It appears the idiocy from bednobs isn't about to subside.

Yesterday ...
//Palestinian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ali Abu Ahmad used an address at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem to warn French President Emmanuel Macron and all the “infidels who have acted with insolence against Muslims” to get ready for holy war. Sheikh Ahmad said boycotts of French products “do not change a thing” and the only solution is the reestablishment of the caliphate, according to footage obtained by the Middle East Media Research Institite (MEMRI), which specializes in translating media in the Middle East.
Ahmad added the caliph would lead the Muslim armies to crush Paris completely as part of a triumphant march through Europe designed to crush those who challenge the primacy of Islam.//

The sooner the feminised men of the Western World realise that this is an organised attack on our way of life the "less bad" the inevitable bloodshed, and rivers of blood will be.

// Stop being ridiculously stupid, bednobs.//
serious subject trivialised by TTT - AGAIN !

[Peter Pedant]

// Your assessment would be accurate if it was clear that all Muslims harbour a murderous hatred to any faith but their own.

Since that is clearly not the case, your point is not valid.//

or as I would say - howling non sequitur

ancient forrin for "it doesnt follow"

//The news report even states that it was believed the man was acting alone, but as always, the usual suspects are here to lay the blame on the religion as a whole.//

Yes they act alone but in different places.Unless they have a magic carpet it's different attackers adhering to the same religion.



//He added: "Attack in Nice, attack in Avignon, attack on the French consulate in Saudi Arabia. It is not a coincidence."//

[naomi24]

The religion is the motivation for extremism. That’s not to say that all Muslims take that approach - others further the cause of Islam (incumbent upon all adherents to the faith) in other ways - but to claim that the religion is not responsible is naïve in the extreme. It is. Wholly.

Freedom of speech is all well and good and a right to be protected.
It may not always be the wisest option to exercise it in this particular way.

[shoota]

The Independant:
'The attacks are believed to be a response to the caricature released yesterday on the cover of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which shows Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in his underpants and a woman wearing a hijab with her rear exposed.'

Erm...
What useful purpose does this serve?

[gulliver1]

This is what happens when you let yourself get Radicalised.

[Mamyalynne]

Horrific attacks.

[youngmafbog]

It's not going to stop until the West accept their Holy War. Then we will see who are the 'good' Muslims and who are the 'bad' when they have to take a side.

Until then this will continue to happen.

// What useful purpose does this serve? //

here you can see the cartoon (if you want) -

they're having a satirical pop at the ongoing spat between Macron and Erdogan - ill judged perhaps but Charlie Hebdo have previous form, as do those that oppose them.

[Peter Pedant]

You and I have stated our respective positions many times on this issue, and neither of us feels moved to accept the other's viewpoint.

As I understand it, you believe that the violence meted out by psychopaths in the name of Islam is actually them carrying out the message of Islam to the letter, which you accept is not something done by the majority of Muslims.

I maintain my own view, that the psychopaths merely use the pretence of Islamic doctrine to act as a shield for what by any measure are the actions of unblananced minds.

[SparklyKid]

Naomi24, as always, is quite correct.

[bednobs]

if all religion was wiped out tomorrow, Do you think there'd be people who still want to kill other people? men who want to subjugate women, people who want power over others?

[andy-hughes]

SparklyKid - //

A statement as sweeping as it is baseless.

Naomi is expressing an opinion, it is not backed up by factual evidence - if it was, the much promised 'holy war' would far more advanced than it actually is.
