People don't give a shit about what people who don't affect them do. Witness our apathy towards a lot of far flung places where horrible shit happens that we don't care about.

I think if you did those things and lived under Shria...I think a good portion of the Jihadists would leave us alone, yes. - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:30 8
- They'd have no reason to act if we weren't over there. The fact that we wouldn't be Muslims wouldn't enter into it. - Reagen Nov 16, 10:34 7

    - I'm not sure what you mean. They acted for a very specific reason but "our freedoms" don't enter into it. - Reagen Nov 16, 10:39
