Don't see it myself. You're being overly zealous. Leave the China man alone.

I do. No, I'm not.
And his responses suggest he's perfectly able to look after himself with the chat.

They need to focus on locking up that c*** with the Isil branded bag at the beginning of the first video.

'innocent syrians are dying for no good reason, i know i'll kill some innocent brits for no good reason'

i think when people wanna go out and do dumb shit they should just roll a fat spliff and stick on some otis redding. chill for a bit and if u still wanna kill someone for political reasons stick a placard round your neck and jump off a bridge

ISIL AND

And what? What does it say on the back?

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

'fwends'

then it has one of those cutesy japanese pics of al-bagdhadi with great big anime eyes and mohammed with a halo over his head

 

[Womble98]

The irony is that the UK hasn't had any civilians causalities reported from its Syria attacks so far. All we have done is blow up oil fields.


If I was a government minister I would try and bring about the same systems that France has. France has closed a few mosques this past week for being too radical. Our government should have the power to do the same

 

[Abertawe]

You could argue France were too hard on shutting off elements of Islam that they didn't like. The Burka ban was provocative. Have the subsequent attacks been a coincidence or a response to the government reducing freedoms of people based on religion?

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

the burka ban was a weird one. it's a case of freedom vs equality, but legislating against cultural inequality by taking people's freedoms and attacking their religion isn't a great way to foster unity and inclusion. people can have two identities, muslim and french. forcing those identities into conflict, well, it creates conflict

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

The interesting this is, Muslims are more likely to identify by nationality first and religion second in France than pretty much anywhere in Western Europe.

 

[Womble98]

The ban was a ban also on people covering their faces with scarves generally in public though wasn't it?

 

[Dr Mantis Toboggan]

yeah, but the general ban was added later on in the planning stage. it started out as just a ban on muslim veils, they just expanded it to fool idiots into thinking they weren't attacking islam

 

[Techno Natch]

Opps.

 

[silkyman]

That was in January.

 

[Techno Natch]

That was in January.

Lol! That might be why then! Silly pages sharing stuff that's months old and silly me for not checking dates. As you were.

 

[silkyman]

I hate when that happens.

'FUCK... Look... Germany has invaded Poland!!'

'Erm.... Mate...'

What is the difference between the Donald Trump campaign and DAESH?
One is a group of nutcase religious extremists, led by a frothing madman, who won't be satisfied until they have established a regime based on guns and intolerance. The other is a Middle Eastern terrorist group.

You've got to admit, there's a certain symmetry between the two...
One is trying to get non-believers out of their country and the other is trying to stop non-believers getting into their country.

Sure they're both nutters but one is committing a genocide against non-believers and the other is using lazy rhetoric to further a political goal. There isn't really a moral equivalency.
