What kind of fucking filth would attack a group of young teenagers...mainly girls. Fuck me this makes me sick to my stomach but enraged. My daughter goes to these concerts and now she has to worry about getting fucking blown up?
Fuck me the world is a cunt of a place at times.

- Most likely homegrown dirtbag criminals doing it in the name of Isis for street cred or martyrdom. No amount of bombs dropped on Syria can prevent shit like thi_niko
- How do you think British law enforcement will respond?robotron3k
- With security theatre.i_monk
- idk, deranged fan? there was that one guy obsessed with bjork. it was after the show, no?Squiddy
- I suspect as well, security theater. The Brits don't blink at stuff like this but the West is at war and we don't realize it.robotron3k
- homegrown dirtbags all have one thing in common. second generation immigrants who don't assimilate.hotroddy
- large gatherings make me nervous for this very reason -- basically after the french concert situation last year. I don't think it'll be an isolated incidentshellie
- especially since it gets so much attention and it's hard to totally secure huge crowds like that. People still have to get in/out of the building.shellie

- @gnash - I love America in so many ways but yep you are right - I am not so keen on Christian right-wing Americans. As I am not keen on right-wing Brits (it'sfadein11

- Mind you, that's really the Turks fault for siding wiz ze Germans in dubya dubya wun when they really should've focused on domestic shit.detritus
- I imagine most Muslims would say that terrorists don't do it in Allah's name. From the middle easts point of view the Christians are invading + murderingset
- Sorry, I don't believe that. I think 'they' simply see the West as a meddling influence, solely for its own gain.
Rightly or wrongly.detritus - The only MEasterner's who invoke fears of Western Gods are the cretinous likes of Daesh who have to frame it in their own context.detritus

- Ginger girl in Pink's having a fucking day though. Every newspaper here in Blighty's got her pretty face splayed across.detritus
- America did not go into Iraq because of God, despite Bush's comments. God does not drive US policy in any way.Gnash
- That's so ridiculously naive, bees. I hope you're just trying to make a point. (which I get, btw)Gnash
- yeah I also remember reading Bushy saying he was guided by god or doing god's work_niko
- Gnash, you're an intelligent guy. Do you think that terrorism is caused by the Islamic God or the reaction to white people invading and...set
- ... murdering in a land that happens to be occupied by Muslims...?set
- Terrorism is the reaction, and an extremely small one statistically, to the occupation of their land by western forcesset
- If foreign troops came to America, forced a foreign bank and murdered anyone that opposed it, and a few Americans fought back and set off bombs...set
- ... In the opposing forces country, American media would label them as heroes and all americams would celebrate.set
- What's differentset
- Propaganda tells people that these are archaic, mindless cretins murdering without reason or logicset
- Reason and logic tells us that they're people fighting against the invasion of their land and the murder of their peopleset
- America are the terrorist, frankly.set
- Isset
- America is certainly reaping what the sow in the mid-east. I never said they were free of responsibility.Gnash
- Only saying that God isn't their motivationGnash
- They're not killing in the name of God.Gnash
- religiously motivated slaughter is a well honed skill over in the cradle of civilization.Gnash
- the west's involvement isn't required to fuel that darkness.Gnash
- Your logic is biased Gnash. Religion is a tool to use. There are clerics/leaders who use this tool to inflict brains to create terror. Just like Bush using itBeeswax
- To affect the brains of those soldiers who have gone to Iraq or those who voted for his 2.term and approved of terror in IraqBeeswax
- And those brains that are captured by that pseudo islam ideology of Isis are actually ripened by that guy who talked to God.Beeswax
- So dont single out a religion and create anger in people like me. You are the first problem of everything.Beeswax
- So what's happening now? Are you still blaming the US and Christians for the mess the middle east is in? Are you still blaming bush?_niko
- The biggest threat and enemy of Muslims are other Muslims. It would take a thousand bush wars to equal the blood spilled by your own hands._niko
- And please realize that americas only God is money. They'll use Christianity for convenience, when they need votes or canon fodder_niko
- And everyone knows what a farce bush's war was, if the US actually cared about stamping out terror they would have carpet bombed Saudi Arabia instead._niko
- Bees, I'm not singling out "a" religion, they are all stained with blood. I'm only saying the USA is not motivated by God to spill that blood.Gnash
- Whereas, the motivation to spill blood in the cresent is God.Gnash

- Careful robot, many around her defend radical islam while despising Christianity for being religious freaks.Hayoth
- Actually people are simply intelligent enough to recognise that it's just a very small group of morons on both sidesset
- All religious people are at least slightly moronic in my view, but there are varying degrees of moronocism, as people like hayoth and omg flaunt wonderfullyset

- you don't see Presbyterians chasing Unitarians out of town at the point of a spearGnash
- while there are certainly wing-nuts in all religious groups, the spectrum is not on an equal metricGnash
- You're right. Very broadly speaking the middle and east is a few hundred years behind the west. We were doing the same thing not so long ago.set
- .. I agree with you though. In general they haven't developed past it quite like the west has.set
- That said, one of my oldest friends is a turk, an observant muslim who's entire family is are the kindest, most generous people i've met...Gnash
- and not once in all the years i've known them has there been any kind of rhetoric that reflects the hyperbolic crap inflicted on muslims todayGnash
- And I don't want to give the impression that I think all muslims subscribe to that jihadist lunacy.Gnash

I was just around the corner from Drottninggatan on my way to the cinema when it happened. I saw a load of people running past and some in tears. Didn't see or hear the incident. Read on Twitter that a truck had crashed and thought of what happened in Glasgow.
That was about 40 minutes ago. The film started and just now it suddenly stopped and we left the room - the streets have been cleared and we have been told to stay inside, away from the windows.
Details and news are incredibly sketchy. I huess i'll know .ore when everyone else does :/

A man suspected of planting a bomb at an airport in North Carolina was preparing to “fight a war on US soil”, the FBI has said.Michael Christopher Estes was arrested after an unexploded device was found at Asheville Regional Airport on Friday morning.
The FBI’s criminal complaint states that Mr Estes admitted planting the bomb, which tests revealed contained Ammonium Nitrate, an explosive often used in terrorist attacks.

There really should be a blanket media silence on terrorism from now on. Don't give it any coverage or exposure whatsoever.
But no, of course the scum media won't do that, they thrive on this shit.
- There also needs to be far more discussion and criticism of certain ideas within Islam, without being labelled a racist or bigot.inteliboy
- if the wankers would be ppl of faith they would respect their own religious laws. it's ramadan, so muslims are instructed to refrain from fighting.uan
- But when Ramadan is over, it's completely okay to fight.Claymantis
- srsly asking, is this a positive psychology thing? like don't talk about suicide and it will happen less? what news should be allowed vs censored?sofas
- for example should lousy education, poverty or pollution be covered?sofas
- I am concerend that silencing the issue won't make it go away, and suppressin the discourse will create other problems, but maybe I didn't understandsofas
- reduced reporting for sure - the rolling news is horrible to watch and feeds the problem on all sides.fadein11
- @inteliboy - what media are you reading/watching? the mainstream media in the UK is heavily weighted against Islam - the problems are discusses/criticisedfadein11
- endlessly.fadein11
- I don't see mainstream media weighted heavily against Islam at all. If anything any criticism is quickly met with accusations of islamophobia and bigotry.IRNlun6
- @fadein11 I also think the problem is the broadcasting oligopolies. Give the public access to broadcast what ever they want and mass media's power might declinesofas
- You and I fadein have been arguing about this probably for a couple years now and my position is most definitely in the minority.IRNlun6
- We have social media now. Controlling the news cycle is nearly impossible at this point.IRNlun6
- never talked about this w/ fadein :)
Social media is not an equal alternative, folks don't have journalist privileges, access to broadcast equipment etc.sofas - terrorism thrives on mass fear. fear is best instilled in people through propaganda ie the media apart from the act itself. i'm with @set on this one.renderedred
- @IRNlun6 I agree with you about the Islamophobia claims, but the wider picture includes the context of covering Islam vs others, coverage time and sentimentsofas
- Are criticism of Catholicism met with the same reaction? I'd like to hope what set suggests would help. I just see it as impossible at this point.IRNlun6
- Although I agree sofas on coverage time.IRNlun6
- On second thought, criticism of Catholicism is more widely accepted because they allow it. They sure a hell didn't allow it in the past.IRNlun6
- prsnly I want to be entertained and the news cycle delivers more. It's sick and so is society, but raitings (mixed with propaganda) talk. also chicken and eggsofas
- @IRNInun Catholicism just deals with it differently. They don't accept criticism. Did anything change in regards to rampant pedophilia within their ranks ever?renderedred
- @sofas exactly. media is an industry, ratings are the currency.renderedred
- the Church hired better PRsofas
- and lawyers ;)renderedred
- Fair points. Perhaps it's an unrealistic expectation that any faith would self criticize.IRNlun6
- Catholicism sure didn't deal with their issues with pedophilia from within.IRNlun6
- the difference is we have people gladly blowing themselves up for religion. That's a problem that should be addressed from within, not denied as aformed
- "only 1% are radicals". IMHO, there should be people turned over to intelligence daily on suspicion. It's the only way I see to stop this.formed
- This is were I find the mass media contributing to the problem. For whatever reason they want to push the narrative of nothing to do with Islam.IRNlun6
- In doing so, it also ignores that Muslims are most definitely fighting against this in their own communities.IRNlun6
- Can't quite put it to words. There's a difference between saying a community has nothing to do with an internal problem, but they're dealing with it.IRNlun6
- Vs. acknowledging the problem as well as their efforts to deal with it.IRNlun6
- @IRUNlun6, I agree, and this might be a conspiracy, but maybe not saying it outright increases rage, frustration, anger at PC and vigilante, which fuel raitingssofas
- and support propaganda goalssofas
- @sofas I agree entirely and it's tough to put a finger on why. Does it serve a grander goal of globalization, or more ratings and profit?IRNlun6
- @irn - I said UK media? You live in UK? If so i didnt realise. That being said we were discussing media and all the dominant msm in uk is right leaning and yesfadein11
- The Islam debate is never far from the front pages / screens. UK liberal media is in the minority here. How ironicfadein11
- Liberal as in liberal not the neo variety which so many people seem to confuse these daysfadein11
- I don't live in the UK fadein11 so I'll concede in assuming your media is as biased towards the "left" as in the US. Although I find similarities in narrative.IRNlun6
- Only one thing can be done to stop this, re-write the Koran.robotron3k
- haha - the UK media is biased towards the right - anyone UK citizen will tell you that. And just to be clear for a 3rd time - Islam isfadein11
- under constant scrutiny by it.fadein11
- never a good idea to assume when dealing with v.complex / difficult subjects.fadein11
- Especially when about countries you know little about.fadein11
- I thought you were gonna say "build a wall," or, "ban all muslims," but you surprised me and said something so humanitarian and caring. You never cease to amazemonospaced
- Even the historically left Guardian plays puppet to it's masters these days. Channel 4 news is probably the closest to a left media we have and The Mirror butfadein11
- that's a reactionary redtop.
And don't get me started on the BBC - the most biased of public service broadcasters.fadein11 - Yeah this needs to be part of the discussion. The whole purpose of terrorism is to create a media spectacle and that's exactly what Western media delivers foryuekit
- them. Not that it should be ignored but imagine if it was covered at the same level as any other tragedy, would the number of attacks go up or down as a result?yuekit
- ugh... they're zealots... they do this for GOD not MEDIA ATTENTION. Yeah, the attention furthers their cause... but it's all about their FAITH.PonyBoy

One of my co-worker was at the american airline desk when the bomb exploded.
Everybody behind him on the line are dead.
He miraculously avoided the blast while reaching for his passport. Still, he was first in the line with his 3 years old and his wife.
The baby got stitches on his head due to ceiling collapse.
For the moment he is deaf and in shock.
He never travel, for once , he decided to take his familly in vacation....- Jesus... Sorry to hear but God they were lucky.fadein11

Back home now.
After I last wrote. About 10 minutes later everyone went back into the salon/screen room and sat down to wait for news. A guy came in and said that they would start the film again and you can watch or wait in the foyer. A friend called just as it started up so I went out, had a chat, went back in and sat down as the trailers finished.
Then something surreal happened. The film stopped, screen turned red and a girl came in - in silhouette and backlit from the light in the corridor - she looked and searched for her friend sitting a bit aways from me and said 'we're being evacuated'.
A few seconds of numb comprehension and everyone poured out - the cops had taped off pretty much all around Hötorget and the centre where the crash happened and were telling people to leave the area. Choppers in the sky, cops in protective gear, security personnel - the whole bit. But no fear, no madness or frenzy - people were super cool and kinda just headed wherever they needed to go. The tunnelbana was closed, so I just walked home towards Söder, (got my 11,000 steps! Woo!) picked up some food shopping and now i'm in my pants drinking coffee and checking the news.
A weird fucking thing, to be sure.
And thanks for the concern <3

Shocked about the bombing in the heart of Istanbul. We decided to move from that beautiful city because we didn't feel safe there anymore.
These look like uncoordinated attacks but they are able to change the whole psychology of a country.
Whoever or whatever reason behind this is plain evil. Pure bad. Don't understand how someone gets motivated to do such things.

Yeah, you hardly ever hear people equating Islam with terror. Such a taboo line of argument these days. Just look at the news, or the press or social media. Barely a mention. Probably because they're such a timid, reticent bunch, the Islam=terror theorists. Poor little lambs.
