    I was talking about drug cartels, Neo-Nazis, and Islamic extremists, not your “bros”.

      Some of those are better people than their enemies too. All of them sometimes.

      It’s a real problem that guerillas use insecure means of communication. They are an important component of our world’s stability. A counterweight, so to say.

        Enough with the bad faith semantic arguments, we’re talking about groups that organize at scale on Telegram. ISIS heavily recruits and organizes on Telegram, that’s why I brought up Islamic extremism.

        Any campaign of extremist violence, regardless of ideology, is a problem. Now kindly back off unless you have something of substance to say.

        Islamists have committed a genocide against Yazidis and Assyrians just a few years ago. Islamists are also committing crimes against Christians in a few places in Africa you’ve never heard about.

        Christianity, when it’s not European, is a much more humane religion than Islam. Should be the reason why European colonial powers were so eager to rely on Muslims in India and Africa, again.

        Hindu terror is a thing. Last time I heard it was against Christians though, just recently. They also have a rather harsh regime in Kashmir, but that’s mirrored on the Pakistani side, so a draw between Hindus and Muslims.

        Zionism is not a religion.
