    You (in the plural) do seem like types that would be comfortable on the website (that shall not be named without an * being inserted as the owner of boards.ie really doesn't like their name cropping up in a google search of boards).

    And there you go again. I'll leave you to it my friend.

    Again, who were the Swedes bombing?

    The West is just that to Islamic fanatics, They dont really differentiate that carefully. Any attack in Europe , has the effect , so they seek out weakness or just that we get random attacks from radicalised individuals

    But collectively we need to resolve whats happening in the ME, which has largely given rise to radical Islam and the fact that it blames the " west " for everything

    Another one that has forgotten

    So America never invaded and killed thousands of Muslims in the middle east before 2001? Theyve been intervening in the region since the 1950s.

    If you won't put your money where your mouth is you can stop ramming your notion that he might not be Muslim down everybody's throats..Apart from anything else it's quite tiresome

    What in the f*ck is antifa? And what in the f*ck does this have to do with saying what news articles are saying?

    Seriously, why aren't you just writing them strongly worded letters, since you appear to care enough to bet a grand ...

    They are not but neither are the left today. In much of Europe the left seem to be even further removed from working class concerns and realities than the right are.

    It seems to me that left wing politics is dying in Working Class communities across Europe and polls bear that out.

    This is a great pity when you consider the great record of achievement that the Left have given Europe.

    Self inflicted

    no indication that the " middle classes " are dominating the left either

    Plenty of indication that the middle classes are more or less exactly where they always are, ... in the middle .....

    Indeed. Its no coincidence radical Islam has gained more recruits since the illegal invasion of Iraq. Islamic terror attacks was unheard of in Europe before the invasion. Was the London bombings in 2007 the first ever terror attack in the history of the British state by Islamic nutjobs?

    Who did they invade in the middle East before 2001?

    The only one I can think of is Iraq in 1991 in response to Iraq invading Kuwait.

    They flew planes into the twin towers because of a handful of airbases in Saudi Arabia. They started it.

    Now your catching on. You see until the west realises the immoral principle of arming your enenies enemy will come back to bite you on the arse. They armed Saddam Hussein to take on the Iranians and look what he done. Not only invaded his neighbours he gassed thousands of Kurds with chemicalsm weapons supplied by the Germans.

    They played all sorts of games in Iran, and armed the mooj pretty damn well.

    The "left" and "Labour/Socialists" died when they stopped caring for the working classes. To me, now, "Left wing" parties represent University graduates who wouldn't know their USC from their elbows. They're more about transgender than they are about transport. When they ditched the "reality", they embraced the "show". Asking a left winger for their views on immigration is like asking a Lap dancer for their views on nuclear physics. They don't know, but it sounds cool.

    Youve some on here that would actually go as far as internment. How stupid can some people be honestly. Look what internment did up in the north, IRA recruits multiplied over night.

    The Americans have learned absolutely zero it seems too. Cominv out earlier on with more aggressive rhetoric towards Iran this time. We really have some stupid or evil people in positions of power and in the mianstream media.

    In the space of just over four weeks Europe has had 4 terrorist attacks.

    Westminster, Uk.
    Stockholm, Sweden.
    Borussia Dortmund, Germany.
    Paris, France.

    This is the reality now for Europe. Well done Merkel and Co.

    Unfortunately this has nothing to do with previous overseas campaigns but more to do with the % of muslims in a given area.

    This might explain:
    STAGE 1: INFILTRATION
    Muslims begin moving to non-Muslim countries in increasing numbers and the beginning of cultural conflicts are visible, though often subtle.
    • First migration wave to non-Muslim “host” country.
    • Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the host society.
    • Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful & Muslims as victims of misunderstanding and racism (even though Islam is not a ‘race’).
    • High Muslim birth rate in host country increase Muslim population.
    • Mosques used to spread Islam and dislike of host country & culture.
    • Calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime.
    • Threatened legal action for perceived discrimination.
    • Offers of “interfaith dialogue” to indoctrinate non-Muslims.
    How many nations are suffering from Islamic infiltration? One? A handful? Nearly every nation? The Islamic ‘leadership” of the Muslim Brotherhood and others wish to dissolve each nation’s sovereignty and replace it with the global imposition of Islamic sharia law. Sharia law, based on the koran, sira and hadith, condemns liberty and forbids equality and is inconsistent with the laws of all Western nations. As the author and historian Serge Trifkovic states:
    “The refusal of the Western elite class to protect their nations from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in history.”
    STAGE 2: CONSOLIDATION OF POWER
    Muslim immigrants and host country converts continue demands for accommodation in employment, education, social services, financing and courts.
    • Proselytizing increases; Establishment and Recruitment of Jihadi cells.
    • Efforts to convert alienated segments of the population to Islam.
    • Revisionist efforts to Islamize history.
    • Efforts to destroy historic evidence that reveal true Islamism.
    • Increased anti-western propaganda and psychological warfare.
    • Efforts to recruit allies who share similar goals (communists, anarchists).
    • Attempts to indoctrinate children to Islamist viewpoint.
    • Increased efforts to intimidate, silence and eliminate non-Muslims.
    • Efforts to introduce blasphemy and hate laws in order to silence critics.
    • Continued focus on enlarging Muslim population by increasing Muslim births and immigration.
    • Use of charities to recruit supporters and fund jihad.
    • Covert efforts to bring about the destruction of host society from within.
    • Development of Muslim political base in non-Muslim host society.
    • Islamic Financial networks fund political growth, acquisition of land.
    • Highly visible assassination of critics aimed to intimidate opposition.
    • Tolerance of non-Muslims diminishes.
    • Greater demands to adopt strict Islamic conduct.
    • Clandestine amassing of weapons and explosives in hidden locations.
    • Overt disregard/rejection of non-Muslim society’s legal system, culture.
    • Efforts to undermine and destroy power base of non-Muslim religions including and especially Jews and Christians.
    Is there a pattern here? Theo van Gogh is murdered in the Netherlands for ‘insulting’ Islam; the Organization of the Islamic Conference demands ‘anti-blasphemy’ laws through the United Nations; France is set afire regularly by ‘youths’ (read Muslims); the rise of (dis-) honor killings…holocaust denial…anti-Semitism…deception re the tenets of Islam; hatred toward Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists. The pattern for all to see is the rise of Islamic intolerance and the covert/cultural jihad to remake host societies into sharia-compliant worlds – to remove host sovereignty and replace it with Islamic sharia law. Sharia law that condemns earthly liberty and individual freedom, that forbids equality among faiths and between the sexes, that rejects the concept of nations outside the global house of Islam, that of dar al-Islam.
    STAGE 3: OPEN WAR w/ LEADERSHIP & CULTURE
    Open violence to impose Sharia law and associated cultural restrictions; rejection of host government, subjugation of other religions and customs.
    • Intentional efforts to undermine the host government & culture.
    • Acts of barbarity to intimidate citizens and foster fear and submission.
    • Open and covert efforts to cause economic collapse of the society.
    • All opposition is challenged and either eradicated or silenced.
    • Mass execution of non-Muslims.
    • Widespread ethnic cleansing by Islamic militias.
    • Rejection and defiance of host society secular laws or culture.
    • Murder of “moderate” Muslim intellectuals who don’t support Islamization.
    • Destruction of churches, synagogues and other non-Muslim institutions.
    • Women are restricted further in accordance with Sharia law.
    • Large-scale destruction of population, assassinations, bombings.
    • Toppling of government and usurpation of political power.
    • Imposition of Sharia law
    The website www.thereligionofpeace.com keeps track of the number of violent jihad attacks as best it can. The site lists more than 14,000 attacks since September 2001. It is worth a visit. What is occurring, however, that is likely inestimable are events where muslims are bullied by other muslims for not being “muslim enough,” where non-Muslims are intimidated into doing or not doing what they desire, where remnant populations are in a death spiral simply for being non-muslim in a predominantly muslim area. Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists Animists and Atheists meet with death, property destruction or confiscation, forced conversion, rape, excessive taxation (the jizya), enslavement, riotous mobs and various other forms of islam (in-) justice at the hands of muslims in Sudan, Philippines, Kenya, Malaysia, India, etc. And let us not forget ‘death to Apostates’ the world over.
    STAGE 4: Totalitarian ISLAMIC “THEOCRACY”
    Islam becomes the only religious-political-judicial-cultural ideology.
    • Sharia becomes the “law of the land.
    • All non-Islamic human rights cancelled.
    • Enslavement and genocide of non-Muslim population.
    • Freedom of speech and the press eradicated.
    • All religions other than Islam are forbidden and destroyed.
    • Destruction of all evidence of non-Muslim culture, populations and symbols in country (Buddhas, houses of worship, art, etc).
    The House of Islam (“peace”), dar al-Islam, includes those nations that have submitted to Islamic rule, to the soul crushing, liberty-condemning, discriminatory law of Sharia. The rest of the world in in the House of War, dar al-harb, because it does not submit to Sharia, and exists in a state of rebellion or war with the will of ‘Allah.’ No non-Muslim state or its citizens are “innocent,” and remain viable targets of war for not believing in ‘Allah.’ The Christian, Jewish, Coptic, Hindu and Zoroastrian peoples of world have suffered under subjugation for centuries. The Dhimmi-esque are forbidden to construct houses of worship or repair existing ones, economically crippled by the heavy jizya (tax), socially humiliated, legally discriminated against, criminally targeted and generally kept in a permanent state of weakness, fear and vulnerability by Islamic governments.
    It should be noted that forced conversions (Egypt) and slavery (Sudan) are still reported. Homosexuals have been hung in the public square in Iran. Young girls are married to old men. Apostates are threatened with death. “Honor” killings are routine. Women are legally second-class citizens, though Muslim males insist they are “treated better” than in the West. These more obvious manifestations may distract from some less obvious ones such as the lack of intellectual inquiry in science, narrow scope of writing, all but non-existent art and music, sexual use and abuse of youth and women, and the disregard for personal fulfillment, joy and wonder. Look into the eyes of a recently married 12 year old girl to see the consequence of the moral deprivation spawned by Islam.
