I came in from work and saw this, I have been watching how things have developed since, I called that country home for 30 years and now I don't recognise it. There have been shootings and violence from terrorists in the past, I grew up under the shadow of northern Ireland. But a public execution of a service man by beheading in a broad daylight!
I truly grieve for my country tonight. |

It was pretty disgusting from the news reports I've seen.
Soldier returning from his work... Terrorist waiting to assassinate the next target available. Nobody witnessing the murder able to intervene (no legal firearms)... Perp spouting off to the cameras after the murder. Marc

"Nobody witnessing the murder able to intervene (no legal firearms)... "
Exactly my thoughts to a co worker today, if this was the states there is a good chance the attackers would have been dealt with in some way, as there is still a culture of self defence and the defence of others under such circumstances. Here in Europe weapons in private ownership are pretty much taboo even for sport these days. and the population is so out of touch with real violence after a 30 year TV brainwashing that many simply walked on by minding their own business, One brave lady at least attempted to talk them out of harming anyone else, she must have been mad as there was no one going to step in if they turned on her, the bystanders would simply have recorded it on their Iphones. |

I use to be religion tolerant...use to be!!!!! When a religion becomes a threat to the well being of another religion or another race or nationality, it's time to cut out the cancer for the existance and freedom of all....IMO. No one can do that or accomplish that when society today has made law-abiding citizens into the law-breaking citizens when they demand action and protection and are procecuted for defending themselves, there was a time people like these religous maniacs would have been dealt with swiftly and totally and all others would have supported the end results. Life today....sucks!!!!! IMO.

With respect to religion, one should be careful. At one point in time, the Catholic religion was violent. Witness the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Huguenots, the activities in Holland/Belgium area. Then there were the problems in England after Henry/Cromwell changed the state religion.
Excesses often occur with all.

Indeed, but we move past these primitive ways that come with these beliefs, many in Britain are atheist, but baptised as they had no say in that matter.
this decline in the state religion has left a void other religions brought with the immigrants has boomed in. Many churches whose flock no longer exists has been turned into a mosque or temple, One of these religions advocates many barbaric and primitive ways we had moved beyond with civil rights and and science. now we must integrate this backwards and non productive fairytale from the 3rd world into our lives. I for one refuse. |

If we can be threatened and/or attacked by another country's politcal based government and we have and will defend ourselves and our country from that threat or attack, so can we if that threat is religous based and the main source of that government's governing body. So many idiots today are calling for the change of the Consitution regarding the 2nd Ammendment and how it is outdated, I say the 1st and 14th Ammendments are outdated when if comes to religion and the threat today from the religion of Islam and until those two Ammendments are change, we damn well best hang on for dear life to that 2nd Ammendment.....IMO I'm not going to comment further about this subject, I fought for all those God given Constitutional Rights but even I have arrived at the point that I could care less if the muslims and their religion of Isalm should one day disappear from the face of this earth. Some might say that would mean the deaths of so many innocent people....charity and LIFE begin at home in today's world....IMO. |

I seem to recall we've had to deal with a similar fanatical religious based enemy not too long ago, who employed beheadings and human guided suicide weapons as policy of war.......we ended up calming them down with a couple of neat gadgets called Fat Man and Little Boy...just sayin

According to eyewitnesses as reported by the BBC,one of the attackers was armed with a pistol. Another example of "When guns are outlawed,only outlaws(and terrorists) will have guns". Bet that doesn't get reported in the US media. Bob

...And that history is one in which Muslims carried the sword to Europe for centuries before Christian armies took the Crusade to them.
