I'm 33 years old. The first time the WTC was bombed, I was 10. The last 23 years I've lived in a time where a ideology has been allowed to grow, and ideology that stands for NOTHING that this free nation stands for. Any ideology set out only to destroy.

An ideology that treats women like human rights violations. Where in certain nations, you cannot look a man in the eye. God forbid you try and get an education or love someone you actually want to love and not sold off to. Where thousands upon thousands of women are killed by their own family every single year, because of some sort of honor. An ideology, that in 50 countries that support parts or all of this ideology, only 5 of them can a gay person live their life without fear of being persecuted by their government. 10 of those nations sentence homosexuals to death. 45 of them have laws against homosexuality, or homosexual acts. 90 freaking percent you will be arrested for being gay. 20 percent you will be put to death. 10 percent can you actually live and not be arrested.

An ideology that threatens the existence of everything we care about. Not only that, but this ideology is the greatest threat that muslims themself face. Don't accept the caliphate? your dead? If you are a child, maybe you'll just become a slave. If you are a woman, you'll be raped until you die.

We mustn't forget that this ideology is more harmful towards the muslim community than anyone else. That the vast majority of terrorist attacks carried out by this line of thinking are attacks against the muslim people in muslim countries. That Sharia law hurts them way more than it hurts our Western nations. It hurts the women, it hurts the gays, it hurts children, it hurts everyone and it certainly hurts advancement. That the acceptance of a caliphate is the goal of the ideology, and anyone that doesnt accept this is the enemy, and the VAST majority of muslims do not accept the caliphate.

So an attack occurs 90 miles from my home, at a club i've been to, at a club that a couple of my friends frequent. The attacker subscribes to the ideology mentioned above. What is the response I see? We must respect this ideology. Islam is peace. This has to do with the Christian treatment of gays and republican policy. Please read the past few lines if you subscribe to such lunacy... realize how stupid it sounds, how dangerous your political correctness is.

And realize that by turning a blind eye to the evils of this ideology, you are hurting the people who you pretend to care about the most.

I am sick of 23 years worth of terror attacks. I will not stand by quietly and allow an ideology to thrive. And I will certainly never allow someone to tell me I need to respect something that would love to see me dead in an instant.

Read. Research. Understand. This **** is important. This **** is real.
