You could call it the RRR.

Do some maths and work out the percentage of the planets Muslims that are carrying out terror attacks. That should help you work out whether blaming the entire religion is rational or irrational.

I think the problem is, rightly or wrongly, there are terrorist groups that have based their ideology on a major world religion, and that religion has a history of violent struggle with the west.

Weather or not it's true, there is an implicit feeling amongst many, that because of the religious affiliation, the number of people who sympathise/identify with the cause and sometime even the means, is many more times the number of people who actually commit terrorist attacks. This is compounded by the fact that many of the recent terrorist incidents have been committed by people who have been radicalised at home, here in Europe.

You hear the same story time and time again. He was an ordinary boy. Or he was a good boy but got in with a bad crowd. A few month later, they've killed X number of people.

That leaves many people highly suspicious, and that any Muslim is a potential terrorist.

If there were Christians being radicalised at Church (or any community based organisation), and commiting terrorist attacks because of it, there would be the same suspicion.

Correction: Japan wanted to surrender with the term that their Emperor was preserved. The US wanted total and unconditional surrender. There is also a religious element to the bombs being dropped, their cities of choice were particularly interesting especially when other areas could have been chosen.

I Know, so the USA insisted on terms that they knew would prolong the war until such time as the Bombs were ready to be deployed.

It is also interesting to note that the two cities chosen had been designated as targets for Atomic bombing from the beginning of the War and as such had been spared conventional assault so that they would represent a "Clean Canvas" for the effects of a nuclear weapon.

There was no way that the bombs were not going to be used.
 
Good to see that all the islam comments being deleted yet disparaging stuff about the mentally ill remains.

"Non exhaustive list" my arse.

Yes I would class everyone who orchestrates mass murder, with terrorism (idealogical or otherwise) and the killing of innocents as a goal, as suffering from some form of mental illness. Without any reservation.

RTM the posts and we will take a look at them. I have to say I haven't seen any comments that do anything other than discuss mental health issues :confused:

And Hiroshima and Nagasaki were Japans only two Christian cities at the time. I did once buy into the "the bombs saved x million Chinese" at one point.

Its good until we have confirmation. If it is confirmed then there would be zero reason to delete as that forms censorship of truth.

(Actually, there were many reasons that the USA dropped the Bombs, Most were technical and political. Military came well down the list, The USA could easily have just blockaded Japan and starved them out. No invasion was necessary. They were on the verge of surrendering anyway. It was a bit of a damn close run thing that the USA had the chance to drop the bombs before the Japs surrendered on them! One of the reasons for the urgency of the project indeed.)

Yeah that isn't actually in anyway true....The Japanese were not in anyway about to surrender and were fighting with every means at their disposal on every front, in China, Burma, Pacific Islands. The wrong headed idea that a campaign of starvation would have ended the war sooner or with less death and suffering is just entirely nonsensical.

That very much depends on the wording of the posts, it's not censorship by any measure.

Not in that sense of course.

If I was to say its revealed/confirmed he was a Somalian muslim aligned with ISIS or acting out an attack in similarity to other attacks across Europe.

The fact if that were removed it would be censorship.

I think my post was deleted for simply saying a previous member was correct in that the person probably didn't have one of two possible names (one of which was scottish.....I think it was that one which did it).

:edit: I have nothing against the scottish
 
On a serious note, has there been any link at all to any group or organisation yet? Or does this look more and more like a random knifing? I'm of the impression those happen relatively often anyway?

Back on topic please :)

Sorry EVH, I was under the illusion this was a thread if unrelated and irrelevant rants and remarks. I'll behave.

So true, is blown all out of proportion and we've had threads, saying things like worst attack attack ever and this is the end and similar stuff.
yet, we actually live in a time that is well down on terrorist attacks.
a bit of perspective is needed for some people in these threads.

But you are aware then of US declassified requests by the Japanese.

I'm sorry but your post is entirely inaccurate:

www.ihr.org/jhr/v16/v16n3p-4_weber.html

Its all there and the evidence is based on US govt released information. Again if you don't believe that evidence, you'll need to take it up with the US govt.
 
They said on LBC, the new tactics now are the lone wolf types. Organising another 9/11 or 7/7 is almost impossible these days, but how can anyone stop a random stranger driving a car down a busy high street on a saturday afternoon.

Last week a sky news presenter got some heat for walking into a church and saying he could kill everyone.....actually he was right. He could.
