    Sunshine doesn't bother me.

    Now, people supporting basketball players dying of cancer?

    That bothers me.

    What you have to understand, YF, is that we are engaged in a public relations war alongside the actual flesh-and-blood wars we are fighting. Yes, it makes one roll his eyes when the White House and others constantly emphasize how much we respect the sanctity of Mohammad's image. And I understand why it can seem like a partial validation of radicalism's worldview.

    But we're not the audience.

    And the radicals aren't the audience.

    The audience is non-radical Muslims and also potentially radicalized Muslims, as well as other people the world over trying to decide whether the United States is an entity worth supporting.

    Can't help but look at the similarities between disenfranchised African American youths and muslim youths in Europe. Both groups
    are poorly educated with limited job prospects. As African American youths look to the thug life as glorified by rappers, muslim youth
    look to the jihadi terrorist life, both to fill a void.

    At the end of the day Kouachi is not much different than Michael Brown except his thinking might be more on a global scale.

    Virgins are overrated. I prefer experienced sluts.
