kick it off 2,056 Posted March 22, 2017 [quote user="hogesar"]Interesting that the first person to lash out on this thread about religion chose Christianity as the religion to criticise.Odd, but it''s the pinkun.[/quote]I''m not criticising any religion - I don''t subscribe to one myself, but respect other people''s right to. My point has nothing to do with which religion is the worst, it''s to do with the demonisation of Islam without applying the same criteria to Christianity. If that''s not been clear then apologies, but the simplistic generalisations of some, about a religion that has 23% of the world''s population, is stupid.They are all extremists, and terrorists, and my gripe is not with those that recognise extremism, but with those who try to extrapolate the extremists actions to represent a religion, without applying that sentience to other groups.

hogesar 10,491 Posted March 22, 2017 I get that KIO but people are naturally going to be more negative towards something which directly affects them. Brutal or not the murders by Christians aren''t directly effecting me.I don''t know. I hate the OTT racism that normally boils from these disgusting events but I also have a problem whenever something like this happens and before anyone has said anything anti islam or whatever there''s someone feeling the need to say "well x does bad things too!"

C Goodenough 5 Posted March 22, 2017 [quote user="kick it off"][quote user="BroadstairsR"]"Just waiting for the inevitable tide of Islamophobia to pop up here from the usual suspects. Funny how they never pipe up about how Christianity is a religion of hate when nutters like Bissonnette go on a murder spree in a mosque."Bissonette. One individuaal is held up as a "religion of hate."Have you the slightest clue about the muslims treatment of Hindus before the partition of India?The slightest clue?[/quote]Breivik, Dylann Roofe, Robert Louis Dear Jr, the IRA, KKK etc. There''s plenty of white/christian terrorists. Â Except they''re normally called ''mentally ill'' or ''lone wolves'' as opposed to ''terrorists'' by the media.In fact look at Africa and you''ll find plenty of black Christians who commit ISIS like atrocities on minority groups - beheading Muslims and the suchlike . There''s over 1.6 billion Muslims and 2.2 billion Christians. Of course there are going to be nutters in both camps. To profess otherwise is silly, purely on a statistical basis if nothing else. That''s why the "Islam is a religion of hate" argument is so stupid. Just because the media don''t shove Christian terrorism down your throat, doesn''t mean it''s any less prevalent than Muslim terrorism. In fact, the FBI state that "94% of terrorist attacks in the USA between 1990 and 2005 were committed by non-Muslims". In the EU, according to Interpol, less than 2% of terrorist attacks have been religiously motivated, and in fact the vast majority are carried out by nationalist/separatist groups. Now admittedly, this data is out of date (2005 for FBI data, 2014 for Europol) and things have changed rapidly in the last few years, but the point I''m making is that just because you don''t hear about the attacks in your media, doesn''t mean they aren''t happening. (Â FBI LINKÂ Â Â Â EUROPOL LINKÂ )Can''t say the Muslim treatment of Hindus Pre-1947 is something I know much about. Although I''m fairly sure the behaviour of a certain Christian in that period of time was a more pressing concern for the majority of Europe. I''m also fairly sure the British treatment of Hindus pre-partition is hardly anything to have any pride in, so I''m wondering if the ''glass houses'' adage may be applicable here?[/quote]It happened at the houses of parliament. Of course we''ll here about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 22, 2017 [quote user="im spartacus canary "]You would win idiot of the day Mr pompous hands down 😂[/quote]In your rather dimwitted grasp of things I feel that is an honour.So perhaps I could point out the stupidity in your post. I presume your thought is that should this person be caught alive, all manner of barbarity should be enacted upon him. Following the brexiteers usual line of thought and fark the rule of law.However if your thought is to extract as much relevant information out of him then even someone with even your obvious limited grasp of things should be aware that torture, and extreme torture DO NOT WORK (look it up). It might excite those of a rather disturbed frame of mine but it achieves relatively diddley squat, as those under this torture will simply say whatever they think will stop the pain, and even then evidence so gained is inadmmisible in court.Now I know how you cranks have been taught to hate ''experts'' a sort of ukip Year Zero, but I tend to value their thoughts ......more so when so many of them are inagreement on a subject. So I would think that the authorities and various intellegence agencies know far better than some over excited halfwit about how best to extract information.

hogesar 10,491 Posted March 22, 2017 To be fair there''s plenty of examples of torture working along with less documented examples as well, for obvious reasons.

hogesar 10,491 Posted March 22, 2017 Of course it''s unreliable. Most if not all are. But it''s a method that has and hasn''t worked in the past.The reality is these people are willing to die so extracting information is nigh on impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ron obvious 1,687 Posted March 23, 2017 On a pragmatic note, was the poor policeman who died wearing any sort of body armour?

Guest Posted March 23, 2017 I believe that until the activities of the House of Saud are curtailed, then terrorism will continue to happen to western civilisations.While we pander to this evil mob despite clear evidence of their sponsorship of terrorism, we are basically inviting the acts to continue.We pander because they are the largest oil producer in the world. And a country that is ruled by a family and only observes Sharia law is not likely to blink first if it came to a stand off with the western world regarding oil.That leaves the option of just going in and taking it, deposing the evil mob and giving the indigenous people a form of democracy. Or perhaps an emphatic hint that it is what will happen if they don''t change.That may sound a bit undemocratic and illegal but when people don''t observe the law then they no longer command the respect of the legal system of the western world.A family that pumped billions into the coffers of Saddam Hussein during the Iraq-Iran war but cried help when he looked like taking their oil of them.They have no place at the UN, they have no place in the world when apostasy is punishable by death and they cannot be allowed to continue their education system that does not tolerate any other form of education other than Wahhabism.

Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted March 23, 2017 I don''t recall us treating all Irish Catholics as IRA supporters when they were bombing us through the seventies and eighties and nineties, and I don''t think we should treat all Muslims as sympathisers now. Isn''t the goal of these attacks to drive a wedge between different communities? Some of the Sadiq Khan references on here are disappointing to say the least.

Chesney Hawkes 0 Posted March 23, 2017 Additionally it would be foolish to believe that defending someone in court means you have some level of sympathy for their actions, otherwise you would find it tricky to get a defence lawyer for rapes, assaults etc. So the fact Khan defended various undesirables in court has no relevance for me.
