ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack outside a Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest in Texas -- and warned of more attacks to come. In a broadcast on its official radio channel Tuesday, the group said two ISIS soldiers opened fire outside the event in Garland, a Dallas suburb. The claim has not been confirmed, and ISIS offered no evidence that the gunmen were affiliates with the terror organization.
Unfortunately, it’s just another example of religion corrupting man. It has the potential of turning people into killers, and, of turning us onto each other.
This has been done through the annals of time. There’s nothing different today that hasn’t beendone a thousand years ago. Men have fought each other ever since there have been a variety of faiths.
The United States should get out of the Middle East. Completely. If we get out of that region, they’ll have nothing to be angry with us for. Then, if they want to fight each other forever, let them go at it.
These wars have accomplished nothing. I’m sick of it.
