Manns Medium

Maybe it’s just me but to hear people talk about ISIS or ISIL makes me wish to ask why they invest so much into a group of cowardly people who hide in the shadows and pick on people who they have a pretty good idea won’t fight back. I mean, the media makes ISIS or ISIL seem like an army of real soldiers and highly intelligent generals who can give any minimal trained army a real run for it’s money, while I personally see them simple as nothing more than cowards and bullies. I say this not to disrespect anyone but to make a few points very clear to those seeking to categorizes ISIS or ISIL as a force to be feared.  “ Surveillance footage, cab driver offer clues in investigation in Brussels attack ” for CNN News by Catherine E. Shoichet, Frederik Pleitgen and Greg Botelho.  The article reports “ a break in the investigation may have come from a taxi driver who took the suspects to the airport.  The driver contacted authorities after seeing surveillance footage and gave...

It has always made me wonder why we, as people, have not taken full control of our own actions and therefore reduced evil in the best and only way possible.  That way begins and ends with us as individuals casting out evil from within ourselves because then and only then will we ever be believable when trying to tell others how to defeat evil. This thought re-occurred to me after I heard a friends of mine say something like this “God ain't going to let the devil get no victory”.  What occurred to me was how we tend to rely solely upon God to defeat and rid our world of evil and possibly why so many have become disillusioned to God’s presence because evil never goes away.  Some even question whether God exists or not strictly based on the presence of evil, so to that I have to respond in this manner.  There is some knowledge here that many of us tend to miss or just flat out ignore. We keep waiting on God to deny victory to the devil but that is not God's job, it...

There are those who are running around now trying so very hard to figure out the terrorist next moves but never once considering that they already know what that next move will be.  Yes America we do but we will not act until after it happens and then we will claim to have missed the signs.  To give you a hint, it’s like most things we do when we over-indulge.  We try and get the inside track in the minds of a terrorist when there is truly no such thing.  Simply put people, it is simply the mind of a man or a woman who happens to claim Islam or Christianity or Judaism as their faith.  That is all it is.  If you wish to truly understand the mind of a terrorist, then simply apply what is going on to the workings of the mind of a person.  If one is hurt or injured in any way, they tend to strike out at anything or anyone that they can.  The perception of hurt varies with individuals so many times one may not know for sure if what they perceive f...

Media going crazy over this new attack in France and some of the experts that they are listening too seems to truly have the cart before the horse.  I say that because the word is being quickly spread that this is some kind of Al-Quada or ISIL planned attack because of the somewhat cool and calm way it was perpetrated.  No one truly knows the real reason for it but to think this is from those previous mentioned forces makes me wish that those who agree to come on would at least take a few more minutes to consider all that they have in front of them right now. You have at least three shooters who exited a vehicle, killed several people then escaped.  This is not what is expected from either of those previously mentioned groups.  What it is one person who met several other like-minded people and decided to strike back at something that they knew.  Only one had to know anything about the target and the others went along to provide support and watch the other’s...
