So their being Muslim was just random?


Yeah pretty much.

They weren’t pirating against other Muslims..they were targeting Christians for slave labor..


Well all the other Muslim states were part of the Ottoman Empire.

More Christians were enslaved by Muslim raiders than blacks who were ever captured, enslaved and sent to the US.


I bet they made a lot of money off of that too.

There’s nothing wrong with differentiating between piracy and terrorism dude.

But we all know that eventually we’ll be forced to accept refugees from Iran, I’d much rather them stay there and us mind our own business.


We've had refugees from Iran since 1979. One such refugee from the Ayatollahs was a good friend of mine that I met when he began attending our school in 6th grade. I hope Amir Zafranchi and his family are continuing to live a good and prosperous life here in the United States. They became the most patriotic American family I ever knew as they settled into a life in the US after Islam and Sharia law overtook and subverted their country.

Is that in reference to the hostage crisis, when Iranians rose up and overthrew the brutal Shah we installed?


"We" did not install the Shah. He succeeded his father, when the British and Soviets invaded Iran during WW2 they forced the his father to abdicate and transition to Pahlavi.

Post WW2 were the western governments propping up and manipulating the country? Sure, but don't twist history about how the last Shah came into power.

Islam and the US have been at war since 1801.


fricking BASED. And employing the spirit of Thomas Jefferson in our dealings with them would serve us well.

Here is what Tripolis ambassador said to Jefferson and John Adamsabout why they were attacking US ships

“ “it was written in the Koran, that all Nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon whoever they could find and to make Slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise.”

Yeah I watch The Fat Electrician too. I don’t give a frick what that guy said. It was piracy. It’s always been called piracy. I’m not gonna rename something so you can make some weird political point or make some ridiculous claim that we’ve been at war with Islam for over 200 years. We haven’t, no serious person believes that.

And I say this as someone who fully supports taking down the Iranian regime and thinks it should’ve been done a long time ago. I just don’t feel the need to make up new definitions or lie about old shite to justify it. Not sure why you do.
