Â Fair point & I think they're pure scum as well. Again though - religion. Â I should have said most terrorists seem to be Muslims, not all. Which is statistically true.

Terrorists by definition, but they rarely get called so, wonder why  Terrorists by the broadest definition, yes, but rarely with political or religious objectives, so that's why they don't get that tag.

Terrorists by definition, but they rarely get called so, wonder why Not really terrorists by definition though. They don't have a political or religious agenda, or any demands - they're just mentally unstable people with easy access to destructive weapons.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted November 14, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 14, 2015 It's a simple sign of the times. All terrorists now seem to be Muslim. All terrorists 25 years ago seemed to be Irish. In another 20 years ago it will probrably be the Koreans or the Dutch, or the Eskimos, whale eating bastards.

Fair point & I think they're pure scum as well. Again though - religion.Is it the religion though, or are they just misrepresenting religion to try and give credibility to their own agenda? Killing indiscriminately in the name of a religion that demands that Thou Shalt Not Kill doesn't hold water.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2015 While after Paris, Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump have been going on about how different it would have been if the victims had had guns as well. Yeah Newt Gingrich's tweet was brain dead and insensitive. The Tweet from Trump however is an old one from January (after the Charlie Hebdo incident) that has been retweeted by everyone. He's still an idiot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
