I really disagree, I find it boring and uninspired. It doesn't grab me at all...
But in all fairness, I don't like CITR, TWAT or Street of Dreams either, so perhaps I'm just not the target audience of these songs.

Lot's of cynics here... guess that's to be expected on a GNR fan forum .

Good luck man, I hope you do get to meet them!

Or because Catholics aren't villainized as much as Muslims?

Forgot that, obviously it's tied to their religion, I AGREE. We're just asking two different questions: you're thinking 'ah, evil muslims, must keep them out'. I'm thinking 'ah, indoctrinated people, how can we bring them into the modern world'. I think the second question is harder to answer, but a much better way to achieve a more peaceful world.

Not really, I've seen it before. I'm not saying it's complete bullshit, but it doesn't talk about the reality of a multicultural society in Europe 15 years ago, it doesn't talk about how properly assimilated muslims became disenfranchised terrorists over the course of those 15 years.

It's a fine piece to use when people say that there's no such thing as extreme muslim terrorism, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm merely pointing out that the West has a significant responsibility in creating that sleeper army that is currently doing real damage to our way of life. And if we're not willing to look at our own mistakes, we'll never be able to solve this.

The scary thing is that (by far) most of these terrorists are second and third generation immigrants. Hell, a non-negligible number of these so called 'Syria fighters' are newly converted muslims from assimilated or white middle-class families.

I remember around 20 years ago, when there was a real sense of multiculturalism in Belgium and most of Western Europe. The level of religiosity amongst young muslims was low and kept going down. It really all changed after the second Gulf war. The WTC attacks were executed by muslim extremists from the middle-east, and no one would've thought it feasible that second generation muslims from the EU or the US would've participated or even condoned such a thing (no matter what lies Trump spins about seeing thousands of muslims celebrating in NJ...).

An unprecedented series of disastrous foreign policy decisions in the US and Europe literally turned all of those assimilated muslim immigrants into a sleeper army for middle-eastern terrorists. That's not an excuse, there is no excuse for the acts of barbarism these people have committed, but you have to be blind to not see how the West destroyed any chances of a peaceful multicultural society in the past decade and a half.

I'm appalled by the narrative pushed by Trump and Cruz and even certain ministers in the Belgian and French governments, under the guise of 'fighting back', 'strong responses' and 'anti-political correctness'. They are amplifying the mistakes we have made in the past instead of learning from them. This has nothing to do with political correctness, or so called 'naming the problem': the problem is extreme islamic terrorism. Everyone knows. Some might pussyfoot around the words, but that doesn't mean they don't know what the acute source of the problem is. Let's just stop this fucking posturing, and tackle the very real and very acute problem by infiltrating this community of insurgents, destroying them from within. The West should refocus its defense budget away from the military into its intelligence agencies. That's where this fight is going to be won.
