    I sometimes think that boards is becoming a voice for fat right sympathisers in Ireland. Twitter posts even indicate as such. Breitbart seems more balanced and less xenophobic than some boards threads

    Well this bad would be a serious threat:

    Recognise the city? Yeah, same place as today's incident, but carried out by real terrorists.

    Tomorrow, London will be back to normal as if nothing had happened, just like Paris, Berlin, Nice and Brussels.

    Which recent "terrorist" incident in Europe came anywhere close to this?

    That is one seriously awful post.

    this is the alleged terrorist, a mild mannered character by all accounts

    That was the London bombings which were designed to cause damage rather than death to make a political statement. As far as I recall one person died and this was a photographer who ignored advice to leave after a coded warning was given in advance.

    Still terrorism, and certainly can't be condoned, but not the same as the extremism we've seen since 2001 which seems aims at the most number of casualties possible.

    The IRA were responsible for many innocent lives lost. Just because this particular one didn't, it's no reason to hold the IRA up as some great fellas!

    In this day and age it's trivial to do that kind of thing.

    I don't understand why, if we're happy as societies to leave lads out of jail after 400 convictions, we can't at least keep an eye on them with that kind of thing.

    It's one thing tarring all brown people with the same brush. It's quite another when you have a known criminal who you've already dealt with once and is a known security risk.

    I mean **** it - part of their probation could be keeping them away from crowded areas, not owning cars or whatever and it's not like it'd even take manpower. An algorithm could handle it.

    But this is a thread specifically about an attack by an English man from a Jamaican heritage. I mean either you are calling Jamaican's violent or I fail to see the relevance .

    Are you trying to pretend the actual common denominator here isn't Islam? More specifically Chowdry's pernicious influence? That's the person who should never have been allowed through the door.

    Yeah, it's like Stormfront 2.O; The hate speech in this thread is terrifying.

    Quite the opposite I would have thought, the amount of blatent Islamic terrorism sympathisers is worrying.

    Roman Catholic? They have the most terrorist attacks on the British soil. Buts it's wholly unfair to blame all Roman Catholics, the overwhelming majority peaceful

    The attacks were not done in the name of Catholics where as these terrorists do the attacks in the name of Allah


  • Posts: 26,920 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The IRA are likely accountable for more deaths in Britain & Ireland than Muslim Extremist attacks in Europe & America. Should all Irish people not be banned from travelling, locked up, or murdered because of the actions of a few?

    Nope, because that would be silly.

    I seem to remember that problem was also the product of the mass resettlement of a bunch of religious fundamentalists too....

    If christian terror groups shouted something along the lines of 'praise jesus christ' before carrying out a massacre we would most certainly associate it with christianity

    Would you call for a ban of Christians? Or is that just incredibly stupid?

    You'd have a point if ideology and nationality were the same thing.

    If I recall they were initially invited. USA was settled by religious extremists who left Britian because they weren't allowed practice their fundamentalist beliefs

    No one is blaming all Catholics or Muslims. Typical strawman. And judging by the fact an overwhelming majority of Muslims in each individual Muslim country supports Sharia law, I have to disagree with your implied claim that the majority of Muslims are "peaceful".

    Strawmanning again I see.
    I think everybody here capable of rational thought knows that not all immigrants have the same issues with integration and thus not all immigrant groups are equal, some integrate, others, hampered by a religion that is supremacist, despises miscegenation more than the KKK, share few social contact points with other cultures and has a violent streak a mile wide don't. Best not importing them in the first place.

    Eh no, I'm not strawmanning anything at all. You're the one banging on about importing unintegrated people when it transpires that the attacker was in fact Jamaican, therefore it isn't a strawman to question whether we should start casting West Indians as unintegratable dangerous people.

    As I said in an earlier post, Islam and those who practice it are now an inherent part of the UK's makeup. The majority of Muslims were born here and raised here and are British as anyone - Islam isn't something that can be extricated from British society unless you want to start rounding up British citizens.

    What is this based on? Have the majority of muslims committed and support terrorism?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,820 ✭✭✭smelly sock


    Shockingly sad.

    Whilst it might seem selfish at this stage it's really close to home.

    How vulnerable are we?

    Little kids voices in the background of that video. Terrifying what's going on in some of these mosques.

    I wasn't talking about all IRA attacks. I was talking about that attack. And I'm sorry, you must have missed this part of the post:

    How did the attacker get close enough to an armed policeman to stab him to death?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    No bother. So in the name of tolerance and liberalism you're going to ban people worshipping is it? Gas man.

    Islam isn't a building by the way.
