How many more times are we going to witness this impotent display of unity when our people are dead and injured for no other reason than some lunatic has extinguished their lives as they don't believe or live as they do ! The time is now to take an appropriate response, not wait until the next batch of candles are burning and the hashtags are trending ! Those who are known to be a threat to our society, and somehow the perpetrator always seems to be known to the security services, should be rounded up and imprisoned and if not our home grown lunatics expelled straightaway. Of course this is extreme but it is not as extreme as blowing someones child to bits with nails and ball bearings ! I am now listening to adagio for strings a fitting epitaph for the UK and its civilisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted May 23, 2017 Author Share Posted May 23, 2017 Once ISIS is defeated in Mosul or where ever, what then? We are fighting not just a bunch of murderous, mental incompetents but an ideology which permeates those who believe that the world needs scouring of all who will not accept their beliefs. This can go on for years and years unless we can rid the world of religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, i googled it. It's a nice touch twinkle but i'm not sure how you donating to an indian airport weather forecasting service is going to help anyone here. Still, well done all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been a load of kids filming on their iphones in this area. (1/365) x (1/odds of a terrorist attack) = highly unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently in the Bible the number 22, which is double eleven (which symbolizes disorder and chaos), can represent a concentration of disorganization.

guzzi Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 The UK Threat Level from International Terrorism has been raised to 'Critical', which implies that another attack may be imminent. Military personnel will now be deployed to key sites, under the command of police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got out with seconds to spare , others were not as fortunate. I did and do not hold ALL the Irish or the catholics responsible, just those who supported terrorism as well as the actual perpetrators . Sadly some of those who were responsible went on to be regarded as "statesmen" Just saying I too did a stint in Londonderry in the mid seventies. I was shot at on one occasion. I knew it was not your average Irishman or woman just the few murdering terrorists. The same can be said about daesh. Unfortunately history is again repeating itself where the majority is standing by and letting the minority murder innocents to achieve their goals. "The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing" has never been truer today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you brought up the possible significance of '22' in the bible, and just for balance, from the rather influential Koran... "... And for [striking] them are maces of iron." Sahih International 22:21. "... So I prolonged the enjoyment for the disbelievers: then I seized them, and how [terrible] was my reproach." Surah Al-Haj [22] - Al-Qur'an al-Kareem. And there are many more justifications for violence against the "disbelievers" and various punishments to be meted out thereof. Just as there are in the bible, of course. But who reads the bible these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as there are in the bible, of course. But who reads the bible these days? Good points. However I'd assume that they would use dates with implied significance to Christians rather than the other way round as they are the perps? But there does seem to be some significance around the 22nd as a date even if anecdotally. Unless it's a terrorists pay day at the end of the month? I see the UK is sadly now on near lock down with 5,000 troops on the streets as they reckon there's maybe a cell associated with this one that got away. The whole thing is really tragic. The way events are just unraveling are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 We should also mention the wonderful response from all the communities of Manchester to this awful event. They came together and proved what a great city it is. That's a powerful message right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Couldn't agree more, SMUJ. It is not unreasonable to assume that most muslims will be repulsed by this latest atrocity. A shared outrage can be a positive thing for community relations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
