Fair enough - east of Spain.


Irrelevant.


Not necessarily irrelevant.
Islam is roughly 500 years younger than Christianity. If we assume that religions evolve in a simillar way and go through a period of violent zealotry then Islamist terrorists are equivalent to Christian zealots of the 15th and 16th centuries. Which would cover inquisition, religious wars in Europe and St. Bartholomew's Massacre in France where thousands of Hugenots were slaughtered in broad daylight. Even the then French King was taking potshots at people from his palace windows.

so you are saying we should not let this unevolved religion people into the UK as they are going to be violent?

Twosugars 21-04-2019 03:49 PM

The Ministry had a warning
a few weeks ago that a Radical Muslim Group would attack.
But it was not specified what kind of attack

a terror attack by religious extremists

it's a horrifying attack with every probability that it's ongoing. Seems to me that it had some high level support within the country too. People were well aware that things were being planned and did nothing, with leaders claiming they weren't informed. That doesn't ring true to me at all.

don't you know an excuse when you hear it? There is no way an attack of this size went down in Sri Lanka without senior people being involved in it.

That would have to be proved.

THREE children of ASOS billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen have been killed by suicide bombers in the Sri Lanka terror attacks.
A spokesperson for Povlsen – Scotland’s largest landowner – confirmed that three of his four children were among the 290 people killed after blasts hit churches and luxury hotels across the country on Sunday

Lucky it wasn't mosques attacked or this story would have been overwhelming in the press..... already people are kind of trying to , if not justify it, then minimise it, bringing up the alt right where they took no part in this offense. When the alt Right carry out some atrocity I don't see anyone saying, yeah but.... Muslims. It's not a competition. And if it was, fundamentalist Islam would be winning. And if you don't believe that, take a look a America's most wanted list.

Except this is the 21st Century. Are we supposed to wait for these savages to catch up to the rest of the world? How many gays are they going to throw off buildings before it's acceptable for us to say they're wrong instead of making excuses for them?

i doubt, imo, any Brit is worried about RW terrorism

The Left aren't doing much to combat anti-Semitism... it's not just the far Right attacking synagogues. Labour has made anti-Semitism acceptable amongst its followers, while rushing to the defence of the Muslim community, many of whole are peaceful. Of course... the Jewish community are also peaceful to the point that we have no subgroup at war with the UK but still Jews are acceptable targets for Corbyn and his supporters.
