    While western media has been relentless in its coverage of Attacks in Belgium today, its shameful that they didnt have any coverage of the 39 civilians their army killed last week in Raqa, syria. More evidence that our news outlets are totally bias and a one sided propaganda machine that we liked to accuse the Nazis of.

    http://www.manilatimes.net/russian-airstrikes-kill-39-civilians-in-syria/251661/

    BEIRUT: A wave of Russian airstrikes killed at least 39 civilians on Saturday in Raqa, the main stronghold of the Islamic State jihadist group in Syria, a monitoring group said.
    At least five children and seven women were among the dead in IS’s de facto capital in the north of the war-ravaged country, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.[/I]

    What is the point of this thread?

    Your comments don't make sense at all!

    Yes, it is always sad that civilians die.

    However, I'm quite sure that the Russians weren't trying to kill as many innocent people as possible.

    However, these mo'fckers in Brussels were exactly doing that.

    This thread is a disgrace. Your comments are a disgrace, and you should be deeply ashamed of yourself. :twocents:

    Sad to see that PF.com has sunk so low in the last few years.

    Please explain to us how you would have this be "more sanitary". Your post says that this is "the main stronghold" of Daesh in Syria. The world agrees that Daesh must be destroyed.
    On one side, we have our Kenyan being criticized for failing to do that. On the other side, we have the likes of you claiming that Putin is a monster for going about it.
    This is war. People die in war. The allied air strikes of Dresden were an elemental part of winning over Germany. The nuclear strikes in Japan were required, to save over 2 million lives against Japan. Until and unless the offensive effort prevails in places like Raqa, we will continue to see attacks in Belgium, France, and eventually, ALL Western countries. War is Hell. Welcome to the world, and shut up.

    Ad hominem tu quoque, because somehow some dead civilians in an ISIS stronghold equals over 1,000 years of repeated Muslim invasions against Europe. Or something.

    That's what happens when Islamo-terrorists do not join the Geneva Convention, do not fight according to the rules of war, set up fighting positions, barracks, command centers and weapons caches deliberately in civilian areas.

    Please start demanding ISIS, the Taliban and other scum of the earth Muslims set up their military bases away from civilian areas.

    Thank you.

    I wish there was a way to stop ISIS by killing ONLY ISIS members, I really do. If you can figure out a way to do that, please let us know, eh? But I tell you what; there would be no Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights if it wasn't for ISIS.

    The deaths of innocents anywhere is shameful.
    You are correct that a double standard is applied when people died in your post or when they died in Africa due to Boko Harum attacks.

    Shame on anyone who dares to criticize those who point out these double standards.

    Russians are filthy murderers I will agree with you one that but they are not in any way "Western". Russia is a barbaric filth infested turd eating country in the Northeastern part at the very far end of Europe. They have been are and shall be barbarians of the worst kind so do not insult the fine people of the West by calling those who behave worse than animals - aka Russians - Western.

    I have not seen you about for some time. Sorry for what happened in Belgium today. However we never care about when we are killing civilians or even when they are killed by extremists outside Europe/the US. We do not take responsibility for the part we have had in this. Obviously being from Belgium this will be much more personal for you - I was thinking earlier if it had happened here I would be feeling extremely hyper. The other side of it is that there are several threads concerning what happened in Belgium today and most of them have been hate Muslim threads so at the moment I think it would be good if we also thought of the number of Muslims we have killed over the last 15 years or so, particularly as that is the greatest recruiter to what happened in Belgium today.

    Hope no one you know was harmed.

    Brussels is home to NATO HQ, in an area surrounded by civilian neighborhoods. Why can't Christians set up their military bases away from civilian areas?

    Because we did not expect that there would be barbaric terrorist A.HOLES who would plant bombs near civilian areas. The only barbarians we had to deal with in the prior 100 years were the Nazis and the Russian communists.

    So it's barbaric when Muslims, Russians, or Nazis set up military bases in civilian areas but okay when we do it?

    Hypocrisy?

    But NATO HQ is a defined base. Unlike the Muslims, they don't set up in a church/mosque. They don't put their troops inside occupied apartments, or store their munitions in and around schools and hospitals.

    And, uh, how many terror attacks of late have been Christians spreading the words of Jesus?

    Yes, and the American militia didn't stand up and fight the British on the open battlefield.

    When you have power disparity between two groups that is that great, you aren't going to have the lesser power lining up to get itself wiped out.

    As for Christian terrorists, the Lord's Resistance Army is on a child kidnapping campaign right now.

    If Christian groups were nearly as bad as Islamic groups, then there would be more than one or two radical groups like the LRA in the world.

    Here is a overview of the LRA:

    So if Kony was really a Christian, then he would be preaching the words of Jesus in the New Testament. If Kony is only using the Ten Commandments(really meant for non-Christians) then he would be more accurately described as practicing Judaism.

    So, you are saying this was an attack on NATO HQ? If so, you are even more ret@rded than the O.P. If no, you are being an argumentative child. Tough choices, but that is what is left.

    Cool analogy. Cannot recall seeing the Americans sneak over to England, and direct bombing attacks on innocent civilians. It must have happened. Otherwise you would not have brought up the comparison. So, if you would, please provide a link.

    I use real words and real meanings:

    Chris·tian
    ˈkrisCHən/
    adjective
    1.
    of, relating to, or professing Christianity or its teachings.
    "the Christian Church"
    noun
    1.
    a person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings.

    Please find a bible (they even have them online) then show me the New Testament teachings of Christ that Kony and the LRA leadership promote.

    Kony claims to be a Muslim. People on your side say I should call ISIS Muslims because they claim to be Muslims even though they violate Muslim tenets. Why the double standard?

    The above post is an insult to the rational mind and the moral soul, and clearly indicates the mental state of the anti-rational mind that posted it.

    Another anti-rational being who can't differentiate the moral difference between a "jack-the-ripper" psycho and a surgeon because both use a scalpel.
