Quote:Is more likely a tribal statement?  You know this how?  There is nothing eye opening other than you coming to your own conclusions based on what you read.  You state his quote is more than likely a tribal statement backed with nothing else other than that is what you feel.  You aren't being objective.  That isn't objective.

 

I simply stated I would not believe anything the father is saying.  Maybe he is telling the truth and maybe he isn't.  I have no clue.  His son pledging his allegiance to ISIS during the killings and his dad showing support to the Taliban movement is not what one would call normal behavior.  Obviously the son is a psycho and the dad, IMO, can't be trusted.  You took me stating that I don't trust him and inferred I believed in something I do not.  You seem to be doing that on what you wrote above.  You have no idea what he is more than likely stating, but you state it anyways.  That isn't objective, that is bias.

 

"He also said this wasn't a religious act. And of course that was not true. I wouldn't believe anything he has to say. "
Seems to me to indicate not that you have no idea about his veracity, but that you disbelieve him.

 
His Dad said on one of his shows “Our brothers in Waziristan, our warrior brothers in Taliban movement and national Afghan Taliban are rising up." I'm simply stated I wouldn't believe anything his father has to say. If you want to believe someone who says our warrior brothers in the Taliban movement as a trust worthy figure than by all means.
A couple of things here. First, contrary to the write-up in the Journal, the quote in the Post does seem to indicate at least some sympathy with the Taliban. I am no fan of the Taliban, just noting that the way I read it, you seem to indicate that that video makes him untrustworthy. 

 
Obviously the son is a psycho and the dad, IMO, can't be trusted.  You took me stating that I don't trust him
Umm, wth? Can you parse this?
