Attacks on Brussels

[Pro Tour Punditry]

So who would you turn to to stop the ever increasing attacks?

Ronnie Pickering?

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Might they be cut from the same cloth?

More than likely - why treat them differently?

 

[jhawk]

How would you fix the problems?

Certainly not by dividing society further, destroying property and just being general thugs. Unity is needed. The protesters are doing the terrorist's job for them by their actions.

As people, I wouldn't. I would obviously respond to individual actions as appropriate.

Kicking over a few shrines and candles, though yobbish, isn't quite the same as packing your outer-wear with a whole heap of self-tapping screws in order to shred the flesh of those around you, is it?

Quite right, that's the job of students.

Forgive the cheek. But given your apparent support for, or at least acquiescence in, a bunch of skinhead thugs trampling a place of such raw grief, a place of community memorial, I will ask you how YOU would "fix the problems".

I shudder to think what the answer might be - but perhaps I misjudge you. Maybe you will indeed come up with some insightful, creative, and potentially successful idea.


But before you start typing away, have a wee thought. Essentially, anybody starting from this level of careless language, misunderstanding, myopia, and (frankly) sheer ****** ignorance ...

As for the numbers killed by islamic terrorism. Yes so far it's "only" a few hundred in Europe compared to the two thousand or so over twenty five years who died in Northern Ireland, but they've only just started. Do you seriously think Islamic terrorism will end soon?

... may well in fact be part of the problem.

An infinitessimally small part? Or a huge part? Who knows ...

Point 1 - what is this "Islamic terrorism" that you talk of? [Hint - knowing your enemy is a pretty basic element of getting your strategy right!]

Point 2 - why do you only count the "few hundred" victims of Islamist terrorism in Europe? [Hint - knowing your enemy's capabilities and strategy is just as much an element of getting your strategy right!] Or do thousands upon thousands of Nigerians, Camerounians, Libyans, Syrians, Iraqis, Kurds, Yazidis, Yemenis, Turks, Pakistanis, Afghanis, Phillipinos, Indonesians, Kenyans, Somalis, Indians, Bangladeshis, Lebanese, Palestinians, etc etc etc, not count? Damn it - you've even managed to ignore 9/11; 3000 victims, of whom 372 were nationals from 61 countries.

So, @Accy cyclist - an interesting challenge for you. I look forward to being pleasantly surprised by your insight and creativity.



































Maybe.

Absolutely. Perhaps I should have been clearer as to my meaning, as I certainly did not mean to draw an equivalence - for there is none.

What I mean is that ISIS (and Islamist terrorism in general) seeks to divide - into an 'us' versus 'them', type-scenario. Theoretically, I would guess that in an ideal situation for ISIS, Muslims will flock to them after being alienated by the West (that alienation helped by groups like the Neo-Nazis that protested today). Such actions by the Far Right only drive otherwise peaceful people into fighting against the West.

Are they more or less stupid than the people who attach bombs to themselves?

My friend's sister-in-law is now breathing on her own.

And in other news, some of the vilest people on the planet killed 69 people and injured hundreds today in Lahore, most of them children playing in a park. I guess we could send some of Europe's worst to stamp on their memorials too, but I doubt that would help much.

In more news today, Syria recaptured Palmyria from ISIS.

Perhaps if the west had spent more time engaging existing regimes, and making the world a better and more equal place, and less time undermining other countries for our own selfish political and economic goals, we might not have birthed a squatter terrorist parastate so good at propaganda that it manages to look like 'the answer' to disatisfied young Muslim men the world over.

The flwers and tributes inthe square are a memorial to tose who died, and never intended to be an active protest, if aything if you look at the variety of people who have laid flowers then it is a positive thing

Trampling and destroying a memorial to Belgians, laid by other Belgians is breathtaking in its stupidity and ignorance

[QUOTE 4213092, member: 45"]You didn't say that, don't make things up. You said something would get worse when the far right get going. I asked you what you meant by "get going" and you were afraid to answer.

Now you seem to think you said something else, and that today's actions were proof that you were right.

You weren't. For you to be right, things will have to take a turn for the much worse as a result of far right actions. What we got today was the opposite, as the cheering proved.[/QUOTE]
Same thing..
you just wont answer ..and Adrian liked your post..and he never gives his opinion either..
must be a link shortage atm on google

 

[Fab Foodie]

Who?

Don't you know who he is?

 

[Accy cyclist]

I don't have simple answers but I would encourage tolerance and understanding rather than hatred and division. How about you?

Certainly not by dividing society further, destroying property and just being general thugs. Unity is needed. The protesters are doing the terrorist's job for them by their actions.

"destroying property and just being general thugs" What property was destroyed?

Really?

Katie Hopkins hits the nail on the head when she says it's not the "far right" who are the threat, but the "far left" who are treated with kid gloves by the police'. Keep talking about disenfranchised Muslim youths as much as you like but these disenfranchised Muslims have had more financial resources thrown at them than most groups i can think of.
