Thank you. Have saved the page for future look.

I'm not locking any threads when the discussion is with in bounds. I'm simply expressing my opinion. I think the terror threat we have the most concern over is islamic extremists, and I don't agree there should be do much effort expended to look away.

Oberon 11-13-15 07:49 PM

Well then please rename it then, or stop with the 'All purpose terrorists' jibes. I'm not looking away, nor encouraging people to look away, but if that's what people want to take from it then nothing that I'm going to say is going to persuade you or Rockstar otherwise. I'm just the PC police after all. :nope:

EDIT: Commander Wallace has made a seperate thread about the Paris attacks, so you can delete this one.

Remember my earlier post about Rote Arme Fraction if we go back to the 70s and 80s many German and British will remember IRA, RAF and other political terror group, but in these years most of the terror attacks or trying to conduct terror have been done by Muslim terror groups.

There are many other radical groups in the world no doubt about that, but again so far its mostly if not only Muslim terror group who have conducted terror around the world and not only local against other Muslim or other.

But as mentioned before I'm not any expert, I try to get a wide spread information as much as possible.

The title of this thread is Ok and should not be changed

Markus


Yes there are many terrorist groups in history, but nobody is talking about them right now. As I suspect they are not as prevelant or even active. They are for the most part a thing of the past.

What I percieve as sugar coating a very serious and most current topic isnt the way I would do it. Even so, the title is fine with me too as it is the content of the thread which will reveal what is first and foremost on the minds of people.

Ah, fair enough...it's hard to tell on the web when someone is attacking versus when someone is having a light hearted jab. I guess 'All purpose' was a bit of a stretch, although it does make them sound like the toxic lawn fertiliser that they are... :03:

I'm very sorry it was not my intention to, as Neal wrote,

" you don't have the right to call it a replacement"

Likewise, sorry for the misinterpretation, I guess when I'm so entrenched in defending my position I get a little jumpy. :03: :salute:

It will be interesting to see the reactions of the native born over the current immigration policies and watching Merkle and other leaders squirm.

It's certainly going to bring it to the forefront again once the dust has settled. Already there are reports of a fire at the Calais refugee camp and the Dutch are putting police out to defend refugee camps against reprisals.

People have hatred in their hearts and they're going to vent it on the first Muslim looking thing they see.

I don't much care either way but FWIW I don't see a problem with talking exclusively about Islamic terrorist attacks right now. They are after all the type that's occurring at the moment. If another group were to conduct a terrorist attack then i'm sure there would be a string of posts concerning their activities and depending on their frequency and severity they would probably crowd out the Islamic posts.

That's what I thought.
Refraining from calling it "Islamic terrorism" thread smells too much like political correctness to me.
Things are what they are and so far I don't hear an awful lot about Buddhist terrorists blowing people to bits or cutting heads off...

We could also just name this thread "The religion of peace strikes again!" but I guess this is a can of worms and would rustle the jimmies of those who are too concerned that the poor Islam is just being 'abused' again... or 'misinterpreted'... like it always the case...

Meh. :shifty:
