Just finished the school run, a lot of solemn faces.
Many regulars in the playground not present.
Everyone knows someone who attended the concert last night.
Most parents dropped the kids off and waited to pick them up.
The bomb went off in the middle in the foyer carried by a suicide bomber.
60 Lost children are in the local Holiday Inn hotel waiting to be matched up with their parents.
22 murdered and 59 injured, some fighting for their lifes in 8 hospitals across the North West.
Thousand of young children targeted!!
Many on their first concert and should have been an fun,amazing time.
I feel sick and sad.
and those that subscribe to that view must be just as stupid considering that worldwide, many more muslims are killed than filthy white imperialists in muslim terrorist acts.Launching attacks on civilian western targets is merely reciprocity in the eyes of many Arabs and if one fails to recognise that then you must be quite, quite stupid.
must be something else driving them to commit these nihilist acts.
Your comment is as inane as the 'actor' you picked for your avatar. Fact 1. If the US had abided by the findings of Hans Blix among millions of others, and hadn't used their highly propagandised invasion of Iraq (funny how Fox News is now the only non neo liberal outlet reporting something with a passing acquaintance with the truth as opposed to CNN et al), the horror show of the past decade would never have happened and 2. If said neo liberal politicians-with-an-agenda, on either side of the pond, hadn't allowed thousands upon thousands of undocumented economic migrants, er, refugees to flood Europe, It Wouldn't Have Happened and neither would any of the past and sure to be future attacks.
I'm sure the families of these kids appreciate your throwaway 'RIP'. What's your user name on VOAT btw? And, ah, a Thatcher fan 'Keep a stiff upper one and carry on, we'll be down here in our bunkers sipping tea and eating crumpets, if you haha, need us'. Dear God ..
I do not mean to be flippant but if ya put all the punters killed in terrorist attacks up against the annual Thai road accident toll it's fuk all.
True innit, yet the world don't declared war on this shithouse.

That was my point really. Terrorists gonna terrorist but the actual impact of terrorism is tiny compared to other dangers in life so we should not let them change the way we go about things.Originally Posted by Thedogsbollix
11,000,000 Muslims killed by Muslims since 1948.
You seem to be trying to master the non sequitur.
What is your point exactly?
Just to clarify, my point was that religious terrorism is primarily a feature of radical Islam, and is a global, not necessarily anti-western phenomenon.
Maybe my sources for some reason don't cover all the terrorist Jews or Christians, perhaps you could list the dozens of terrorist attacks committed by each of them this month.
There seems to be some discussion on the news about the lack of security at the event.
I can't really see what difference that would make, the terrorist looked for a choke point and found it.
How far a perimeter do they want to draw for these things?
Roughly 10 by Colombian rebels, another 3 in Ukraine, 1 in Rome, could be classed as carried out by Xtians, but not for religious reasons.
None by Jews.
All the rest, 134 of them (aprox) carried out by Islamist groups.

if its not the americans that they imagine are persecuting them, then its some other bogey man lurking in the depths of their primitive consciousness. they are tribals and will pick a fight with anyone.
summed up nicely by uris ...
“So before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel.” (The Haj, p. 15)
and on it goes.
...and they wont stop until they have dragged the world kicking and screaming back to the stone age, unless of course they are taught a sharp lesson by those societies more advanced than them.

LEON Uris? Seriously?Originally Posted by taxexile
Now that we know your opinions are formed by airport blockbusters much becomes clear. What I had put down to your increasing senility is clearly down to your poor taste in literature. What next, Jilly Cooper's guide to the 2007 Financial Crisis, the Afghan War as seen through the lens of James Michener's Caravans?
The Above Post May Contain Strong Language, Flashing Lights, or Violent Scenes.
Err, Tax, Muslim society gave us Algebra and modernised mathematics, modern Christian Europe gave us two world wars and the industrialised slaughter of an entire fucking race.
You truly are a fucking moron these days and increasingly given to pitiful bigotry suggesting that in your advancing dementia you are evolving into a fucking retarded septic with all his brains in his arse.
Gert a grip and stop making an arse of yourself.
Leon Uris indeed.

SMASH ISIS - SUPPORT YPG
As anti fascists we do not hesitate to condemn last nights attack which was undoubtedly ordered or inspired by the Salafi Fascists of ISIS, Al Qaeda or similar.
The people of Manchester will not be divided by any of those who wish to paint such attacks as simply a matter of 'muslims vs non muslims': the Salafi Fascists themselves, the British Far Right, the Right Wing corporate media, and the imperialist politicians who wish to capitalise on our fears of Salafi terrorism yet support politically and financially those Gulf regimes who are the economic and ideological mentors of the Salafi groups wreaking terror across the world from Syria to Manchester.
These forces wish to see us opposed to one another, yet we are friends, relatives, neighbours and colleagues. We are no mugs in Manchester. We will stand together.
We must root out those behind such divisive ideology and expose them, and stop their poison decisively.
Whilst we mourn our losses here, we salute the Mancunian anti-fascist volunteers currently fighting ISIS as part of the International Freedom Battalion, part of the People's Defense Units YPG
