    It's make no difference what you or I believe in. The scum we're dealing with obviously take their religion seriously so if you can instill the fear in them that they won't go to heaven, then why not?

    Yes it bloody well does!!! For the record, I do not believe in any heaven.

    I asked you this;
    So you don't believe in their heaven but you want to convince the "scumbags" that they will never get to their heaven if they martyr
    themselves because people are going to prevent it somehow by desecrating their bodies in a certain fashion.
    Have I got it?

    You said I was spot on.

    So that means you do not believe in their heaven. The heaven of 1.6 billion muslims.

    Now....do you believe in your heaven?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 735 ✭✭✭Moo Moo Land


    I believe in some kind of afterlife but what does my belief have to do with it?

    Why did you deny the existence of their heaven?

    See above. I underlined it.

    What has my beliefs got to do with anything? My only concern is preventing future terrorist attacks. After all whats the point being a martyr if you won't go to heaven?

    These people are mass murdering maniacs if they want to die so bad let them and it is for the state authorities to reduce the harm to the rest of society. Their act is a demonstration for others to follow them and cause division among all religions. They intend to turn brother against brother, Sister against sister and family against family the live on the margins of society and it is best if they are executed by the state. An attack on one citizen is an attack on all citizens they enemies that must be eliminated one by one.

    I'm not a Muslim, makes no difference to me what they believe in. But if a Jihadi scumbag decides not to kill a bunch of people because he's afraid something might be done to his corpse then that would be worth it.

    Answer the question.

    You have the arrogance to say you don't believe in the muslim heaven but I think you believe in the Christian heaven. That's very interesting.

    I hope you find your makey-uppy-muslim-heaven-rejection-process-override and roll it out to all nations.

    I have no idea why you are getting upset. And I've no idea why you are so interested in my beliefs, perhaps you could explain why?

    As I told you a few times now it doesn't matter what you or I believe in.

    Also, why am I, a non-Muslim, arrogant for not believing in a Muslim version of heaven? How does that work?

    I was thinking, is there a way to desecrate Muslim corpses so they won't get into heaven? Maybe pour pigs blood over them?

    There might be a lot less attacks if Jihadists knew this was going to happen.




    You probably haven't thought this through.

    If you don't believe in the Muslim heaven then what difference is the pig's blood gonna make?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    Did what?

    Buried the corpses of suicide jihadists with pigs.

    None to me but it makes a huge difference to the fanatic who believes dying for ISIS will bring him to his eternal reward. Not sure why there is confusion over this tbh.

    Not to be entirely pedantic here, but the Muslim, Jewish and Christian heaven is basically the same one, just different interpretations on it. Being as it's the same god, just different interpretations of the whole canoozle.

    And I say this as an agnostic-to-atheist-leaning type.

    Also, it really doesn't matter what HE believes, it's the belief of the guy willing to die to get into jihad-level heaven that matters in this particular debate.

    I don't think that desecrating the corpses is a particularly good idea. It MAY stop an occasional lone nut from carrying out an attack, OR they might decide that they should all just go for the tried and tested blowing-themselves-up approach, given that leaves rather little to desecrate and it will certainly piss off other people, some of whom might be tipped over the edge into actively partaking in a bit of mayhem in revenge.

    Persians are a great people,they're definitely more progressive than the head chopping wahabbis.

    Persians human rights my not be on the same level with ours,but I'd rather be in Iran than Saudi.

    Shia Islam is more mystical and tolerant of other religions than the Sunnis.

    There's lots of Jew's and Christians living in Persia (Iran)
    They're people of the book.

    Do you cream yourself about the Persians even when they're shouting "Death to America", "Death to the Jews," like they do every Friday.

    I have heard that one. Wrongly attributed to General Pershing in the Philippines.

    US Soldiers took 50 terrorists, made them dig their own graves. Tied them up onto stakes. Took out pigs, slaughtered the pigs, dipped their bullets in pigs blood and shot 49 of the terrorists.

    Buried the terrorists in a mass grave and covered the corpses in pigs blood and guts. Released the remaining terrorist and the legend goes that there were no more terrorist attacks for 50 or so years in the Philippines.

    That approach assumes that all Muslims belong to the same sect of Islam and assumes some radical Imam does not just turn around and say..."You know what boys, since the Infidel will do this to you, Allah will forgive you because you proved your faith to him by committing atrocity X against the Infidel."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,633 ✭✭✭✭Widdershins


    I think the whole thing is a nonsense, the heaven, the virgins etc

    But I am not going to somehow validate their belief by looking for some process or override switch to prevent it. That's nuts.

    I don't think they would be further motivated if they thought whoever undertook this hypothetical symbolic action actually believed in the suicide bombers paradise. I think it could be made quite clear .

    It's not validation of their belief . They already know that everyone knows what they believe, and making some kind of symbolic gesture that would, to their mind, interfere with their perceived progression after death isn't a statement of belief .

    Psychological tactics could be very effective at a time when only a defensive strategy is possible and traditional warfare isn't possible and there's no course of military action that can be taken , as with two armies on a battlefield .

    I'm not aware of anything that would fit the bill, though . I have no intention of reading the link about pig-blood bullets so I will make a guess . It was something someone did out of malice instead of a prophylactic warning/deterrent/disincentive ?

    Well you can't tarnish them all with the same brush.

    Are you sitting there eating your crunchie bar every Friday listening to Islamic prayer's ?

    Do ya sing rebel songs do ya?

    Come out you black and tans we'll fight you like a man......

    Yeah but I would like to change the martyrdom mindset pre-mortem.

    Desecrating bodies as a solution...I know we're brainstorming but wow.

    The thing is education or reform is going to take time and we also need a strategy for the immediate threats .

    Bombing them back to the stoneage has so far failed ,
    Occupation of their lands or countries so far failed ,
    Detaining them without trial has so far failed

    Only thing that's currently working is mass hysteria in the media ,

    Jeez. It's about tackling isis. i will not get into that again as others already have . italy have a very successful anti terrorism policy already . use the italian model. listen to muslim reformists . etc ect........

    but dealing with it in the short term is another question .

    and i don't see mass hysteria . maybe you should stop reading the mail.

    Muslim population of Ireland to increase to 100,000 in the next 4 years and Ireland's population is currently around 6 million
    If so, I'd like to know who exactly will be funding the mosques.

    have we blamed ourselves for non-integration? if we have that's news to me. i certainly haven't blamed myself, as i'm not to blame for someone else.

    Yes there are people in Europe who are claiming that the fault of non integration is down to the native populations.
    They haven't been accommodating enough according to some.
    BTW you damn well know it so stop feigning ignorance.
    can't be done, human rights are human rights and are equal.

    You just don't get it.
    Did the Americans consider the human rights of Japanese citizens the same as the human rights of non Japanese citizens during WWII ?

    putting laws asside is terrorism and extremism so any attempt to do it must be faught against. human rights and freedom are more important then non protection from the government.

    Putting laws aside has been done by major democracies at various times of emergency.
    The human right and freedom to be slaughtered must be protected at all times. :rolleyes:
    well you should care. if you want to sign away your freedoms and human rights, that's fine. but do it somewhere else. i'm sure more and more gullible are starting to have your point of view, but rightly they will be scoffed at. freedom tolerence and democracy will win over extremism whether it be far right, far left, or religious. you and your views won't win. extremists won't win.

    So basically you are saying I am extremist because I want ISIS members, ISIS supporters and ISIS associates locked up ?
    Would you have considered people in Ireland extremists when they wanted PIRA, INLA members locked up ?

    And because I want uncontrolled migration from muslim world stopped I am extremist.
    Jaysus then most of Australia must be extremist as well.

    None to me but it makes a huge difference to the fanatic who believes dying for ISIS will bring him to his eternal reward. Not sure why there is confusion over this tbh.

    Listen it is the usual shyteology engaged in by some, claiming ignorance of what you are saying.
    It is like the usual trend of demanding stats, verifiable links for poll assertions or population breakdowns.
    Then when they are given the next step is to question the source and if the source is not seen as a right wing (Breitbard, Jihadi watch, Daily whatever, etc), the actual methodology is then questioned.

    Oh and the other thing the same posters do is use offical figures (ala UN, Europol) to claim such things as non muslim terrorism/crime is much worse because there are far greater number of non muslim crimes/attacks or would be attacks.
    They usually neglect to actually show the number of crimes per capita and they definitely neglect to show the number of deaths/serious casualties for the terrorist attacks over the last 15 years.
    They usually try and break it down to the last 40 years to make it less obvious.

    It is cherry picking to suit the argument.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    I know it's supposedly the same heaven & God and was trying to tease that out a bit.

    The desecration idea is ridiculous and would only make things worse. I wonder how they would deal with suicide bombers where there is no body to desecrate.

    I'll tell you one thing, our religious ethos schools need be teaching children about all religions, not just indoctrinating in the local one.

    There's numerous references to the americans using these variations. I suppose the thing is..if it puts doubt in the mind of jimmy suicider about his eternal reward then he is less likely to be offering himself up, regardless of what any imam says

    Irish Secondary schools teach all world religions. It's a basic theology and sociology course.
