ISIS And Black Lives Matter Are Both Terrorist Groups

It's time we recognize it and treat it as such.

ISIS And Black Lives Matter Are Both Terrorist Groups
Hailey Shanahan

This article is based on a recent conversation I had with a classmate. I wrote this in defense of myself, and defense of police officers. It's time we start treating Black Lives Matter like the terrorists they are.

"I am not comparing BLM to ISIS at all! You misread my post. I don't think that BLM has any relation to ISIS, but yes, they are a terrorist group, both of them. I know what ISIS is all about, and I know what the Black Lives Matter movement is about as well. (BLM) They are distracting people from realizing their full potential by instilling hate and fear into the lives of black men and women who can be so much more. (ISIS) They instill fear into everyone that comes around. Even if they have not one iota of understanding of what martial arts is. It's comical. These are also the people who think Chris Kyle's ghost is killing them. (If that doesn't make you laugh, I don't know what will) ISIS has their intention in their name. It stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. They are extreme Islamic group that murders people if they do not convert to Islam.

EXTRA CREDIT: Obama has said frequently that ISIS is called ISIL. It is not ISIL. ISIL is a little offensive to me because I am part Jewish and have studied my history well. ISIL stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Levant at the end removes Israel as an independent nation. But hey, don't take my word for it, here you go, Allen West here, takin' the world by storm! I picked him because he's black, not racist, and fought for this country.

How many deaths have gone on, including the Orlando shooting, that has been tied back to ISIS? And how much destruction and division have the BLM movement carried out?

According to the dictionary, terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

This next one is according to the FBI if you need more proof that BLM is a terrorist group. This is the definition of Domestic Terrorism:

  • Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
  • Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. Or kidnapping; and
  • Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

BLM supporters cheered for the Death of the Police officers. Another point, I never said that Black Lives Matter had to do with the man responsible. They believe that he had ISIS connections. It was far too coordinated and military like for some whiney black lives matter fanatic to carry out. He was trained.

But, hey, let's continue on. Mike Halstead went on Fox and Friends on October 23, 2015, and said,

STEVE DOOCY: [Y]ou said that Black Lives Matter is a terrorist group.

MIKE HALSTEAD: It is a terrorist group in my opinion. It's a terrorist group if you can march down the streets and call for the death of police officers and a race of people. You can make slogans and hold banners that says Black Lives Matter and then you can yell out pigs wrapped in bacon and frying in a pan, what do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them? Now. I mean, come on.

[...]

DOOCY: If you had a do-over and you could change one word or any of the words in that Facebook post, would you?

HALSTEAD: I would not have been so hard on the media. And I do apologize for that. I don't apologize for calling them a terrorist group because they are a terrorist group.

Halstead is a retired police officer. What in your mind makes you think that the Black Lives Matter group is not a terrorist group? What do you see in them that I'm missing? Because what I see are a bunch of entitled, miscreants protesting the law enforcers because these entitled miscreants can't do what they want and when they want to. They can't rob. They can't rape. They can't steal a car. They can't do drive-by shootings without being put to justice. They can't shoot a policeman. They can't disobey their commands. They can't point a gun at an officer and not get shot. So they protest. Like a bunch of coordinated three-year-olds."

UPDATE: Black Lives Matter member has reached out to ISIS. So, yes. Actually they are connected. I hadn't heard about this until after I sent the email.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
