He is calling for us to be as immoral, depraved and violent as our enemies.

You are with trump on this issue, yes?

I think it's now more important than ever that plea for peace amidst this chaos, we must not allow ourselves to react emotionally or out of anger, it's now more than ever that the voices of peace must be the loudest...

I could not disagree more.

It is more than just foreign policy, resource theft, and war atrocities perpetrated by the west, but that is the core of it, and that has created the situations which jihadist terrorism arose out of...

Regardless of what created the situation, how we are going to handle it is the more important issue.

I fully believe in self-defense in a situation like this, but it doesn't apply to world politics and conflict. This applies to the individual in that situation who was forced to defend themselves and their family, and the reasoning behind such actions in such situations does not apply to global conflict and warfare, and should not be incorporated into conversation regarding regarding how to handle modern terrorism.

I still confront negativity and violence with peace and love in all situations, and even in the rare and extreme situations where I may have to brake my commitment to peace, I still never feel it was fully acceptable even though it was "justified".

Now more than ever we must speak up for peace.
