihadist ideology, which is a strict, literalist interpretation of Sunni Islam. They consider Shia Muslims, Sufis, and other Islamic sects “apostates” and justify attacks against them as religiously sanctioned. ISIS label Christians and Jews as “People of the Book” and according to their extremist interpretation, anyone who refuses to submit to their version of Islam must convert, pay a tax, flee, or be executed. Other religions such as Yazidis, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and the likes are considered idolatrous and heretical thus justifying enslavement, execution, or forced conversion of those groups. Muslims make up the majority of victims simply because they make up the vast majority of the population in ISIS-controlled areas and are caught in indiscriminate attacks. Minority religious groups (Christians, Yazidis) suffer far higher rates of targeted killing and atrocities relative to their population.

I am Atheist and I think organized religion as a whole has no compatibility with our world today and particular the more violent and extremist sects of all the major religions
 
The more I think about it, I've wanted to see Boko Haram get their shit fucked up for a while now. It's not just Nigeria that these vermin are causing hell in, its the surrounding countries too.

We've had a presence in Nigeria for a while now. The only people surprised by this all dullards that aren't worth thinking about.
 
I’ll never forget this one video these Boko Harama bastards had. They captured a village and were beheading dudes 1 by 1 and throwing them into a hole. The guys getting their heads cut off just went with it and casually let them without any screams.
