Islam - the greatest threat to females in the world.
(And only a handful of females see it and call it out)

They possibly have an idea how evil their religion is, they just don't want to admit it.
The Charlie Hebdo massacre was justified ?
What he heck is happening to this country?

Just the same wholesome Australian bigotry that made our country great. We've been doing it since 1886.
The international politics of Afghanistan is above my pay grade.
What I see in other countries is refugees pouring into European countries and trying to impose their ideologies on others. You can see it it Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and in Australia.
Muslims have their countries, we have ours. Just try expressing anti Islam rhetoric in Iran in the same way you are expressing your opinions here and see what happens to you.
Let Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran etc take in refugees. Iran has accepted not one Syrian refugee. How about having a go at them ?
The following table shows the number of refugees who were resettled in 2015 (assisted by UNHCR):
Country of resettlement Number of persons resettled
United States of America 52,583
Canada 10,236
Australia 5,211
Norway 2,220
Germany 2,097
Sweden 1,808
United Kingdom 1,768
Finland 964
New Zealand 756
France 700
All others 3,550
Grand total 81,893

The "all others" would obviously include all the Muslim countries in the world. Notice a lack of Muslim countries on that list ? A certain reluctance to help their brothers it would seem.

Nice strawman, you might scare some of the crows.
Like their religion or not, Christianity is less subject to corruption than is Islam. The New Testament moderates the Old, there is no moderation in Islam. Muhammad became more violent as his religion caught on and the Islamists say that his later more violent writings represent the "true" Islam.
As I have said many times, but you fail to accept, Islam wants to be the government and have religious law be the law of the land. You can see this even in so called moderate Islamic countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. Islam is a creeping sickness and even parts of Britain want Sharia Law introduced as part of the law of the land. That will happen here if Islam is allowed to grow too large. The only way to stop it is to restrict the number of Muslim immigrants who are the carriers of the disease.
You look at individuals, I look at the bigger picture. Islam is like Nazism. It appeals to so called "downtrodden" people to rise up against their perceived foe. For the Nazis, the foe were the Jews and eventually everyone who was non Arayan. For Muslims the foe is now everyone who is non Muslim. They will work within the culture of the land while their numbers are small, but once they get big enough they will start demanding their own ways. You only need to look at how barbaric Islamic countries are to know what is in store for us if this disease takes over here.
You keep acting like Islam is one thing, there has been moderation, because we have moderate muslims, a lot of muslims don't accept the violent teachings, they just ignore those parts...
As explained in the original post, the nukes were unnecessary. It was not the nuke that forces Japan to surrender, it was Stalin and the Soviets coming East.
So dropping a couple of new sort of weapons to take out a city each isn't going to convince the warmongers in Tokyo that their people are dying so they better surrender.
And even if all of those noble intent were all true, we cannot use the same line of reasoning to justify war and nuclear holocaust.
Let's take Beijing or Moscow... would it be "reasonable" for either of them to drop a nuke or two on anyone else's country? Could they do it for moral reason like they wanted to take over that country but decided it's a lot more humane, relatively, that their troops don't like and "only" one city, or two or three, of their victims need to die. The rest of the country will be in tact.
That's not an acceptable reason is it?
That's obviously good. However the hardliners see moderates as traitors to Islam and threaten violence against them,
Hence why I say we should do our duty to protect those fleeing from hardline religion, provide a safe place where they can practice their moderate beliefs, see us as the good guys and over generations become more and more moderate, perhaps even atheist.
Treating the moderates badly, is far more likely to push them towards the hardliners, which is the plan of ISIS all along.
Pie in the sky. You don't dilute a religion by making it stronger. The greater the proportion of any group in society the more powerful they feel and the more likely they are to want to exert influence. The Jews have been doing the same thing for decades as has the Catholic church and Muslims are no different.
I never suggested treating moderates badly. I said we should be nice to the ones already here, but that doesn't mean an open ended invitation to anyone calling themselves refugees. Terrorists have called themselves refugees and we have only found out later what they really are.
I don't accept that it was to impress/scare Stalin, I think 3 years of constant loss of American troops had taken its toll on the high command, it can't be easy making decisions that constantly see you lose thousands of your men.
The ability to end the war over night was an extremely appealing concept.
Ummm, yes it did.
I think when the "Special Bombs" were first designed, the high command underestimated their power.
and I think today, we over estimate their power, the bombs dropped on Japan are no where near as powerful as those available today.
That's what we're told to believe.
It sounds nice and heroic that our noble military and civilian leadership take the hard and difficult road so that both their troops and innocent civilians of the enemy could survive - all except some 200,000 civilians who will have to be sacrificed because.... can't bring peace without wiping out a couple of cities right?
.
Trust me, I've heard this from at least two different sources. That it was not the nukes that convinces the Japs to surrender. It was Stalin and the Soviet entry into Japanese territories that force them to.
It was estimated that between 250,000 and 500,000 more soldiers would die before the war ended, if you were an American soldier, and new the war could end in a week, what would you want?
So you think it was random chance that the Japanese held meetings to discuss Surrender within hours of the second bomb dropping?
Man, that's what propaganda is for.
Think about it, why must any more American soldiers have to die after the Americans have reach Japan's homeland [say, Okinawa].
The only possible reason that they would have to die would be the US fighting Japan street by street, house by house. True?
Why would the US need to do that?
Japan is a series of islands. It was completely surrounded. No food, no supplies, no fuel, no ammunition, nothing goes in or out of Japan by this time.
I think it's safe to say that Japan has pretty much fallen.
You do not need to commit any more American troops to any more battle with Japan. Just wait and it'll collapse on itself.
But of course they can't tell you that. The world have to know that if the nukes were not drop, 250k or 500k American, plus Japanese, lives will have to be lost. So the lesser of two evil, right?
Can't be sure but I think the American Historian, Howard Zinn, said what I've been repeating from him saying. He was in the US airforce I think. European theatre. This was during his discussion of three American "Holy" wars - i.e. wars the yank would not even argue about how right and noble it was.
----------
The second bomb drop on the same day the Soviet attacked Manchuria right?
I think reason would suggest that the possible Soviet takeover play a major role, if not the only, in Imperial Japan's decision to finally call it quits.
Japan's cities have been bombarded all those months, to burn down a couple more isn't going to change its high command's mind.
I mean, they haven't surrendered when dozens of their cities have been razed, why now? Because nuclear does a faster job?
It's more the case that a burnt city can be rebuilt; but a dead Royal family will end Japan's histories. That and having a united historic homeland could one day unified Japan's nationalism and reclaim its independence. To have it split will seriously weaken and destroy that possibility forever.
I can't see the USA needing any further reason for them to decide to drop the nuke than not wanting to lose anymore troops than they already had in 3 years of fighting in Europe and the pacific.
