But then if it turns out to be a gas explosion or something else they would look silly. Well it was confirmed by police it was a suicide bombing, not a gas explosion.

llap Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'd just like to point out that suicide violates Islamic law. Therfore, any Islamists who does it will, according to a hadith citing Muhammad himself, go straight to Hell. Islamists are Muslims but they're Muslin heretics and it's high time their own community dealt with them and undergo a Reformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxman1980 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Absolutely horrendous attack on people who were attending an event to enjoy themselves. A fantastic response from the people of Manchester offering help and support to those caught up in events. 6 hours ago, homarus said: Time to shut the medieval murdering bastards down, whether they were lucky enough to be born in the Uk or otherwise (Can't bring myself to say British because they're not!) Deepest sympathies to all involved in this tragedy! Unfortunately, if they are born here then they are British regardless of race or religious belief. 2 hours ago, asitis said: Strong leadership is needed, please no more candles and hashtags ! The softly softly approach trying not upset communities is not working, this bridges all political divides, the first duty of government is to protect its people ! As above, the person responsible may have been a British citizen and therefore would fall under the protection of the government and its people. This is not me being a "snowflake" or a "libtard". This is me saying lets wait until we have the facts before we commence a witch hunt. Terrorists want that type of reaction, they want to divide communities and radicalise people. Certain groups will claim responsibility regardless of whether or not they were because it is "good publicity" for them and their cause. We should be focusing on supporting those who have lost family and friends. Once we have all the facts then we can make an informed decision on what to do next.

Chinahand Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 There's a tiny, but non-zero chance of a false flag or non Islamist Otherwise more interesting will be convert or not, British born or not, North West local or not. We'll just have to wait for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homarus Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 So how long do you think it'll take to come to this informed decision and who are ''we'' Manxman ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 On the one hand I' m glad ISIS has become a focal point for all the murderous religious fanatics. It's so much easier to kill them all in a target rich environment. On the other hand as their losses mount and with the endgame being played out they will get ever more deperate to retain a "presence" via the only means left open to them - local nutjobs. Even when they are destroyed as an organisation imho you can expect attacks like this to continue. How long for I wonder - forever maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxb&b Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It would be nice if MF could show it's own mark of respect by not having this thread descend into petty squabbling and in-fighting. Just this once. We can do that on every other thread. R.I.P the innocent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen any reports from the Police confirming the details of the attacker as yet. The only report I have seen states that this was "a man acting alone" but no further details have been given, As for who "we" are, I was referring to Greater Manchester Police and the anti-terrorism units who need to complete their investigations. Jumping to conclusions, even if proven to be right later, does not help the situation. The priority must be those who have been caught up in this terrible act of violence.
