Terrorists. What should we do?

Another pearl of wisdom from JoeDan.

 

The thinking that "the enemy of my enemy IS my friend" is largely to blame for the situation we find ourselves in.

 

I don't think people coming to the aid of injured people after an atrocity are the enemies of anyone.

 

Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons!
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!

 

My favourite national anthem.

 

Not yet perhaps. I think we just have to accept that muslims are different to everyone else. All other religions are willing to adopt a live and let live attitude. They might preach and try to convert, but generaly speaking they show a tollerance and even respect towards those who think differently.

Muslims on the other hand think it's their DUTY to convert or kill all non believers, and they go about that with almost unbelievable fanatism. They remind me of the characters in "Life of Brian" who go mental if somebody says "Jehovah"

So I think it's best if muslims practice their intollerant way of life in muslim countries. But if they come to non muslim countries, they should respect our tollerance of other religions, our attitude towards homosexuals and our insistance that women have equal rights.

If muslims - and it's normally the ones with a * who are the problem- can't show tollerance, then they should go and live in a country where killing gays and female genital mutilation is acceptable.

 

I hope no * views me the same way they view you :smiley-laughing002:

 

You know many Muslims?

There's a lot I want to say but had a drink so might be best to think about it for a while

 

Send the lot of them home!! Is The Sun your favourite read? Because that post smells like Murdoch. Except they can spell tolerance.

 

'It seems like the Rag-heads and *'s are worrying your Dad
But your dad's favorite food is curry and kebab
It's funny, but it's sad how they make your mummy hurry with her bags
Rather read The Sun than study all the facts'.

 

I can honestly say I don't mate. I've never once in my life looked at someone as a potential terrorist threat or anything of the sort. In fact, coming from a Muslim background I'm more likely to take the * about how a * photograph of me is probably gonna do the rounds on Twitter if anything does go wrong in a city or town that I'm in at the time :smiley-laughing002:

It may be a generational thing but I don't really give a second thought to it.it may be naivety but I like to think a sense of scale helps - IS are, in the context of human history, or even western civilianisation, hugely insignificant. Now it does suck for us to be living through times of increased terrorist threat, but we have to look at it from a statistical point of view rather than emotional one and see that the chance foamy thing happening is really, really remote. As crass as that may sound in the background of such a significant attack it is still true imo, they only really win when they disrupt our way of life and cause us to question the folk that live amongst us and carry on their day to day lives like anyone else.

I just get the feeling that in a few years time, IS will be looked at as an jangly scar on 21st century human history, but very little beyond that.

 

I hope you are right about most of that.

Im not saying i fear as such, but im 'aware' of thoughts entering my head that were not there before.
