Current Events - July 2007

I mean isn't the UK and USA at war with Iraq and Afganastan, how come it is okay for them to kill thousands of civilians every month, but when it happens in the West then suddenly it's a terrorist attack and everybody is up in arms about it. Personally I always thought a war had 2 sides, and although I don't agree with it at all I think the east are justified in their retalliation attacks on the west....what do you guys think?

Btw, as for Muslims hating the "British way of life" (eg the "slags" dancing in nightclubs):

The IRA mentioned all kinds of things in their motivation for bombing including the19thC Potato Famine. I suspect the Potato Famine was not mentioned once in the peace negotiations

Those with more sophisticated knowledge of these issues know that such peripheral matters are not really central in the terrorists wish to bomb and maim.

Do you think the guy that was on fire should have been treated for his injuries by the NHS, or left in a corner to die, as ultimately thats what he wanted. Theres a big enough waiting list without treating people like this, his actions could have killed hundreds of innocent people. I believe we need to severely punish these people as a deterrent. Serious answers only please.

Most people in the UK welcome Muslims into this country.
UK law protects all ethnic groups from discrimination.
Most people in the UK were against the war in Iraq.
The main instigator of war in Iraq (Tony Blair) has now gone (thank goodness)!
There is only one god. The Christians call him God, the Muslims call him Allah. Our God would not want us to kill each other because we listen to one of his messengers instead of another. As far as I know Mohammed didn't advocate murder.

My question to those who support terrorist attacks is, why do you want to kill people (Muslims and Christians) in your adopted country? Why, and what do you hope to achieve? What are your goals? Please give a thought out logical answer.

Yahoo News just posted an article announcing that 32% of the top Western countries believe America the biggest threat to world stability. America is ahead of Iran, China, and North Korea. Bush has put us ahead of the "Axis of Evil"? Oh my. I knew we were bad, but not this bad.

What do you think? Which country do you believe is the country most likely to bring destruction and unstability to the world?

personally i don't want to take any drug but since many people do why cany they surly legalisation would to criminals raking in the cash and the government could use the money raise to help the NHS. also if drugs where legal users would know their hit wasnt contaminated and abit safer
smoking and drinking is legal not everybody is hooked just cos they are legal. loads of people take E or coke to chill out at the weekend but are not adicts so why cant people decide for themselfs weather they want to gamble with their health?

Why is the terrorist who was on fire being treated at a hostpital? surely he should have been left to burn.

If he lives then he will face 90 days of questioning then probably released on bail.... only to get it right next time.
I have said this since the London bombings 2 years ago... if we had kept our borders closed to all and sundry then these incidents wouldnt have happened.

Its only a matter of time and bad luck that the police and the rest of the counter-terrorist force lets one slip through the net and the UK will have a tragedy on the scale of 9/11 if not worse.

Its time we, the UK as a nation stood up to terrorist, including those born on these shores, kick them out and shut the door behind them.

I dont want to live under Islamic rule and im sure no one else does, They will never achieve anything by scaremongering, trying to make us give in... Hittler tried that...

Ok i am now sick and tired of these scum putting the lives of my family and fellow countrymen at risk,we have the two scumbags who tried to bomb glasgow (found with propane gas bottles and petrol bombs) caught red handed and apparently the drivers of the failed london bombings on friday (again caught on cctv leaving the cars).

What i am proposing is to set up a petition on the downing street website to call for the return of capital punishment for these murdering idiots,i mean once they have been interorgated and we know all there is to know what is the point of putting them in prison,feeding them with OUR food that WE have to pay for with OUR taxes when all they want to do is kill or maim us anyway.

I kid you not if i get enough yes votes for the return of capital punishment i will set it up today.

Sorry to rant but i am sick and tired of looking over my shoulder,if it helps i live in london so yes i have 1st hand experience of the fear.

I realise it probably wouldn't be possible to monitor every single mosque, but there are some known to be connected to radical Islamic groups. What do you think?

With an attack on Glasgow Airport, and the two failed attempts in London, will the Respect MP make a statement of condemnation?
And will his Stop the War coalition be organising a March to show their disapproval of Muslim Terrorism?
