    "Since 1974, Ahmadis have been declared "non-Muslim" under Pakistani law, after a constitutional amendment was passed under the government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto."

    "The law imposes three-year jail terms on Ahmadis "who directly or indirectly, poses himself as a Muslim, or calls, or refers to, his faith as Islam, or preaches or propagates his faith, or invites others to accept his faith, by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations, or in any manner whatsoever outrages the religious feelings of Muslims"."

    So, Saudi and Qatari funding of Wahhabist and Salafist Islam has a negligible impact?

    It's one thing opposing Western foreign policy, quite another to hack innocent people on the streets in the hope of going to heaven. That link can only be made by extremist preachers and the above funding. It's the latter we need to condemn. Let's not get so masochistic and blame ourselves for the world's problems.

    I'm not blaming ourselves, I'm blaming Britain/America. The people who are attacking innocents are disgusting lowlifes, we can't ignore the reason for their existence though!

    I assume you don't idolise any particular country.

    While I do not normally like to use Wikipedia it does have a list of countries.

    It's emerged that one of the attackers was resident here for a period.

    We can talk about the history of Christianity as well but it has nothing to do with this modern situation. The fact is that if the West had not flattened many Middle Eastern countries for the past century then these groups like Isis would be minuscule and very easy to control.

    So why are they not shouting this is for Syria rather than Allahau Akbar?
    Honestly I think your just trolling at this stage

    We're are liberal, PC joke of a country and I worry about
    our future security. One of the attackers from Saturday
    spent time in Ireland recently no doubt planning
    terrorism related as Scotland yard are investigating it.

    The concern is now that he has been identified, the possibility of attacks by acquaintances as the police net closes in. That scares the **** out of me.

    Anyone just hear that on sky news "That Ireland and Finland have the highest % of Muslim's going to jihad"
    That is absolutely shocking I'm not surprised really it's quite obvious they see Ireland as an easy target because we're an absolute joke.

    Go easy on the self loathing.

    When the terrorists in London shouted this is for allah while hacking innocent people to death does that not make you think they were doing this more so in the name of god than anything else? Would they not have shouted this is for syria (insert other bombed country) while carrying out the attack if it was for the reasons you suggest?

    I haven't said that these murderers aren't brainwashed by the preachers etc who feed them these fantasies about religion. I'm saying that no one can be radicalised without the bombing campaigns. It simply would not happen and these extreme groups would be tiny and irrelevant.

    Ah sorry I just figured because you are so big on Islam you'd naturally love states controlled by it. You must be tempted to move to the middle east though all the same.

    So the west killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Muslims has nothing at all to do with radicalised Muslims attacking? innocent westerners?

    FYP - interesting selective use of the word "innocent".
    there's almost a suggestion in your anti Brit bile these people had it coming.

    if the perps were family members of Iraqis, Syrians or Yemeni families wiped out in drone strikes, and were out for vengeance, than fair enough, you might have a point.
    but they're in the main, beneficiaries of a generous Western society, who take it on themselves to (as you claim) "avenge" Muslims in far off countries , conveniently omitting that the very ideology they're espousing is slaughtering fellow Muslims in their 1000s

    Do you just ignore what ISIS themselves say?
    They say its to spread Islam and fcuk all to do with bombing..
    If the bombing stopped tomorrow ISIS would still carry on attacking in the name of Islam

    Why aren't there British marches and demonstrations against the murder by their forces of innocents in the Middle East? It should be happening every day shouldn't it? Or do British people support the murder of innocents?
    The same thing can be said about British people not protesting as about Muslims.

    The difference is that British forces aren't intentionally killing innocents.
    They are fighting IS and innocent people are killed in the fighting. Now if you can come up with a solution to a problem that has plagued humanity since 6000BC-how to destroy the enemy while making sure no innocents are killed-i'm sure the world would love to hear it.

    the GIA in Algeria were radicalised without one bomb falling on Algeria. They were radicalised enough to murder 100 000 (there are higher estimates) people:men, women, infants.....

    Where's their protests? Isn't the lack of protests proof that they support the murder of innocents?
    Sweden provided support to armies that have attacked the Middle East. Developing weapons for them.

    Sweden has forces in Iraqi Kurdistan, helping to fight IS. Note the distinction?

    So how do you explain the Moroccan who was involved? No bombing in Morocco. Or the Uzbek in Sweden? No bombing in Uzbekistan. Or the Tunisian in Nice? No bombing in Tunisia. Or that 15 of the 9/11 attackers were Saudis? No bombing in Saudi Arabia. I'll wait for the explanation.

    Gonna be serious discussions this week about our terror harbouring. I can see it on Claire Byrne Live or Primetime

    Featuring:
    Some weakling from the government to tell us they are doing EVERYTHING, the problem is small.

    Colm O'Gorman, to tell us that there is no problem at all. Doing actual things means the terrorists win

    An Audience full of PBP/AAA members to call everybody racists.


    Its going to be totally explosive TV and totally unpredictable.

    Not "fabricating"!

    The "protest" was in support for the victims, they were moved into position to.show the street where the attacks took place or do you think the backdrop for the shot should have been a drab grey building?

    It's not much of a protest when you can move them around on a street to get the optimum picture. :rolleyes:
    A muslim is a Muslim Same as a Christian who believes in creation and thinks the world is only 6000 years old is as much of a Christian as one who believes in evolution and that the earth is billions of years old.

    WTF are you on about.
    Just like with christians there are various flavours of islam.
    And lumping them all together is stupid, doesn't recognise the differences and gulfs between them and is considered insulting to them actually.

    It is your type of narrow minded thinking that helped create the mess in Iraq post sadam.
    According to US and British leaders they just saw them all as Iraqis and that the majority of them hated sadam.
    Once he was out of the way they would all just "live in the light" to paraphrase another poster. :rolleyes:

    Except they hate each other, are tribalistic and can't wait to go slaughtering each other given the chance.
    Hence you had shias getting even for being under the yoke of sadam's sunnis for decades.
    You then ended up with sunnis turning to the likes of al-Qaeda in Iraq which in turn morphed into ISIS.
    Once they got ground they started slaughtering Shias, Kurds, Yazidis, Alawites, etc.

    Just ask ISIS or even most of those adhering to Wahhabist sunni islam about who is an isn't a muslim in their eyes.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    So when ISIS claim that they would exist independent of Western foreign policy and that their purpose is theocratic in origin, you're saying they're lying to us and you really know their true purpose?

    That's quite a claim.

    Since when did they appoint you as their official spokesperson?

    The other poster appears not to have heard of the "Not in my name" movement.
    Has there been anything similar from Sunni Musloms in the UK?

    (I know the Ahmaddiyya (sp?) have marched, but as they aren't considered Muslims by the vast majority of Muslims around the world, we can hardly consider that they speak for those Muslims who reject them.)

    So being against British/American bombing campaigns is anti Brit bile? I could ask you do you think the innocents killed by British bombs had it coming?
    In most cases the reason these people are even in Western societies is because of the bombing campaigns.

    You're being disingenuous now. What binds these fundamentalists together is their faith, not their nationality and Muslims see the Western interference in the Middle East as an affront to their religion.

    I also cringe at the "they aren't Muslims" rhetoric some people are spouting. They're so wrapped up in their faith that they're laying down their lives for what they believe in. They're Muslims, like it or not.

    Actually you have.
    I once said that the arianna grande concert could have easily been targeted due to its patrons being young sexually confident girls which ISIS demonise.
    And you said much more likely the bombing occurred because the attacker felt revenge was needed for whats happening in Middle east by western forces.
    As Ive said before, you keep trying to dignify animals, for what reason I don't know.

    Funny enough they don't mind killing each other though. Look at the bombs planted in Iraq and Afghanistan in the last few days. A bit like the domestic violence scenario where the outsider stepping in to help is then turned on by all sides perhaps?

    Do you not think that they might actually have the support of Westerners if they just came out and said "stop bombing us and we'll stop killing your civilians"

    These are the people behind these atrocities and they are telling us why but you want to just ignore that because you can't pin the blame on white Europeans?
