    What's immigration got to do with it? He's English.

    They rescued one of their own citizens from a warzone, and you're blaming immigration for his subsequent acts?

    Leaving the immigration factor aside for a moment, the fact he was rescued from a war zone by the British and went on to commit such a heinous act on British soil is absolute treason and betrayal. Sickening.

    Showing quite a bit of bloodlust yourself there, you just have different reasons that go with the crowd.

    Well he did kill near two dozen people, including innocent kids. Don't think too many would be all that sympathetic to or full of well wishes for the aul' bomber there but ya never know.

    Is torture legal in the UK, had he lived somehow? Used a suitcase instead?

    Or is torture okay in made-up places?

    So - "bloodlust" - where it is wishing someone who murdered 22 innocent people including a wee 8 year old girl for nothing more than boogieing at a concert a lifetime of pain in Hell (which I believe exists but may or may not actually).

    That is bad ?

    But "bloodlust" of a kid who decided to commit said murder of 22 innocent people including a wee 8 year old girl for nothing more than boogieing at a concert.

    That is alright ?

    There are some deepy disturbed points of view and that just cracked the top 3.

    Nice appeal to emotion there.

    Omackerel - at the time I was called "a monster" for saying that I hoped the authorities caught up with the brother/accomplice and that he made a run for it.

    The same person forwarded my FB post to their friend list apologising on my behalf "to the 99.99% of decent British Muslims".

    I replied not to bother and that his figures were skewed. We no longer talk.

    Yeah I get emotional when I see people blown up at a venue I've seen 20+ gigs at. It's clearly a character flaw to feel emotion at a kid's life ending at 8.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Funny how some people can justify the callous slaughter of children when it suits their own hateful agenda and deplore it when it doesn't.

    All terrorists are scum, as are all those who support them.

    He got to signal his 'virtue' to others, and that is all that matters.

    Please go away.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 482 ✭✭badtoro


    Can't say I'd have any sympathy for him. The only thing that would give me pause is insuring his guilt, think Birmingham 6 etc. Not making any case for innocence here at all, it's just the only thing that stops me saying throw him to the dogs tbh. There's no case for calling a music concert any sort of legitimate target with no warning bombing. Honestly the people that do such things can't suffer enough.

    Posting this to stimulate discourse on the topic of immigration ...Quite the 'elephant in the room' around these parts I know.

    I can see what you're doing, but as a genuine thread on immigration was closed by one particular moderator for not being jolly enough for After Hours I certainly won't be wasting my time contributing to the discussion.

    Sorry, but he deliberately aimed his atrack at innocent kids. He may have been technically British but his loyalty lay elsewhere. He only wished harm to the country which had generously (foolishly) taken in his family. There's no accounting for gratitude.

    If we're going by eligibility for a passport and birthplace, I am "technically" British. I have travelled on an Irish passport for decades and lives her and paid taxes for similar.

    I have zero love for Britain. I was not brought up British and have no loyalty to them.

    Clearly I would never do what he did - but had Britain saved me and my family I would perhaps think differently on the loyalty front.

    Alright, let's establish something.

    All terrorists are absolute scum and deserve the worst possible punishments. But, this has nothing to do with immigration. This disgusting ****wad was English and a traitor.

    To be fair one person said he hoped he was burning in hell. I don't believe in God but I'm assuming that if I'm wrong he won't make a mistake.

    As for the death penalty/torture I agree with you. There have been so many people in the US who were exonerated. So although I can understand why someone wants someone who commits a horrible crime like that to be tortured I disagree with that too. Even if we are 100% certain of their guilt.

    I think it was the whole apologising on somebody else's behalf arrogance that irked me about that scenario. It struck me as high-horse stuff to address ALL British muslims about it and screamed look at me I'm a good person = virtue signalling because did nothing concrete to fix anybody's situation or stop anybody being tortured, and merely sought to portray themselves in a certain light.

    If anything it does shine a light on the second generation - the children of immigrants. Does their parents' unwillingness to integrate contribute ? Were not the majority of Jihadists since (and including) 7/7 born in the UK ?

    Perhaps a question for another thread but certainly I think it worth asking at some point.

    I certainly was not apologising on someone else's behalf.

    "All British muslims"? What are you going on about there?

    I don't think I'm a particularly good person but I can see torture is bad.

    Do you think a random poster in Ireland is going to stop anyone being tortured in the UK?

    Get real.

    Get real indeed. Nobody was talking about actual real torture. They were talking about being tortured in hell. A phrase, more than anything, reserved for scumdogs.

    Yeah and you made a point of saying someone advocated actual torture. You were corrected on it. Other people are allowed to engage in the discussion. Your response to that was to be sarky. Doesn't sound like forums are for you.

    Well (if I am actually allowed to talk to you Omackerel without benefit of chaperone!!) - that particular poster openly told me to "go away" earlier.

    I suspect AH may not be a good fit.

    Lack of gratitude or loyalty are the absolute least of his crimes, tbh. Whether Britain saved him and his family, treated them alright or displaced and systematically tortured them all, one by one, is neither here nor there.

    Yes, he was a bad guy. That's fair enough.

    And his supporters think he is living it up in heaven.

    Might be an idea to just drop all this religious talk altogether.

    Think you'll find Henry VIII did that about 400 years before.
