Do you know anyone that has lost their life to ISIS?I am being deadly serious. Your life depends on your beliefs. And you are being manipulated to believe in terrorism.
First you would need some source of funding. Then go there to Islam yourself and start talking to locals. See for yourself if this ISIS organization exists. Same goes for anything you are told. If you don't have this method to verify for yourself, then don't accept it. Simple as that.Hey Einstein, do you mind answering my question? I'm curious about what you call "independent verification". If you could, give examples so maybe it's more easy to understand. Thanks!
As I mentioned before, I know of someone who fled Isis (I am not prepared to say anything more than what I have.) So whatever argument you put forth to say the threat is not real, will fall on my deaf ears, because I personally know the truth. I'm just intrigued by your conspiratorial mindset about the matter. The argument you have offered is flawed and holds no weight. I have already pointed out that a photoshopped pic proves nothing whatsoever, apart from the fact that somebody knows how to extract an image onto layers. I have used photoshop tools to make pictures of my family more presentable. All I see when I look at the picture you presented is a photo of 3 people (2 hostages & terrorist) taken elsewhere and extracted and placed on a landscape layer, probably so the the picture would look more presentable/professional. It's as simple as that.
I see. Well, didn't you just use a link to a website that sources from Haaretz and Reuters to justify your point of view? I thought you said news agencies lacked independent verification. If this was an excel sheet, we'd be getting a circular reference warning.Anyway, by your rationale, you can't believe in anything that wasn't locally inspected by you, is that it? I mean, if this is it, I rest my case. It's your opinion and I won't question it any further as it moves way farther from what I understand as reality.
Yeah well, using media to prove that media lies is a bit embarassing. You know, in case you don't use microsoft excel as much as I do.
I repeat my question: So the only reality for you is composed of facts that are verifiable by yourself, in loco? I'm asking this, curious on all the other aspects of how you live your life (at the risk of being intrusive, but I can't help. this opinion of yours is, for the lack of a better word, intriguing.), not just regarding ISIS.I mean, if I believed in that, I would be living in a cave denying everything I can't touch.
There are a great many reasons to explain WHY they might have photoshopped that photo. An even better one would be to hide their actual location. Think about it from a terrorist murder's standpoint: The beheadsman himself always wears a mask, which reveals how much of a coward he is because he does not want to make it easy for we in the coalition to find him and strip the skin from his own hide. Hence, it only makes sense that he would also take precautions to conceal his actual location, as this would be another giveaway that would make it easier to rain on his little bloody parade, Navy SEAL style.It may be factual that the photo was doctored. However, using Einstein's own logic, he cannot PROVE that it is a FACT that ISIS is not real, nor can be prove that the beheadings were a hoax. Rather, Einstein has just taken it upon his wild imagination, and his own BELIEF system to come to a wacky conclusion that because the photo has been doctored, that ISIS must be fake. That is just his BELIEF, not in any way a FACT. And we know what he thinks about beliefs.
What I find interesting Einstein, is when a belief suits your purpose, it is just fine to accept something that has NO facts to back up the claim , except those "you", an unqualified expert, choose to accept, that others, who are qualified experts, find highly questionable.Case in point... Dr. Burzynski.
