22 injured as blast rocks London Underground in terror attack

[latinboy]

LOL usually he waits a couple of days before he shows up and starts attacking those who post against Islamic terrorism...today he's on right away .... he's been taking severe beatings in the politics forums....

He waits, really? Cause everywhere I look, every thread I log into, he's there. He's everywhere, he's everywhere.

And I truly don't get what his gig is. In EVERY single thread about an islamic attack, he's in there attacking the members. Not once saying "holy shit, this is horrible". NO NO. He attacks the messenger and anyone else who denounces islamic terrorism. WTF?

And I don't understand how he gets away with all this. Even in this thread alone, he's calling someone a bigot, a racist, demeaning him in other ways. Multiplied by thousands, this is what he does in almost every thread he participates in... day in, day out.

Despite his 80,000 posts (or maybe because of it!), mods really need to rein this guy in, he's out of control with the relentless insults and nastiness.

I think you misunderstood my post, one of these days this Islamic terrorism thing will reach critical mass, and then we'll see perhaps a terror attack every week, twice a week or maybe even every day.

It seems to be headed that way

The US needs to de-escalate their middle East 'interventions' as well.
The attacks in Europe are despicable, but its also shocking that the US dropped 26,000 bombs on 7 Muslim countries last year as well.
For comparison, Phil, that's 3 bombs per hour every day last year.

Every time Islamic violence is mentioned, that number should also be mentioned.

The difference is, the US purposely tries to avoid bombing civilian targets, radical Islam intentionally tries to bomb civilian targets.

See the difference???!!

Any bombing of innocent civilians is reprehensible. The perps of this attack are scum, and the IRA, who did the same thing, are scum.

Your open support of this kind of attack on the public is disgusting. It's hard to believe that there are people like you who actually support terrorists--yet here you are, a confessed IRA supporter.

I would strongly suggest you think long and hard before you slight the IRA, as I suspect you know nothing of the history of Ireland, the 1916 uprising and the IRA. How the Black & Tans terrorised the Irish people. Where my family is from, if you were to call the Boyo's Terrorist, you'd be chased out of town and a generation ago, you'd just disappear. I know of what I speak as my family was involved in the 1916 uprising and were members of the original IRA.

During the Troubles, the IRA would call the newspapers to give a warning that a bomb was set to go off at such a place and time to give ample warning to minimize civilian casualties. The IRA from the 1970's were Marxist who wanted to overthrow the government in the Republic and force the British out of Northern Ireland be engaging in hit and run attacks against police barracks, military convoys etc. Your car would be stolen and used to transport a bomb to be parked out side of checkpoint. If you were a member of the Ulster Defence Forces or Protestant paramilitary groups targeting Catholics in Northern Ireland, you were considered a legitimate military target.

So when you sully the hero's of Ireland you just show your ignorance of the struggle of a people to be free. UP THE IRA!

My family is mainly Irish, much of it Catholic, but despite being raised by grandparents who completely backed the IRA, the line between freedom fighter and terrorist is a clear one to me. Fighting the army is fair game. No matter how badly the British forces treated Catholics, targeting civilians is not.

I'm glad that they signed on to peace and are moving forward and accept that amnesties are a pragmatic solution but it doesn't whitewash what they did. And the same goes for the UDA and the like.

I'll agree with you on that point (and I'm glad you specify it's radicals).

I thought the fact its radical muslims who are committing all this shit, should be obvious, no??!!

Many here and elsewhere try to claim it is mainstream Muslims which is what I take offense to.

Its NOT mainstream, its just a very large number of muslims who buy into this Jihad bullshit!

Yes. Considering there are 1.5 billion Muslims, one thousandth of one percent is a very large number.

But if a very large number really bought into jihad bullshit they would act on it. They don't. The vast majority like the vast majority of people on the planet just simply want to get on with their lives.

How is pointing out that the US dropped 26,000 bombs on 7 countries 'justifying' terrorism?
Both are wrong, but its only a total idiot who would expect that there is no 'blowback' when you drop so many bombs.

Even Trump had already killed over 1,000 civilians by the end of March.

Just check out the stupidity that's resulted from the US working Saudi Arabia.

And don't forget that ISIS only came about in the ashes of Saddam's army after the invasion of Iraq.

If you want to stop terrorism the world needs to de-escalate 'interventions' in the middle east.

 

[FAST]

Obviously justified

The English Muslims terrorise their country England,.... because the English bomb the Muslims terrorists country,... England.

The German Muslims terrorise their country England,.... because the Germans bomb the Muslims terrorists country,... Germany..

The English Muslims terrorise their country Belgium,.... because the Belgians bomb the Muslims terrorists country,... Belgium..

The English Muslims terrorise their country France,.... because the French bomb the Muslims terrorists country,... France.

Muslims in 3rd world countries bomb 3rd world countries,.... because 3rd world countries bomb 3rd world countries.

AND,... for those of the simple minded,... Islamic terrorists tend to be Muslims.

Glad that you acknowledge the issue is with radical muslims.

I think the percentage of the 3 million muslims in UK that are ISIS members make up a very small fraction of one percent of the popultion.

I'm not sure how much faith I put into those surveys that claim 1.5 million muslims in UK (half) support ISIS. Who knows how many people were actually surveyed and what did the questions say and how did they answer.

I would say like most immigrants they came here for a better life and that probably includes leaving behind radicals.

It is.

The guy I buy my shawarma from every weekend is Iranian, but he's a great guy!! I'll take bullet for him, dammit!! He's muslim but he drinks booze just like the rest of us.

BTW his mom is a hot Persian MILF


Cheers!!

Another IRA supporter, this one calling terrorists "heroes of Ireland" and still the usual clowns refuse to denounce these supporters of terrorism

Thank your for proving my point. You are saying terror attacks against civilians is expected "blowback". Sorry but despite your low opinion of Muslims, they are perfectly capable of making moral choices.


And your posts about Trump are pretty off topic considering that the recent terror attacks have been in Europe. Are you trying to say that running down pedestrians in London or Nice was because US attacks in the Syrian civil war? That makes absolutely no sense.

p.s. Assad, Hezbollah, Russia, and ISIS have killed way more civilians in Syria.

You are saying terrorism is the fault of the US, whereas you should be blaming the terrorists. It's no different than saying the IRA bombings were the fault of the UK.
