    Allah akbar, Islam is a religion of peace, we need you, you the leftists, stay on our side. No more bombing, we promise.

    • pretty fucking sad that everyone already knew this was a muslim. even fade assumed it was._niko
  • Fax_Benson0

    imply that Islam is a religion of violence and therefore that all Muslims, by nature, are not peaceful - in the knowledge that leftists will defend the counter-view, allowing you to reaffirm your view that leftists are the enablers of terrorism.

    well played. again. what have we achieved. nothing.

    • Is it OK for a Muslim to disobey or reinterpret the Koran?Morning_star
    • I don't fucking know.Fax_Benson
    • Well, it isn't. It is punishable by death as Muslin believe that the Koran is the actual word of God, unlike Christians and Jews who have holy books written...Morning_star
    • Oh ffsFax_Benson
    • ...by men. To deviate from the instructions of the Koran is un-Muslim. This is fundamentally why Islam is different.Morning_star
    • how anyone can defend islam or any other religion this day and age is beyond me._niko
    • You're right. 'Defence'of religion is folly. However I think it's necessary to 'understand'. Spitting fire due to ignorance is just as destructive.Morning_star
    • Sure, we should try to understand it but Religion is based on and thrives on ignorance. Not rational thought, not scientific evidence, blind fucking ignorance._niko
    • Niko, if u look at history there are a bunch of scientists tried to prove God through rationalism. Descartes is one, Omar Khayyam is another that I know of.Beeswax
    • several among greek philosophers. None of these guys are dumber than us. There's rationalism in the core of every belief. As of evidence,Beeswax
    • theories are a big part of science,from big bang to evolution to dark matter & they are all being debated because of lack of evidence but you dont deny them.Beeswax
    • religion is the science of human core. Everybody can find their own truth in it. Zen masters, Kaballah ppl, Sufis they are rational, at least the ones I know.Beeswax
    • because they have methods & evidence about the effects of certain practices on human psyche for centuries and it really transform lives. That is rational.Beeswax
    • Not rational is putting everyone who believes in some practiceor message in the same sack and label it "blind fucking ignorants"Beeswax
    • Atheism has become mainstream only in the last century, whatever we have now, science or technology wise, is carried to this day by those fucking ignorants.Beeswax
    • Athieism as you call it has been more mainstream now because anyone who denied the existence of God was burned at the stake._niko
    • There were the ignorant masses and the not so ignorant clergy and ruling class who knew that religion was utter bullshit but it was a great tool of power._niko
    • Now I also know that I live in a progressive country and have the luxury to think say and believe or not believe in whatever the fuck I want to. If I was living_niko
    • If I was living in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan or most other muslim counties I would't be saying shit. I know Turkey is supposedly secular and much more_niko
    • progressive than most muslim countries but the way things are going with Erdogan, I'm not so sure any more._niko

    this isn't going away. Liberals have to wake up and acknowledge their role in this - but the reason the debate isn't going anywhere isn't because the PC police have said it's taboo. It's because the language of the debate is so fucking infantile. Deliberately so.

    • agree, liberals shouldn't be defending these fucktards, but liberals should also be ridiculing christians and all other organized religions as well._niko
    • why? organised religion isn't going away, like it or not. we're stuck with it.Fax_Benson
    • why should we be stuck with it? shouldn't we educate our children to reject superstisious nonsense that our blind ancestors believed in thousands of years ago?_niko
    • by all means but you can't and won't make everybody do that. demanding it will make things worse.Fax_Benson
    • yeah it'll be a slow burn but it needs to happen sooner rather than later. If we do our part we can change it in a generation..._niko
    • but reaching the rest of the world is the tricky part._niko
    • and it needs to be an awakening nothing forced which will be worse_niko
    • I don't think any liberal makes excuses for ISIS or radical Islam - it's when the the fundamentalist line gets blurred that I get annoyed.fadein11
    • you can't say anything, not a single word, about the issues with Islam - with out being destroyed by liberal groups and media.inteliboy

    I was reading that the terror threat in the UK was raised to critical which is supposed to mean another attack may be immanent. ive never heard of this scale outside of the US. The last time i remeber something like this being used it was the Bush era. How serious do you take those scales in the UK? Will you actually change habbits around this? Or, do you just use this warning as a way to keep the general public's eye open.

    • We pay no more heed than normal, but that 'normal' (as Robotron hinted at earlier today) tends already towards the considerative and somewhat apprehensive.detritus
    • "Fuck'em".
      I think that's the general idea.

    Everytime an attack happen, the medias, the politicians and the people have the same reactions and says the same things.

    And we all go back to where we were and forget about it very quickly.

    Its weird.

    • So what are they supposed to think?detritus

    ❤ Manchester :)

    Manchester bombing: Mancunians shut down EDL rally after terror attack

    Mancunians were quick to condemn a group of English Defence League protesters following the deadly explosion which killed 22 people and injured more than 59 others.

    Men carrying English flags protested outside the Arndale Shopping Centre in the city centre, which had been evacuated earlier that day.

    Local people who opposed the extreme right-wing protest outnumbered those of the EDL.

    • downvoted by QBN EDL supporter - fuckin' lol.fadein11
    • Manchester won't be divided or become part of the narrative - they are far too proud of their city to turn against their own.fadein11

    The UK is the most observed nation in the world thanks to Mother Teresa's snoopers charter, did it work, did it fuck!

    12 years on from 7/7 and we have learnt nothing, nada, zilch, feck all. But we do have some nice military rapid response units to make us all feel safer.

    The UK gov need to stop British citizens becoming radicalised instead of spending all our hard earned tax on wars in the middle east. The repeat patterns are painfully obvious: Male, British, known to Security & extreme religious views.

    Finally, look at what has happened so far on Teresa's (Mrs U-Turn lie fest) watch: Westminster attacks, NHS hacks, Manchester attacks. It's only going to get worse with her in charge...a lot worse.

    It's not the left enabling radicalization of immigrants, it's the right insisting they aren't welcome, disenfranchising them at the ballot box, harassing them in the street, vandalizing their institutions and property, and even generations later after doing everything to make poverty intergenerational, questioning their citizenship and loyalty and contribution.

    • Thinking will this good Muslim become radicalized and blow up 100 people one day? You don't really say the same for Christians or Buddhists or atheists_niko

    • Unfortunately especially in the west all news about Muslims is negative 99% of it is about some atrocity. This doesn't help the brand._niko
    • We don't hear about innovations, advances in technology and science, advances in medicine, arts, culture literature... all we get is the shit._niko

    Just a small reminder from 2016 for those on this site in the dark.

    More than 30,000 Muslims from across the world meet in the UK to reject Isis and Islamic extremism
