    Yeah, well when people start quoting it before blowing themselves up, then I'll begin to worry about it. Otherwise it's just facetious whataboutery.

    Quit having digs at people for asking perfectly valid questions because you don't like the implication of some of the possible answers.


    I asked the question - and then I responded to posts like this which accused me of conspiracy by repeating my original question and now I'm implying there is a conspiracy.. wow... such an insight you have.

    Is everyone else who asks awkward questions to wear a tin foil hat too?

    You know who else dismisses those who ask awkward questions?

    ISIS... see - they really are taking over Europe one closed unquestioning mind at a time. Questions will be forbidden in the new un PC Europe you mark my words.

    I'll be ok though cos my tinfoil hat will protect me.

    The "I'm just asking a question" is the oldest CT trick in the book. You know what you're doing, you're trying to put out the seeds of a CT and deflect away from the most likely explanation without explicitly coming out with your own narrative. People who've been around Boards long enough have seen this done time and time again so you might think you're being clever but you're just repeating old tactics.

    Re passports

    All the mumbai terrorists had fake passports but LET did not want their hand in it known and that doesn't seem to be the case here

    Also, they would need those passports if the operation was cancelled for some reason

    Muslims breed extremists though. Its a religion with a seriously problematic extremist tendency.
    If Muslims arent the enemy, Islam certainly is.

    ah yes, all those 1.6 billion Muslims in the world :rolleyes:

    Polish EU minister has no bother linking last night's massacre with ISIS terrorists and refugee crisis. He has no qualms with demanding full control of who and how many enters his country. He has now refused all entry to any of the 160,000 refugees who were supposed to be dispersed amongst Europe. Our ministers should take a look at this course of action.

    That's because he's not a moron. meanwhile we get Enda Kenny.

    I think we should all change our facebook profile pictures to the Iraqi flag.

    "Nobody in the outside world paid much attention to the thousands of Iraqi Shia who were killed then and have gone on dying because of Isis terrorist bombings in Iraq. The number of civilians killed in Iraq jumped from 4,623 in 2012 to 9,473 in 2013 and to 17,045 in 2014, according to Iraqi Body Count, an independent website; a high proportion of these killed were Shia victims of Isis bombers and executioners. This savagery is now being repeated in the streets of Paris and Ankara, where 102 demonstrators for peace were killed by two suicide bombers on 10 October". -Patrick Cockburn, Irishman and Middle East Correspondent.

    So you would rather thousands of refugees are turned away because of madmen? That's not very fair is it.

    To be fair most of the Bibles are totally fictional. Not like they are reporting on a historical figure. Well yes there was a Jesus but he could not do magic.

    Pointing out something that actually is happening isn't a conspiracy theory. Now go back under your bridge.

    As opposed to the stupidity of providing a shuttle service from north Africa for refugees / asylum seekers from Syria Mali Eritrea Nigeria Libya and Senegal. I prefer the Polish option.

    The world isn't 'fair'. So I honestly couldn't give a $h1t. The problems of the entire world aren't mine, thus I've no desire to make them so.

    well no, it just highlights how small a problem it is.

    The refugees are coming from Turkey where they are safe and have protection. Many hundreds of thousands have decided to leave there and come to Europe as migrants and obviously see Europe as somewhere they can prosper. No problem on a basic level with that. I'd probably do the same myself. But we have laws and processes for dealing with migrants and asylum seekers, however our political class have decided to ignore that and open the gates to whoever wants to come in.

    we can sufficiently look after our own. We take in refugees in order to protect them from war in their own country. Though I do agree we shouldn't take in anyone who leaves a safe country to come here.

    You're right, the problems of the entire world aren't yours. No one is asking you to take in a refugee though. The government will be doing that with state money.

    well no, because that isn't an opposing option.
    both are completely retarded options and ideas and only put forward by complete idiots who clearly either have no idea what they're talking about, or ulterior motives.

    Society won't allow us to look after our own, which is different than saying we can't - a simple example - DCC bought Longfields Hotel in Dublin - and the Dublin simon community wanted to use it for homeless shelter - guess what happened - there were tonnes of objections.

    I have a big problem with it. By right we should turn away any refugee who passes a safe country to be here.

    Cool, So I expect the Foreign aid budget to be Reduced in line with the cost of providing shelter and services for those we take in yes ?

    If a "refugee" comes to this country and gets radicalised, or is already radicalised and is coming to europe with the intention to cause violence, then it is a potential problem for anyone in this country.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,703 ✭✭✭IrishTrajan


    ah yes, all those 1.6 billion Muslims in the world :rolleyes:

    Islam does have a disproportionately high number of terrorists, and Islamic countries do have a worrying number of people who support these radical groups.

    If even 10% of Muslims (Pew polls put the figure much, much higher) are radicalists or sympathetic to radicalists, that's 160 million people we have to worry about. If even 1% of those are willing to kill for Islam, that's 1.6 million people we have to worry about.

    That's what, 0.001%? Assuming even 0.001% of Muslims coming into Europe are extremists, that's 1500 people.

    We've seen what 8 of them could do in Paris last night. We need stringent security checks of all migrants coming to Europe, and the immediate deportation of those who fail to meet the criteria. We can't waste time and resources, this is a clear and present danger to the structure and survival of Europe.

    Well here's the option I favour. Actually it's Cameron's. No refugees are accepted from Europe but are actually vetted in reception centres in Africa. And naval vessels tow the refugees back to Libyan ports rather than tow them into Europe. And no status is afforded to those who cannot prove their identity.

    if those figures were even remotely true, we'd have attacks ever single day of the week all across the world, not least in Europe.
    they're complete bullsh1t.
