Are we already in WWIII? (1 Viewer)

[jamny]

OK, yes...

Are we just seeing a new norm or will this escalate until it all goes to hell? I think this will only be stopped from within, and Egyptian President al-Sisi's comments are encouraging. Which other leader's might be coming forward in support?

“It’s inconceivable that the thinking that we hold most sacred should cause the entire umma (multinational community of Muslim believers) to be a source of anxiety, danger, killing and destruction for the rest of the world. Impossible! That thinking – I am not saying ‘religion’ but ‘thinking’ – that corpus of texts and ideas that we have sacralized over the years, to the point that departing from them has become almost impossible, is antagonizing the entire world. It’s antagonizing the entire world!

“Is it possible that 1.6 billion [Muslims] should want to kill the rest of the world’s inhabitants – that is 7 billion—so that they themselves may live? Impossible! … I say and repeat again that we are in need of a religious revolution. You, imams, are responsible before Allah. The entire world, I say it again, the entire world is waiting for your next move… because this umma is being torn, it is being destroyed, it is being lost – and it is being lost by our own hands.” President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi

If it happens that a unified force stomps this out, will it be considered WWIII? Are we in it now?

Pretty sure it would be almost universal

Those are condemnations. I think al-Sisi takes it to a new level with a direct challenge with his statement.

No but we are in a long regional war that has global tentacles. That could change if India gets pissed off and starts lobbing ballistic missiles at Pakistan or if Canada invades Malaysia.

This Islamic thing is a basically a series of regional flare-ups that we could ignore if we chose to do so (not saying we should). There is no chance of the US being conquered by AQ and having a caliph installed to impose sharia law. By way of contrast, it's easy to imagine the allies losing WWII and/or the USSR obliterating the US.

Yeah it's really peaceful. Unless you live where it isn't.

How many people has the US killed in wars in the last decade?

How many wars and conflicts are going on right now?

Look, you can make the argument that violent crime is way down, or even that less people are dying in wars. BUT, to say it's the most peaceful time in human history is silly stuff designed to get web clicks.

Our current state of affairs is akin to crime on a global scale. Terrorists are basically mafiaor better organized KKK.

i think that it is not world waar three but it is basically a dark ages for islam where they are doing the same crap christians did a long time ago except with better weapons more global mobility of people and the internet and social media and it will take some time maybe hundreds of years but i think eventually islam will get rids of the radicals but by then i bet some other radicals in some other religion take that place just my thoughts take that to the bank

Describe a more peaceful time

I have no idea what some of you mean by "time"? What time period are we calling the "most peaceful in history"? 2014? The 21st century? I think it's silly to insinuate that we are currently living in a peaceful era, but maybe we need to establish what time period it is we are talking about.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_Wars

There are 13 conflicts causing at least 1,000 deaths per year.

28 conflicts that cause at least 100 deaths a year.

Lots of war happening everywhere. War has changed a lot so to fight you don't have to send thousands of people out into the middle of fields to slaughter each other.

Again, The current situation obviously is more peaceful than, say, WW2. It's better than at many points in history. But the most peaceful "time" in history? Shocking statement

Exactly...I don't think those who advocate genocide are the type who usually change their minds...this isn't the equivalent to changing from driving an American car to a Japanese car and to think it is being incredibly naïve...
