Mortar Bored Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Thankfully there were jammy dodgers able to get out of the way. That's a pretty profound statement, it's going to take me a while to digestive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also flew out of Brussels the day before that was blown up. My mother was in Manchester when the bomb went off and my sister in New York the day before 9/11! I was in Scotland the night of Lockerbie, I was in Glasgow the night of the bin lorry crash. So, so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tight minge Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 And on the other hand being a good Muslim and living beside and selling alcohol to the dirty kafir/kuffar is misinterpretation too then I take it? Nowhere in the Koran does it say you must not drink (or sell) alcohol. As mentioned it is all interpretation of a book written many years ago, the same as most religious documents. It's just as easy to interpret the writings to angle a hatred and miss understanding of all Islam as it does these ISIS fuckwits to turn it into a book of evil.There is far too much infighting in Islam that is ignored in an attempt to simplify this in western terms and Islam itself (the good and peace loving Muslims (the vast majority of them) need to rise up against these terrorists as all they are really doing is destroying Islam.Mr Bairn has either tried too hard this time or truly is a complete embarrassment of a human being.

Cream Cheese Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 What's with the BBC and all of the sad music? As if it's really required in a situation like this. This isn't some Hollywood movie we're watching, it's real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 4 hours ago, Mr Bairn said: How on earth is IS nearly finished? In terms of being any kind of expansionist quasi-nation state, they shot their bolt well over a year ago and have been in shrink mode ever since. The last year or so, especially since the Russians got involved has seen them steadily pushed back on all fronts. What they hold now are a couple of cities, a few towns and a lot of empty desert nobody's interested in inbetween. The caliphate that was supposed to stretch from Spain to China ain't going to happen. That's not to say their influence amongst the more damaged souls in Muslim communities worldwide is any less, but who are now carrying out attacks aren't actually IS, but shitey locally-produced IS tribute acts. Doesn't make them any less dangerous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London is the biggest target in the UK but Edinburgh and Glasgow are right up there with Birmingham/Manchester/Liverpool/Cardiff etc as the next biggest targets. The suits as Islamic State's head office won't be psychoanalysing the current geopolitical status of the UK when planning which city to attack. Even if we were independent, Glasgow and Edinburgh would still be potential targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
