    What would you suggest?

    2 of the top 4 worst terrorist attacks in this decade in Europe have been committed by white men. That's just a fact.

    Anders Breivik meticulously planned and massacred 77 people, targeting children at a youth camp and gave Neo-Nazi salutes at his trial. Andreas Lubitz meticulously planned and killed 149 people by flying the plane into a mountain. Reasons apparently unknown.

    Lubitz act of terrorism was the single worst in Europe in the decade.

    The excuses made for these 2 men reflect the fact that people only see "terrorism" when it's done by brown people who speak another language or follow another culture.

    If it's just a regular old European white person, then they were "troubled", "disaffected", "sick".

    In the aftermath of the Germanwings crash, almost all media attention was focused on Lubitz state of mind. Not one publication is pondering whether Salman Abedi suffering from depression or mental illness. Why? Why should it matter what Lubitz state of mind was and not what Abedi's was?

    If the roles were reversed we'd be seeing Abedi immediately declared a terrorist and not one iota of thought given to whether he suffered from a mental illness or not before crashing the plane. We'd be seeing the same focus on Lubitz state of mind when seeking to explain why he killed kids at a concert.

    People want to bash Islam because it's a soft target. It's much more difficult to address why white people shoot up schools, crash planes, plant bombs and massacre people. We don't have a neat and tidy thing to blame.

    The bottom line is whether someone uses a religious excuse or no excuse at all, there will always and HAS ALWAYS been lunatics willing to die and massacre other humans in the process.

    Deporting Muslims, locking them up, persecuting them, internment ....none of that will prevent future terrorist mass-murder by people whether they are white or brown.

    But the most consistent terrorist attacks have been caused by Muslims. Did you know over 12 attacks were foiled last year in the UK?
    Over 20 attacks foiled in France. Yes white people have done bad things but we will see a hell of a lot more done by Muslims

    Those are the rights that are supposed to separate "us" from "them".

    If we abandon those rights and start locking innocent people up without trial then they've succeeded in their aim of changing our culture.

    Anyway, humour us with your ever-so-simple solution to stopping terrorism of all kinds?

    Nope.

    Check out the Europol stats.

    The majority of terrorist related incidents in Europe over the past 15 years has been non-Islamic.

    That's great that they foiled 12 attacks. I'm sure they foil plenty of right-wing extremist plots too, just like in Germany a few weeks ago when they arrested that lunatic planning mass murder.

    Radical Islamic attacks just get more press coverage. Anders Breivik was a white neo-nazi who massacred children. Wrong skin colour and wrong religion to be labeled a terrorist and no easy target for the media to go after. He was simply labeled "disturbed" and "sick".

    I'm at the stage now where I believe the people who carry out these attacks are doing the bidding of Satan. Pure evil.

    Which one was that.

    Morrissey, unfortunately, is in that sad category of 'if only they'd died sooner'.

    His rambling nonsense post is both completely un-self-aware and painfully simplistic.

    Give it a rest Morrissey, stick to playing the thirty minute chicken slaughtering videos at your concerts.

    if it was easy to stop then it would be. nothing to do with "do gooders rabel rabel"

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    LoL

    I guess you'll be saying that the next time he uses his concerts to 'virtue signal' about vegetarianism...

    Hilarious.

    Look Morrissey has always been an attention seeking contrarian. That he has devolved now to righty-whinging should be no surprise to anyone.

    It is sad in my view that he has continued on and is making a fool of himself.

    I get it. You don't like Islam and brown people. Boo-hoo. Newsflash white people do all of the above too.

    The amount of Eastern European white gangs involved in human trafficking, child grooming, assaults is off the charts too.

    This constant search to demonize a religion and ignore "your own" doing the same thing is ridiculous.

    Personally I think Islam is a load of nonsense, just like all the other major religions. I don't think Jesus had superpowers or whatever the hell we're taught to believe in church growing up either.

    What a load of horsecrap! Typical of the left oh but white Europeans males are a lot worse then what the radical Muslims have done! I really count care less about hurting Muslims feelings a lot of Muslims know what these guys are planning or have suspicions but do nothing about it! Btw the mental illness lone wolf line is thrown around a lot by the left when it comes to these Islamic scumbags! As i said last night and many more agree time to start internment of everyone on European watch lists. How many more times are we going to have these carried out by Muslims who were known to Police!

    Is it?
    On the same scale as in the UK?
    I doubt it.
    Did you find out who the white German was who was foiled in a mass murder attempt?

    Plenty of posts on boards demonizing the Catholic Church so where do you get off calling people racist?
    Maybe if it was your child you might have a different opinion! Cop yourself on!

    But if he came out with the 'correct' response of 'they will not divide us, not all Muslims, no walls, no borders' you wouldn't be wishing he died, correct?

    Yep that would be a start, another would be deportations for all family members of a terrorist, if they are British the they all do jail time. Might seem harsh but would give these terrorists something to think about

    no it wouldn't. it would fail like every other single nonsense proposal that operates on discriminatory grounds.
    it would also be a breach of plenty of laws and quite frankly, those of us who believe in democracy and the rule of law wouldn't tolerate it either. discrimination never works.

    Internment of innocent people.

    Gotcha.

    Good plan. It'll end well. Has always ended well.

    Idiocy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,128 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Awful as were the murders committed by Brevik and Lubitz, to me they were the epitome of "Lone Wolves".

    Islamic terrorism on the other hand is most certainly not comprised of Lone Wolves, much as the media want it to be that way.

    That is not taking away from the horror of the murders committed by the two mad mentioned above.

    Which part was nonsense exactly? To me it seems an accurate and to the point statement, barbarism does begin at home it seems.
