divebuddy - //Andy, I expect you missed this bit.....//Well, given that the girl was definitely going to blow up (or be blown up I expect), yes, a good outcome. //

No, I didn't miss it - it still doesn't explain how or why the death of a child in this horrific incident is a 'good outcome' - if I am 'missing' something else, do feel free to point it out.

andy-hughes at 14.34. You called them non-believers. They were not. The argument between Sunni and Shia isn’t about the fundamental tenets of Islam. The two have lived side by side for centuries – albeit continuing their never-to be-resolved disagreement.
Unless the 7 year old girl planned the whole thing, a better outcome would have been if the bomb hadn't gone off or the girl had escaped unharmed or the ones who planned it had been killed or caught

I agree, how could any parent subject their child to that.
Are the scum parents still in the country? more than likely will be & getting paid by the state.

Which Country is that TWR?
Did I not read it was Damascus, or did I miss read it. are the scum still in the Country.
Absolutely sickening.

*** sickening!
I am sure everyone on here agrees with you on that, Talbot

The target of the attack was the State. Your post makes absolutely no sense.
divebuddy - //Bomber walks into police station and blows themselves up. Only fatality is the bomber.

Given that the bomber was going to die anyway, the issue is how many others will die. If no others die, that's a good outcome.

That's not hard to grasp, surely. //

If the bomber was an adult jihadist who made the decision to die as a martyr for his or her faith, then that is one thing. I would never say it was a 'good outcome' for anyone to die an unnatural death.

But this was not an adult jihadist, this was a child, and children by definition are innocents, and that is why her death cannot be a 'good outcome'.

I think we will have to have to differ on this - you seem to think that any good bomber is a dead bomber. I would say that a dead child is not a good thing - ever.
I took TWR's post to mean that the parents are probably claiming benefits from the Turkish government. Not sure what's going to happen to any child benefit claim now though
// I took TWR's post to mean that the parents are probably claiming benefits from the Turkish government. //

Perhaps I missed that they are living in Turkey? It reads as though they are living in Syria, near to the police station they bombed.


// A short time later, the seven-year-old is thought to have walked into a police station in Syria's capital, Damascus, before being killed in an explosion. //
Yes, sorry- meant Syria (no idea why I typed Turkey). I assume TWR thought they may be on benefits (if they have such a system)- unless he meant paid killers of the Syrian state.
// unless he meant paid killers of the Syrian state. //

These people are the Syrian Rebels, the ones trying to overthrow Assad and the Syrian State. They bombed the police station because it was a Government target.
How the hell has benefits cropped up on a thread of this nature?
No idea Talbot. TWR raised it and Gromit queried it and I responded..

No idea Gromit. TWR may be able to explain his thinking but he may have moved on. I suggest it's not worth pursuing though as it is not relevant to the OP
