    It's now been confirmed that it's Muslim suicide bombers. You see, it's this sort of thing that gives Islam a bad name. Nobody gives a DAMN as to WHY such animals commit the atrocities that they commit. They just don't . . . care. Islam had better BEGIN policing itself.

    You are explaining the Muslim mass murder of Christians with Middle East policy.

    They are explaining the Fascist mass murder of Muslims with immigration policy.

    Senator Anning was relentlessly attacked for victim blaming for doing extactly what you are.

    I never doubted it was Mulsim Bombers. The OP asked
    and that was what I replied to. There already was a hate thread going for those whose inter4est is that.

    My assertion stands, Islam needs to get its act together and begin controlling their own before the Western world finally gets enough and decides to do it for them. That would get . . . ugly.

    True. We're not nuked any Islamic holy places, but if this extremism crap is going for decades and getting worse.. no one knows how far some people will go to solve this for them. Thing is that World isn't getting better by suicide bombers. Another problem is that those suicide bombers think that it's holy war and being martyr by doing horrible things is way to the paradise. Where you can have sex with multiple virgins. Worst delusion ever.

    The question was
    and on answering the question my thinking was that it was a response to the American Christian Zionist Governments actions in Israel. I said that partly because they are currently going hell bent on saying to hell with International law and Might is Right, we will get what our bible says. Who stood behind Trump with a large smile on his face when he said the US were moving their Embassy to Jerusalem - in case you don;t know Pence. I also said that because the Church of Scotland having been approached by Palestinian Christians who I am imaging have an ear to the ground on Christians in the ME suggested that American Christians Zionists actions could have something to do with the way Christians were being treated in the ME - not least because most people there like most people here will not bother to find out what is going on and so assume ME Christians are the same as American Christian Zionists. Even Christians in my own country are not. Plenty of American Christians are not - couldn't be further from it.

    Anything which I have said has to be put in context of the OP. I would not have spoken about this if it had not been the subject of the thread

    nope, you have lost me again. Oh I get it if Muslims weren't there they couldn't be killed.
    No, that is not what I was doing. See the rest of this post and think.

    Alexa, You are so hate - filled you have become delusional. Christian extremists are a definate minority in the US and have almost no influence - a mere glance at American TV and movies should
    amply prove this. The US has repeatedly reprimanded Israel over its illegal settlements. The Palestinians can have a settlement and their own state any day they want one - all they have to do is
    acknowledge Israel's right to exisit - but this they are hate-filled ever to do. Nor is the US tryimng to destroy Iran, it is trying to prevent the neighborhood bully from getting nuclear weapons. If Iran
    dropped its nuclear program the sanctions would be lifted. If the Muslims in the MIddle East disarmed there would be no more violence. If the Israelis disarmed there would be no more Israel. That
    is why the US supports Israel, not because of some fantasy about it waging war on Islam. If the US were really waging war on Islam, it is hardly likely it would be admitting thousands of Muslims
    into the US every year and granting them freedoms Muslims would never consider showing to non-Muslims in Muslim countries. In the US two Muslim women have been recently elected to Congress
    They are both anti-Semitic A-holes, but they are there. Muslim women couldn't get elected in many Muslim countries. If the bombings in Sri Lanka were carried out by Muslims - and that has not
    been determined yet - they were carried out because of hatred of all non-Muslims. Islam is the religion of hate. Sri Lanka has a long history of violence against Christians.

    You certainly believe in the bizarre; hopefully, there are no atrocities in your future.

    So is you silence about the merits of Islam.
    I'll take your silence as a confession that you have nothing to say, which is of course expected since Islam has nothing valuable to offer.

    I'm not accusing you of excusing what's happened, only explaining it. Much like Anning did with Christchurch. I just like consistency is all.

    As far as the veracity of your explanation goes - it seems like an odd time to do such a thing. Relations between Arab nations and Israel will never be fantastic, but they have come a long way. By and large it is Iran and Palestine who hate Israel now.

    It is equally possible that this is retaliation for Christchurch. Who knows. You'd think they would attack a Western nation if that was the case. Then again, you'd think they'd attack a synagogue if this was about Israel.

    Yes, that assumption is racist.

    This was clearly another tragic example of Israel inciting violence.

    No it is not - except possibly on one level - that would be if I am right that the people who did these bombs do not bother to find out whether the Christians they are assaulting are the Christians who have been involved in the destruction of the ME. That would be similar to people in the West who believe all Muslims are like ISIS but the only reason I can see for Manning is that they would not be killed if they did not come to New Zealand. I saw someone make that argument as to why it was fine to kill the Rohyingya. If my guess was right and it may well not be right but if it is, then this was what a reaction on what is being currently done to Palestine. I don't agree with attacks on anyone but we live currently in a world just now of black and white and the other is evil. Things are never as simplistic as that. Christian Zionists with Israel are attacking Islam in the ME. Very simply that can be taken from the moves being made that looks like it is almost certain they are going to take Al Aqsa. Further to that the US, the strongest military power in the world is giving Israel a free hand to act illegally. Can these people beat the US through military means, No. So they respond as they can. My belief is that the people in the wrong are the people who are doing the illegal acts through violence and that is the US and Israel and that is in respect of taking all of Jerusalem including Al Aqsa, taking land in Syria which they need for water, would involve allowing them to do anything they want with countries like Lebanon and looking like the destruction of Iran. I am simply suggesting that no Tyrant, no one can continue to harm people like this and get away with it and I also said the ME Christians are paying for their actions. You cannot just keep pushing people more and more and expect no response. The action of killing and wounding people is not good but nor is the action of killing and wounding and starving to death and causing wars and the rising of extremists groups - Isis and Israel are on 'friendly' terms.

    My answer was an acceptable one to the question. It may be wrong but that is certainly as I said in my first answer a very plausible reason. People are choosing to twist that by taking it out of the context of this thread.

    Now I must go and get on with other things.

    Attacking Christians on religious holidays is an Islamic calling card. Nothing unusual! Next Sunday will be Orthodox Easter, and Greece is preparing itself for a possible attack from Turkey. The army managed to stop one 3 years ago after people got whiff that an attack on an island might be immanent.

    More than 210 killed ... and the number is not final.
    Muslims stay where you are .. If you want to kill and explode, do it in your 21 large countries .. not around us.
    Thanks.

    Why pro Islamo Jihado Arabos allways mention Israel ?
    To divert the subject that Muslims are the ONLY cause for other Muslim's death and suffer ?
    OK .. I agree to that.

    In other words kill all the Christians you want as long as it's not in the US. Not very loving is that?
