I just reject as out of hand the idea that those who peacefully walked out at the Notre Dame graduation, or what or whoever influenced them in their views and actions, have any reasonable connection to the propogandists of ISIS and the horrible fruits of their labor.

Oh of course you do.

Your dogged dedication to the liberal/progressive ideology forms a filter which strains out all reality except DNC sanctioned propaganda. There is no connection between the Notre Dame walkouts and ISIS, and I never made any faint allege to that end.

What I did say was clearly stated. People who can be talked into committing murder and mayhem, even to the point of turning their own body into a living bomb or otherwise throwing themselves into oblivion in a blaze of hate not of their own, are hardly human. An empty outline of what life is meant to be, they mindlessly accept indoctrination by puppet masters (whom they've never even met) who want to kill those with whom they either disagree or just because they are different. These puppet masters don't want to commit such acts of stupidity themselves and so they talk people without purpose into doing their dirty work.

The ND students in question were indoctrinated and then compelled in similar fashion, to do the bidding of their puppet masters who would rather lay low, putting their wallets and true believer underlings to work in carrying out their ideological agenda.

Both of the groups of this discussion were preyed upon by those who know how to take advantage of those who are maladjusted or who owing to youth, labor under the constraints of their own naïveté or biases. Look at it this way Simon, and I know you think you can catch a whale from that bucket of water you just dipped out of the puddle; But as any fisherman worth his salt will tell you, among every school of bass are those fish which are catchable. However, not all of those 'catchable bass' will fall for the same lure. Some will jump on a crankbait and some may take a spoon.

Now, I did not say nor did I intimate in the vaguest of terms, that the student walkouts were recruit fodder for ISIS. But like the loser and his support group who blew up those folks in Manchester, they are hadable and malleable as was clearly in evidence by their walkout. The fact that they fell for and took the bait that their peers chose to reject, is undeniable. But in considering the level of your allegiance to the liberal cause, and consequential predilection for relativity, I can see where you'd have difficulty in seeing my point.
