Sad straw man argument, Ms. Benson. No one is trying to hug a suicide bomber. You’re as bad as some of the least informed posters here in terms of being unable to differentiate between the overwhelming majority of Muslims who are just trying to live their lives and the wackjobs.
“The West”?The same “west” which destroyed the anti-jihadist governments of Afghanistan in the 80s, and then Iraq and Libya, and which has devastated the anti-jihadist government of Syria? That “west”?
“Waiting for the outpouring of condemnation from good Muslims in 3, 2, 1, …”-You mean like:-http://abc7chicago.com/news/chicagos-muslim-community-condemns-brussels-terror-attacks/1258141/-http://qz.com/550104/muslims-around-the-world-condemn-terrorism-after-the-paris-attacks/-http://muslimscondemningthings.tumblr.com/-http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2016/01/15/indonesia-muslim-voices-mohsin-pkg.cnn-^^ Is that what you were looking for?
So, Ms. Benson, what do you suggest? How ready are you to slide your feet into some combat boots? You ready to pull the trigger, start killing? Frankly I don’t see you as that kind of type. You’re more the, let’s send someone else’s kid to the war type, aren’t you? You do know that there is all kind’s of options between killing ‘em all and hugging them, don’t you? We can contain them, educate them, rehabilitate them even. But then again, I don’t see you as that kind of person either. So you just go on, make your smug little jokes and continue to be part of the problem.
First impression Ms. Benson does not fully understand the coexist people. Yes there are a few fluffy bunnies (every group/movement has fluffy bunny wannabes) in the midst of the movement, but there are also fierce warriors who will fight back most fiercely.
Coexist is about recognizing that each person walks their own path and trying to live and work together on shared paths and not condemning or converting others over, within coexist there is no room for extremists from any path of faith.
This toon doesn’t show on the right side is the “Christian” promising glowing sands and waterboarding creating more and more of these jihadists. The Coexist recognizing that war is breeding these terrorists and it is the “I’ll change when they do” mentality that is getting more people killed on both sides.Please, tell us what your big idea is – how is making fun of people who want peace getting you any closer to ending terrorism? Or is it because you have no real ideas that all you are left with is poking fun?I am disgusted by the right-wing who celebrates every bomb a terrorist sets off because they think it makes them “more better” than Obama. You’d fiddle while the U.S. burned if you could pin it on a “liberal”
Lisa thinks it is the middle coexisters that are hugging DAESH, but it is the extremist like her that want to hug and blow each other up. Who are the people that want to all the soldiers into sucide bomb of the middle east?Lisa comic bolsters DAESH trying to take a pop shot at people who want peace in doing so she is siding with the people that are for war and violence.DAESH hates being called DAESH they want to be known as ISISArabic translator Alice Guthrie investigates ‘Daesh’, the new name for ISIS recently adopted by several world leaders because it delegitimises the group’s activities. But how can a new name undermine a terrorist organisation?https://www.freewordcentre.com/blog/2015/02/daesh-isis-media-alice-guthrie/Depending on how it is conjugated in Arabic, the word can mean “to trample down and crush.” But it can also mean “a bigot.” ISIS has reportedly threatened to cut out the tongues of anyone it hears using the term. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/paris-attacks-what-does-daesh-mean-why-does-isis-hate-n463551
I’d be fine with internment camps…if that’s where Trump & Cruise & all their supporters were placed :p Yep keep letting the terrorist’s win with your Islamaphobia Lisa

The danger of ostracising moderate Islam, is that it gives the Radicals an excuse to further their agenda.
Cause & effect are not always in the right order in some people.

Great cartoon, Lisa. I’ll start “coexisting” when they start “coexisting”; I refuse to be a victim of their “coexisting”…

Libs actually believe they can get jihadists to love them if they are just nice enough. Oh well, if they had a brain they wouldn’t be libs.

If Hillary gets to the White House, she could just hit a “Reset” button with the jihadists.
