They should be locked up for the rest of their miserable stinking lives. And not in the namby pamby conditions todays prisoners enjoy. They should me made to suffer every day!

[naomi24]

Krom, I agree. Public safety must be paramount.

[ummmm]

There are no 'namby pamby' cat A prisons.

[anneasquith]

no

[thejudderman]

Mmmmm how would you know that?? I know from experience (visiting not being an inmate) that even cat A prisons are namby pamby! Every little whim is catered for! Prisoners are molly coddled. They have a better life than a lot of decent law abiding citizens! Nutritious meals 3 times a day, BETTER than hospital food to name just one. I wont mention TVs and computer games!

Adebolajo was born in Lambeth. He was brought up British and as a Christian. He converted to Islam. He would never 'fight for his country' because his country was killing innocent civilian muslims in Iraq. He committed the murder to right that wrong - an eye for an eye.

[ummmm]

I know lots of people that have been to prison. I know quite a few that are currently in prison. I know lots of naughty people.

[anneasquith]

'' I know lots of people who have been to prison'', geez oh , I know one!

[naomi24]

//He would never 'fight for his country' because his country was killing innocent civilian muslims in Iraq.//

That just about sums up the mentality of madmen like him. He’s not an Iraqi - he harbours allegiance to no country, including his own – but he is a fanatical Muslim fundamentalist who will slaughter for Islam. There is no justification in that.

No there isn't. There are lots like him. And there are lots of christians and jews who hate muslims in much the same way.

[naomi24]

Gromit, //There are lots like him. And there are lots of christians and jews who hate muslims in much the same way. //

You are right in saying there are lots like him, but apart from the fact that two wrongs don’t make a right, off the top of my head I can’t think of a comparable atrocity committed for similar reasons by either Jews or Christians. Can you?

I hope they are locked up for the rest of their lives.

[naomi24]

SP, as far as I'm aware those murders were not committed as a direct result of religious indoctrination.

Bullet behind the lug!

From the report:

Breivik was also questioned about his religious beliefs by a lawyer for the victims.

"Well, I am a militant Christian; to prevent the de-Christianisation of Europe is very important," he said.

[naomi24]

He also said he "carried out the attacks to defend "ethnic Norwegians" from rising multiculturalism." Unlike the murderers of Lee Rigby, there was more to his agenda than religion.

Was only answering your question,.

He committed the mass murder, and is a Christian and his reason was due to his attitude to Islam.

Seems comparable to me.

[naomi24]

SP, no comparison. The killers of Lee Rigby didn't slaughter him because they hate Christians or because they object to Christians coming to live in their country. They regard themselves as soldiers of Allah.
