You can't beat terrorism. Whilst some people disagree, I believe this to be a fact. Sure you can kill terrorists but this invariably creates more terrorists. Say you are in your country with your family, just an ordinary family with a wife and 2 sons. You go out to protect your family and your country from the threat of attack by other countries or worse, you try and protect what you believe i[...] Read more » Terror threat?
If we apply the "That is poker" mentality and turn around the bad beat from the fish and end up taking all his chips the "right" way, everybody wins. I get his chips, as should be the case, he gets a lesson to help him improve his poker. The important and critical difference is that we continue to play or engage if you will, on a fair even footing, neither of us are isolated and one of us appears to have no cards, while the other appears to have all the cards. We must engage Muslims around the world, at church, government and all levels, we must understand that they are just people too, with the same dreams for their families and children, ISIS are an element that even 90% of moderate Muslims abhor, lets not tar them all with the same brush and create more issue. Nice post Ice. Good luck all 3P out

What makes terrorist ? Short answer: Koran. Make islam forbidden religion and western civilzation will be ok. The problem with muslims is they don't assimilate with residents of country they are coming to. Read some Koran or history of prophet mohammed, watch their ritual slaughter halal and you realize it is improper religion for 21st century.
For me there is no such notion as terrorism. It is just a way of a smaller entity (country, religious group, individual) to wage war against a bigger stronger entity. It is simple as that... Some would say, that terrorism is aimed at peaceful people but we are aware that any military operation causes even more casualties among civilians. And for me, a family killed in an authorized drone attack is an equal tragedy as a family killed by a bomb in a mall. It is just war. And any war is terrorism or non-terrorism. Just pick your term.

Ludicrous comment - The are many millions of Muslims in the world and a very small amount are "terrorists"... in the same way there are many millions of Christians, some of which are murderers, rapists and child abusers. Wrong doing isn't confined to particular races or religions - it's a human trait - an evil human trait, but a human trait none-the-less.
Read your history - see the atrocities committed in the name of religion - all religions - over the years, then rethink your position.

Holding all Muslims responsible for the actions of a relatively minute segment of their community,...would be like holding all of Christianity responsible for the likes of the Ku Klux Klan, White Supremacy groups,...and for that matter,...even Hitler's Germany...
...on a lighter note,...personally,...I find there's absolutely NOTHING more terrorizing than playing in BankrollMob freerolls on PokerStars...!!!

Hey mate ,hope you doing fine, nice analogy between cards and the terrorists parts, i had most fun reading it, especially the terror part, yeah you right terror sucks and it makes people lose life for nothing whether you on the other side or not, because both will always get casualties and the families is them who pay for the war and so on. On another note have fun at the tables and good luck with poker in general and all the things that come with it!

There is a saying that most people have heard of which is “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter,”in that respect we have people like Nelson Mandela,Che Guevara,Gerry Adams but if we compare modern 21st century terrorism we seem to only have brutality,criminality and indiscriminate murder disguised as "a religious cause".
If we want to apply this to poker how about this quote;......."The purpose of 3 betting lies not just in the violent act itself. It is in producing terror. It sets out to inflame, to divide, to produce consequences which is then used to justify further terror." Quote borrowed from the multi-millionaire Socialist Mr. Tony Blair

I really dont know if am right but what is happening in Irak and Libya imo is no more terrorism i would call that a well organized group wanted to take control of these two countries so i would call that war.

Wasn't Nelson Mandela a terrorist before he became famous for being a freedom fighter?

That is the point I guess. It all depends on whose 'side' you are on

Depends who you believe or who you supported at that time I suppose.I think he was accused of being the head of MK the "terrorist wing" of the ANC which apparently committed some horrible crimes.The same applies to Gerry Adams as well but ultimately it was down to his leadership that led to most of violence in Northern Ireland stopping. The one thing that puzzles me is why do they always attack civilians and soldiers or police when we all know if the terrorists only killed politicians and did it well they would probably get results a damn sight quicker.Or be destroyed quicker.

MUSLIMS ,ARE NOT FRIENDLY THEY WANTED TO RULE AND SHOW HOW GOOD THEY ARE BUT ITS NOT really is, instead they are killing our faith our democracy our freedom,we live a happily ,peace helping each other countries in comes in natural disaster or wars.but not muslims they make terrorism killing very cristian living .showing there religion as they beilieve they are blessed alone but beside of all the fact they are using our society, our bulid of the nation,our knowlegde ,so called as parasites judas.
I think super has a point, although it is inaccurate, bigoted and divisive. This is the way to continue along the same path of alienation and tit-for-tat, never ending spiral to mutual destruction. No tolerance, no engagement and no idea. or to put that another way.. What IceQueenAce said.
