I came here specifically to say that this was a major aspect of the Oklahoma City bombing. Timothy McVeigh deliberately parked his truck where it did so it would destroy the day care center. :mad:
yes it is the objective of the DAESH cult to provoke separation and to provoke the final battle.
Not Islamist, it is the ideology of the Takfiri salafism, and beyond this the even worse form of it that is the nihilistic end of times cult that is DAESH.
There were several Welsh terrorist groups, and even Scottish ones - and of course the vast majority of terrorist attacks on British soil were committed by the IRA and its auxiliaries.
Otherwise, I’m on board with this pitting.

Isn’t the goal of ISIS to drag the west into an endless civil war in the middle east, bankrupting them?
[/QUOTE]
From what I’ve read, their goal, such as it is, would be to drag the US into a war in specific areas of the middle east to bring about the apocalypse.
To paraphrase Dr. Egon, And ISIS wasn’t alone, they had close to 30,000 thousand followers when things were kicking. They conducted rituals in Syria and Iraq. Bizarre rituals, intended to bring the US and The West into a vast war in the region that would bring about the end of the world, and now it looks like it might actually happen…
:eek:
Not sure what happened there. That was supposed to say “All I can think of is that Grande seems to have more younger fans, as she started on Nickelodeon.”
The only other thing I even remember about her is her licking some donuts in a shop and whining about American decadence, saying “I hate America.”
Well, that and she does some nice impressions on Fallon.
And on SNL.
I’d be interested to see you show me one post of mine in which I’ve expressed a prejudice towards Muslims other than terrorists. If you cannot, and you won’t be able to find one, then I’m afraid that the fuckwit is you, despite your admirable staff reports.
I’ll be waiting and if you do turn up one that fits the bill I’ll offer you my profuse apologies and promise to be a better human being in future. And I actually mean that. I would be mortified to find that I’d ever posted anything against non-terrorist followers of Islam.
Do you permanently live in middle school? Do you think ISIS terrorists listen to Spotify all day and decide to suicide bomb artists they don’t like?
Nice to know ISIS spared your retro 80’s New Wave sensibilities.
Just wondering, do you put white-out on the screen when you make a typo? You are such a vacuous air-headed fucktard, it’s like you do this on purpose.
Gosh, what government workers *do *you believe deserve suicide bombing? Census takers?
This is the Pit.
Shut up troll.
Killing a bunch of innocent people for your political or religious belief is an evil, asshole thing to do, but blowing yourself up, or flying an airplane into a building isn’t cowardly.
I don’t mean to minimize this heinous act, but the coverage of it does make me think about how Trump’s claims that terrorism doesn’t get enough coverage in the media is exactly 100% the opposite of reality. Part of me would like to see a newscast open with: “22 people were killed in Britain today in a terrorist act…and meanwhile, about 4 times as many died in the U.S. in motor vehicle accidents today.” Of course, the difference is that the terrorist acts don’t happen every day whereas the motor vehicle carnage does.
Vehicle carnage? You think every day is a Mad Max film?
Who said that?
Oh, Jesus. The fucking conspiracy nuts are out about Manchester being a false flag operation.
This now happens after every high-profile bad thing that happens. Usually within minutes. A recent high-profile shooting in my area was deemed to be a false flag because the county held a mass casualty exercise two years ago.
Bill Maher said something along those lines on “Politically Incorrect,” which was a main reason that show was yanked off the air .
His exact quote, aired within a few weeks of 9/11, was “We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building? Say what you want about it…not cowardly,”
Or the number of deaths due to lung disease caused by pollution, or smoking deaths, or death by cheeseburger (overweight/over eating)…or myriad other things. Yeah, I totally agree. People are horrible at risk assessment or judging relative risks. And they are certainly bad at understanding probabilities associated with risk. And the media seems either particularly bad at this, or know that educating the public by making these kinds of comparisons just isn’t part of their business model. This is why someone like the Trumpster can, with a straight face, tell people that crime is at a 50 year high…and folks will believe him, since they see all this crime on TV every night. Must be true!!
Most of Anders Behring Breivik’s victims were white kids aged 14-18.
What’s wrong with this picture?
“BRITISH independent politician Janice Atkinson has demanded the United Kingdom reintroduce the death penalty — for suicide bombers.” :rolleyes:
She wishes to discourage failure.
