Dr_Pangloss Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The press do a great job at encouraging people to commit further attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I didn't think I'd see the day that a columnist and interviewer for a daily newspaper in this country (The Torygrpah) would call for internment of thousands of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post colhint Posted May 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think whoever forms the next government should give a higher public profile to the Muslim Council of Britain. People say that 99% of Muslims are decent people, I think it's more like 99.99% are very decent people. I want to hear the MCB have a voice. I rarely hear about them in the media. In fact I think the only times I hear about them is when they have to apologise for an arsehole who claims their faith. I do remember a while back a local mosque raised money when Jewish graves were desecrated, hardly mentioned if I recall. I think if they have a higher platform they could highlight the many of the good things done by Muslims in this country. Unfortunately at the moment all we hear at the moment is the terrible things done by a tiny, tiny minority. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one was rumoured to have had an asthma attack. To my knowledge every terror attack committed has been carried out by a British citizen. Which seems slightly at odds with the Daily Hail editorial stance, which is a little odd.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm not angry with normal decent Muslims, and I'm not angry with trump,certain papers, certain people on twitter or whoever else people find an excuse to have a dig at. I'm angry with the sick bastard who did this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I still can't comprehend how disturbed someone must be to deliberately target children and teens who were just out to have a fun evening seeing their favourite pop star. It must be the most horrific attack ever on UK soil because of the specific target. Been upsetting reading and watching the news today. A good friend of mine at work, his brother had taken his kids there last night. Thankfully they are fine, but I feel so sorry for the families who have lost someone. What was nice to see was the community of all faiths coming together last night to help the stranded and injured people get home or provide them somewhere to stay. Restores your faith in people at a difficult time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this, I had no family or friends to worry about today but I found myself tearful sometimes. The girls who have been named lived in our area don't know them but it's just horrific to think that somebody feels that this is justified.

Me either. I have to say though, that anyone so minded to blow themselves up, whether because of warped religionism, some kind of distorted and misplaced revenge thing...or any other reason... is already so far mental as to be utterly beyond comprehension. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone past that by the time someone decides to "martyr" themselves. Because if someone has decided to kill children and themselves, it's not about "normal" or "abnormal" - they're off their **** box by that point. If it was about discriminating between people, that would mean they had the ability to reason. There is no sanity in suicide and murder, only insanity.

A tiny minority in a sense but in another way there are too many in Islam that think this way. I do feel sorry for decent Muslim folk who have to suffer whatever because some people of their faith can't live peacefully under a world with different religions and views.
