I'm sure the majority of one punch assaulters aren't trying to kill people (they're still scum btw). A fella taking a fcuking knife onto the streets of a major town and butchering three people on a rush hour morning, killing one, is a bit different. If you don't see that, we've nothing else to discuss.

Reasonable people know full well that the vast majority of people who are Muslim are good, ordinary human beings who want a happy life. The people of Iran, Egypt, Morocco, Syria, Afghanistan etc have pretty much the exact same desires as the people of Ireland, there is a lot of cool stuff going on in those countries, especially in youth culture, and they deserve a break from the hellish circumstances that history has forced upon them. They are our noble fellow beings. There is a problem however with the teachings coming out of fundamentalist Islam - the mad mullahs despise infidels, homosexuals, women, and teach thus.

I am very sad to hear of the death of this poor man from Japan, and of the assaults upon the other two people. It must have been absolutely terrifying for them. Condolences to the dead man's loved ones. Tragic news.

pilly wrote: » BS. The guy who stabbed another over a card game was an immigrant too. Difference is he was white. In fact I'd be willing to be there are without doubt more crimes committed here in Ireland by white immigrants than immigrants of other colour. Certainly has been my experience of the courts. Never mind though, they're not brown muslims, they're just your average white scumbag like our own.
