    RT now reporting an Islamic State verified twitter account has put up a picture of Mateen and claimed responsibility for the attack.

    That's certainly the most sickening thing alright.

    Hardly likely they had anything to do with it, it's going to be hard to for people to deal with the simple sensless reason why it happened.
    They've seen this before, I don't like Mondays.

    But do Christians go around stoning other Christians or beheading them as is normal in a significant amount of Muslim majority countries ?.

    No. They just deny LGBT people their rights and promote a culture of hate.

    There's Christians bombing abortion clinics and places where gay people congregate. The bible says a man who lies with another man like he lies with a woman should be put to death. A huge amount of the American congress and senate, mostly Christian voted against equal rights protection for LGBT people.

    Yes but christians generally don't take their book of hatred as literally as muslims take theirs. Thats why the majority of Christian majority nations have much more equality than the conservative hell hole majority muslim nations

    Neither are great options but Id take my chances in a conservative Christian country where I might have less rights than a muslim nation where Ill be publicly executed

    Rep Adam Schiff (D-FL) on CNN now saying the terrorist swore allegiance to ISIS.

    Riiiiiight.... Because not necessarily agreeing with homosexuality automatically means you want to see them beaten to within an inch of their lives, stoned and murdered..
    Jaysus it gets better every day....
    It is very much the case that these people will still happily let gays live and whatever. Remember tolerance?
    What they won't "tolerate" is their views that gays shouldn't live at all.

    Don't alienate those people. They'll fight harder for you than most. You couldn't be more wrong in thinking they're happy to let a culture that villifies everything outside of a burka, reap destruction upon more liberal sects of society just because they weren't instrumental in building it. Call it a "common enemy" if it's really your only way of wrapping your head around it.

    Absolutely. I agree. I wouldn't go to any Muslim country, I wouldn't feel safe. I wouldn't go to Russia either where most people are Christian, because I wouldn't feel safe.

    There are hundreds of Mulsim terrorist attacks for every Christian one: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents,_January–June_2016

    Every other year looks the same

    Don't forget the countless gay and christian people in muslim countries being killed everyday that arent even on the list, if they were killed in the west their deaths would be considered terrorist attacks

    Wow, what a heartless cow.

    With Russia routing Islamic state in Syria and the Iraqi national army routing them in Iraq the hornets nest is being poked and unfortunately these IS savages are going to turn up in Europe more and more over the next few months. I'd be fairly worried if I was a fan at the euros right now.

    Equally as sickening as watching people who are for equal marriage, and civil rights protection for LGBT people in the US (or anywhere in the West), defend a religion that has shown to be patently against those things.

    It is a new right that didn't exist before.
    I remember 1993 when homosexuality was rightly decriminalised.
    Most people grew up with marriage being something between the opposite sex and it is that way in most countries.
    People will get use to it and it won't be an issue in time. You are making it an issue in this thread.

    Id say chances of a terrorist attack with fatalities not occurring at the euros this year is very slim

    Who the hell cares? You're obsessed with politicians tweeting things, not healthy.

    LGBT people can be hard aswell. I would'nt like to see the other side of that coin.

    Jesus I hope nothing happens but a lot of security analysts are worried. The security at the match last night wouldn't fill you with confidence anyway.

    Yes, they are. Why you keep wondering when their PR teams send out a tweet of condolence is beyond me however.

    Absolutely. I condemn the vast majority of religions for their teachings.

    Have heard a few people say that. I wonder what's more likely, dying over there or in a pub in Ireland watching the match.

    If you call tweeting at 9am the middle of the night, her opponent whom she had being busy trolling on twitter, had tweeted hours earlier about it.
    I had said she was probably still asleep, she confirmed it...

    What for exactly? The shooting didn't begin until after 2 a.m and no one knew the full details until well after that. Could have been a gang shooting, could have been a robbery, why would Clinton's aides have woken her at 3 a.m to make her aware of something the Police hadn't even confirmation of until after that?

    Her response was posted just after 6 a.m - she was hardly sleeping in!

    When did Trump respond? Just after 1 p.m. Why is that poster not calling him out?

    Ridiculous anti-Clinton rubbish. No need for it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Typical lefty PC brigade response! Actually this will give the Isis lads another easy target in western countries the peace loving gay people going to clubs and pubs :-(

    Lol typical lefty jayus there getting worse

    Propaganda has really worked well on you, you've nothing to fear in most Muslim countries or Russia.
    Do you really believe your going to get attacked going to Russia?
