Incident in Manchester UK

[watt price tully]

Bloody US under Trump can't keep a secret:

1. First Trump reveals Israeli classified intelligence to Russia

2. Now the US reveals the name of the bomber without consulting the UK as to timing of such information: Amateur hour (again) with the US

"...Britain's Home Secretary Amber Rudd has complained to her US counterpart over the leak of the identity of the Manchester suicide bomber to the American media.

Mrs Rudd took the extraordinary step of making the UK government's frustration with the Americans public on Wednesday as counter-terror investigators worked to identify possible accomplices of 22-year old Salman Abedi..."

What a stupid table to show that Muslims are more likely to kill / murder people through acts of terror:

Just one example:

Misogyny an ideology?

Developed by yet another inadequate maladjusted male was it ?

Wiki definition:

"Misogyny (/mɪˈsɒdʒɪni/) is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including social exclusion, sex discrimination, hostility, androcentrism, patriarchy, male privilege, belittling of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification.[1][2] Misogyny can occasionally be found within sacred texts of religions and mythologies, and various influential Western philosophers and thinkers have been described as misogynistic"

You take that from the table? Here's the unfiltered data, you can make your own table.

Radical Islamists, of course, are well known for their feminist sympathies.

I saw a bar chart not a table. On the horizontal axis of the bar chart was a list of so called ideologies. Amongst that list of purported ideologies was Misogyny. As noted Misogyny is not an ideology.

If that sort of sloppiness is allowed to be noted then how reliable is the data?

I'm glad you got a laugh out of it.

Islam follower Terrorist. Again.

But Skids is assured at the at the time of his posting the perpetrators were not home grown because he posts "we keep letting them in"....

I prefer to wait to learn what an assessment of the situation tells us than speculate & finger point at this early point in time.

UK let his parents in and had family contact and trips back to Syria where he trained for the shit.

Indoctrination starts as a child.

Of course it does, and truth never lies however: What is your point?

As you quoted: I prefer to wait to learn what an assessment of the situation tells us.. . Now the facts are starting to come in (despite the best efforts of the current incompetent US regime).

However, the main point of my posting was that it was opportunistic & indecent by the haste in which Skids posted in the immediate aftermath of the murder in Manchester to make the comment "we keep letting them in" (in case you missed it )

Not all the facts are in yet so it's always a good idea to wait till they are to make informed comment.

After each attack these denunciations are made, and I do not doubt that they are felt by the many good Muslims. That is not my point. The point is that there is no mass movement of Muslims acknowledging the problem, demanding change, committing to anti-terrorism, and accepting that the problem is Islam. I suspect that part of the reason for this is that Islam itself is very fractured and particulate, with little tradition of church authority. This is one of the facets which makes the religion itself so liable to perversion.

Your pictures of a few people demonstrating against ISIS (not the only source of Islamic terrorism) do not mean much, as they are just as likely to be sectarian preference as an acknowledgement that Islam itself, wherever it is found, needs reform.

It's not the key issue, however. They key issue is what we, in the West, do to manage the Muslim communities we have with fairness and justice, while insulating and defending ourselves against further incursions and perversions of this ancient Arab ideology. At the moment, all I sense from the Left, who have vitiated all of their traditions by siding with this most reactionary faith, is that we must learn to live with the massacre of our children on our streets, rather than take any practical action which would offend their greater religion of diversity and cultural relativism.

I've often wondered of those who identify as Muslim what percentage are actively involved in trying to live within the requirements of it?

While I have no idea I suspect it might be far higher than those who identify as Christian but don't go church, adhere to special diet requirements or say grace before a meal etc.

My point is that while Christianity has had it's well documented problems over the centuries the fact less and less people actually now participate within it to the point of being labelled a devout Christian has been beneficial (the Pope probably doesn't agree) and lead to more open minded opinion and individuals whilst still embracing some of the good ideals within it.

My fear is that with many Islamic countries they're still a century or three away from that kind of casual adherence for a majority of followers and with a greater percentage being so devout (brainwashed) it's an easier task to turn them to radical Islam.

i worked with a bloke back in the 80's who drank like a fish whenever the opportunity to go to the pub presented and ate anything he could shovel in his mouth. I was gobsmacked when firstly i was told he declined to dress as Santa for a Xmas party as he was Muslim, then showed up to a work function where partners were invited with his wife in a Hijab.

Obviously he only followed the bits that suited him.

I don't have an issue with people who are Muslim. I do believe that the "religion" in how it was conceived and how it's mainly preached is a horrible, repressive, pervasive, controlling thing that has no place in a modern world.

that the majority of people who follow this "faith" do so with good intentions and deliberately pick the good parts to follow from it's teachings doesn't lessen that.

Whether it be Christians holding up anti abortion signs outside a clinic (or shooting doctors inside), hard line orthodox Jews establishing provocative settlements in the West Bank or Muslims becoming radicalised to the point they become willing suicide bombers it's generally the devout who cause most of the trouble.

My assumption is that there are a higher percentage of Muslims who take a more serious approach to there religion and as such the chances of a nutter being produced are greater.
