Baldric, one of the five is the terrorist who was shot. No tears from me for that one. For the rest, what a truly awful day for them and their families.
//Acting Deputy Commissioner Rowley confirmed three members of the public had been killed in the incident, with liaison officers contacting their families.
He added: 'We think we know who the attacker is, we believe they were inspired by international terrorism. Islamist related terrorism. \\
An absurd claim, Barmaid. And nobody is making it. What's being asserted is that most of the "terror" attacks throughout the world are being carried out by Muslims for what the appear to think are Islamic reasons.
If most terror attacks were being committed by Mormons or Methodists would it be reasonable, or unreasonable to ask the question "What is it about Methodism or Mormonism which is causing such a disproportionate amount of hate?". Are you in any way curious about why so many Muslims are doing these things? Do you think that the correlation between Islam and terror requires an explanation? Or is it just accidental?
// All men are rapists/serial killers - especially Mexicans and Nubians
All muslims are terrorists even those muslims who kill each other
All Irish are terrorists or too thick to get the difference between terrorism and patriotism or just too thick
All homosexual blokes are paedophiles and the Lesbians oh my f god ! just look at them !
I have added and improved your list a bit barmaid
did Mr B ring in the end and say sheepishly o we can went out to the pub you know the one underneath somerset house ?
v-e, //If most terror attacks were being committed by Mormons or Methodists would it be reasonable, or unreasonable to ask the question "What is it about Methodism or Mormonism which is causing such a disproportionate amount of hate?".
Unfortunately Barmaid isn't asking that question - and neither are many others.
// o you think that the correlation between Islam and terror requires an explanation? Or is it just accidental?//
yeah quite right and in Ireland do you remember - it was heavily tied to christianity - the Irish shooting and butchering each other I mean
why was this ? I think we should be told
VE - my post was somewhat tongue in cheek. But I do not believe an explanation is required since it is well explained ad infinitum. What I do not believe is that for every terror attack that is confirmed to be perpetrated by a muslim who ostensibly acts in the name of Islam, a mosque should be closed. That is just ridiculous.
And PP, can you drop the Mr BM, please? There is no longer a Mr Bm.......
I ought to find Peter's capacity for levity admirable. Unfortunately I din't.
I can come up with a plausible explanation of the IRA terror campaign which has much to do with a colonial bordern and little to do with Roman Catholicism. That's why the aren't IRA affiliates in Burma and Niger.
// And PP, can you drop the Mr BM, please? There is no longer a Mr Bm.......//
