It certainly seems to fit the same parameters as other designated 'terror-attacks'.......quite whether it will achieve the same pourings of outrage on these pages as other events, remains to be seen.

[sandyRoe]

Surely you can't mean there are those here who are selective in their condemnation of terrorist outrages?

[jackthehat]

You might think that........I couldn't possibly comment....... ;o)

Jack....."quite whether it will achieve the same pourings of outrage on these pages as other events, remains to be seen."

I bet it doesn't !

Sickening cowardly murder.

[Islay]

I can almost guarantee that the usual suspects will give this a wide berth - unless its to come on and say something along the lines off 'They brought it on theirselves', 'what do you expect', or 'there is no evidence this is religion or race relates'.

2 men murdered walking from their place of worship. Very sad.

Wow isn't Answerbank a strange place.

A definite divide with not many in the middle.

As with the Swiss train incident ... we don't yet know what the reason is behind the cowardly crime.

[-Talbot-]

Regardless this crime will please IS and the likes of IS.

Insanity??

There was another very shocking news report this week about a gang of 137 paedophiles including at least one school teacher who groomed and abused over a period of years.

No AB outrage about this case.

[ummmm]

Quite...we don't know but it is easier to jump to conclusions when the victims are wearing religious garb.

And again we don't know if it's a lone gunman or attached to a terrorist organisation.

[Mamyalynne]

hc, I didn't see the thread about that case - I may have missed more being on holiday.

Surely all vile crime is just that? I cannot understand the need to stick a whacking label on each one - it's almost like a race for some kind of prize.

[ummmm]

Jeez, hc, I missed that. How awful.

[hc4361]

There was no thread about it, mamya.

[THECORBYLOON]

HC they look a bit peely-wally for Asians...

It is sick to use the shooting of two innocent people, in an attempt of trying to get over a particular point, that you are obviously targeting towards certain AB members.

[hc4361]

Bad people in every country, every society, every culture, every religion or no religion.

[ummmm]

Oh dear....has she hit a nerve?

[jackthehat]

To close to home, AOG?

Feel free to address the question posed in the OP.
