Terrorists are cowards

Yesterday's terrorist attacks across three continents prove that ISIS and all their minions are nothing but cowards. And pretty retarded too. People seem to be afraid to say it or when they do say it, it's an attack on Islam. This isn't about religion, this is cowardice. Pure and simple.


15 Britons were murdered on a Tunisian beach yesterday and that number is expected to climb. France dealt with a decapitated head near Lyon and 27 were killed at a mosque blast in Yemen. In a day, around 43 people were killed.

Did they target government buildings? Did they attack arms factories? Did they strike military bases? No, they targeted holidaymakers, a factory worker and worshippers. ISIS are cowards.

In their continued onslaught across Iraq and Syria, are they targeting people in power, American army bases or wealthy businessmen? No, they're raping women and girls, terrorising homosexuals and beheading charity workers. They're attacking countries already desperate and destroyed after years of war. They're even murdering people in Yarmouk refugee camp, people who have nothing but fear. Wow ISIS, you're really showing us your manliness. A genuine tour de force. What next ISIS; waterboarding gerbils, beheading paraplegics or burning octogenarians?

Oh and by the way, Isis is an ancient Egyptian sun god. Nothing to do with Islam. Way to go, naming your Caliphate after a pagan god.

People who attack the innocent with AK47s, terrorise minorities with tanks or murder the vulnerable wielding machetes are cowards.

ISIS are not making a political point against foreign aggression nor are they fighting a holy war - anyone can pull a trigger. Your IQ doesn't even need to hit double figures to do that.

I realise no one managed to build an empire without spilling any blood, but causes weren't won by terrorism. Americans didn't win a pointless war in Vietnam because they were burning primitive villages (cowards), the coalition isn't winning a pointless war in the Middle East because they're using drones to attack hospitals (cowards). The Irish didn't win a pointless war for union because they blew up shopping centres (cowards). So what are ISIS trying to achieve with their pointless war?

The British won an empire with political cunning and military prowess. The Greeks won an empire through political cunning and military prowess. The Romans won an empire through political cunning and military prowess. The Soviet Union... you get the message. ISIS, like most terror organisations, have neither. They are cowards - nothing more than angry young men.
