You're utterly deluded. You don't even know how Islam functions.

Can you walk us through how bombing is going to solve the problem? Please avoid simplistic computer game analogies.
Apparently I'm naïve so it should be easy.


I'd like to know how you can negotiate with someone who honestly believes that his God has said that he must kill all those who do not believe and that they will be rewarded in heaven should they die whilst killing unbelievers. Note that this also includes the killing of the followers of Islam who do not believe in the extremist mantra.

You don't.

You engage the imam at his mosque, you engage with his parents and his siblings and you treat his community with the respect that everyone deserves.

Same with any group of people whether they are from Syria, Singapore or Sheffield.

Still waiting to here how bombing and 'wiping out' his community is going to solve the problem. I'm all ears.

I was last night utterly bewildered, as I watched an interview of an Expert American Muslim Lawyer, tell us all how the Islam faith works, and what the Koran tells Muslims.
I knew that what their faith taught them was awful, remember, I have, regrettably, lived amongst them for the past 12 years at the home of the 7/7 bombers... Dewsbury, but I didn't know exactly what was entailed (I certainly aint gonna read the thing) but I was astonished by the graphic nature of what is entailed being a Muslim and following the teachings of the Koran, my god the future of this planet is in trouble if this despicable faith expands.
And yes Saigon you ARE naïve to be defending them, you remind me of a flower power hippy who thinks that everything is rosy, and that all nationalities should love each other unconditionally...utter bunkum, wake up and smell the coffee son, it may one day save you life, if like your ramblings, you consider dialog with them to be the right approach.

So you expect the Iman to talk to our security services ?

Gibberish and you clearly either haven't read or understood my submissions.

When have I ever defended Islam? I'm heavily critical of all religious dogma and islam is capable of some of the most offensive nonsense of all. It's absolute tripe, but at least I understand what's going on from their perspective instead of writing entire communities off without thought to the inevitable consequences.

Again, not that I expect the semblance of a cogent answer, how will bombing defeat this ideology?

In order to defeat an enemy, and these indoctrinated morons are an enemy, it is first necessary to understand the problem.
The kind of knee-jerk militaristic response hasn't worked and won't work in the future, so open your eyes and address the problem with intelligence, which is the only way this backward medieval ideology can be tackled.

Everyone is an individual, so you judge and assess on this individual level. You seem to live in a computer game, where sprites are either friendly or the enemy. Why leave everything up to the military or security services? I've bothered to visit mosques on occasion and argue about ideology with imams. No-one died.

But let's bomb them (who?) and wipe them out (where?)

Still waiting for the bombing argument. Must be a good one.

No I live in the real world where I am wary of putting my t shirt that say's "Veteran" on it for the fear of being butchered by one of these Islamic Scunthorpe.
They are brainwashed by idiots.
If left up to me, which it wont be, I would bomb every fool hole I knew where they was.

Stop being so afraid of people. I've visited 45 countries including various muslim ones (shudder) several times. I found Indonesia far safer and friendlier than the catholic Philippines. Turkey was absolutely great and Malaysia is fine too. I've never had a problem with any individual muslim, including the 400+ I've taught and countless others I've met.

You don't have any problem in your local curry house I presume, it's exactly the same elsewhere in the world.

People generally reflect back how they are approached and treated.

SaigonSaddler wrote:dialogue with whom exactly - a moveable feast. The leaders of muslim countries, the leaders of some of the more amenable 'groups', in Britain, muslims of all groups
there is no identified enemy - so why bomb people and create more angry, anonymous miscreants?
what country - all countries, some leaders are problematic - Syria with Assad, so you engage with the opposition
who is the leader - there is no 'leader' in islam, there are people who can exert influence on those vulnerable to exploitation
how do you get round to all the lone losers - you can't, you just have to do the best you can
what exactly is their gripe - poor education, poor prospects, poor choices, a dogmatic religion and a target (us) that keeps interfering militarily, Israel stealing land and mistreating the Palestinians
what is their aim and how do we negotiate do we agree to change our culture way of life - we shouldn't change our way of life, just stop kicking ant nests
my son was born in 1999 and one of his earliest memories is 9/11 he has known no other way of life than under terrorist threat and he never expects any part of his life to be without it. there is no solution - there is always eventually a solution and it always comes through dialogue, the alternative is to liquidate entire groups of people, not ok.
so if you accept it as part of life the best you can hope for is to try to be kept protected - it is part of life at the moment, but you have to be proactive in dealing with it, this doesn't include vilifying an entire religion
who do you think will provide better protection - anyone who doesn't get involved in foreign wars without a clear aim and that doesn't benefit the UK, precisely as related in the Labour manifesto
got example will uncontrolled immigration help or hinder - I don't think anyone favours this
so it is reasonable to be clear about your intentions on immigration Theresa may has been very clear - she's failed in every single immigration target she's set out. FAIL
why wont corbyn be clear on immigration it is simple enough to answer - has anyone ever been clear on this allegedly simple issue. Bear in mind that many terrorists are born in the target country.



oooookaayyyy so thank you for highlighting just what a joke corbyn is suggesting

so we have to talk to all countries - to unknowns because there are no leaders -about what grieves them which seems to be just about everything.

correct me if im wrong but I don't think I have mentioned religion anywhere and I certainly haven't condoned bombing anyone . We should leave that to Blair and his Labour war mongers .

The point I was making was not that the tories can deal with terrorism better than labour but that there actually is no real lasting solution as there are too many variables.

lets just be honest May or Corbyn cant solve this . neither can the global community who could probably run rings around our politicians

this is now part of our lives I mentioned my son previously he was part of the Arthur Terry school Group caught up in Istanbul airport for the longest weekend of my life last year and he was in the middle of gunfire and total crap initially thought to be terrorism until we discovered it was merely a military coup centered on that airport. These kids continued with their trip to provide aid to South Africa the notion of terror doesn't faze them they have only known this way of life this generation don't expect it to change. But they expect to be as safe as we can possibly make it for them.

so if we cant realistically be proactive how do we become reactive

we can control our borders - not the only measure but an important one

This fear is prevalent amongst the labour strongholds in the north who are turning their backs on labour because corbyn is ignoring their concerns

corbyn ignores people who want to know about his targets on immigration

he would not give answers in a recent interview when asked 6 times how many

so if no one gives you a number you have to assume it can be anything from zero to unlimited

I am glad you have stated that no one wants uncontrolled immigration therefore by logic no one should vote for corbyn because he has not stated that he will control immigration

we have millions of migrants ready to enter Europe from Africa so how many will corbyn accommodate how many

why would he limit these as they are potential future corbyn and abbott voters so he will not tell you how many what other reason would he want to keep it quiet

Merkels million will look like a coach party compared

why doesn't he just help his fellow mps and the last few labour supporters out by stating how many

the tories may not have hit the target but at least they have a commitment they have been strong on brexit and freedom of movement they have been clear about refugees from Syria tell me why corbyn keeps quiet about this why does he refuse to be interviewed. we know freedom of movement will be the same as it is now under a chaotic corbyn brexit this is not what the majority voted for. ask him to deny it

if you vote corbyn you are signing a blank cheque on immigration

When someone can show me how the war for oil in Iraq has made us safer, I'd happily vote for the Tory/New Labour consensus which helped destabilised a region and radicallised a generation against the "crusaders". Our leaders have fudge this up - when we no doubt use our fantastic technology to kill a few ISIS leaders next week (probably with our new mate Trump helping just to show how fudge special our relationship is), this will obviously stop extreme Islam for all time.

Corbyn is obviously a treacherous Scunthorpe for pointing out the bleeding obvious.

Closing the gap on the self-servatives though from -24 to -5, so either he's doing something right, or people are seeing through the weak and wobblies. According to Newsnight, it's the tories in something of a meltdown over the last 10 days. That U-turn hasn't done May any favours at all. One of these is going to be leading the country. :|

So, given your pronouncements here, you're perfectly willing to keep bombing anyone, anywhere, as long as they're foreign, Muslim, and preferably radical, as defined by the Daily Mail.

As we have three or more decades of immediate military intervention history to draw upon with regard to Western relations with the Middle East and Islam, I look forward to some justification of this increasingly futile tactic...

Does he though?

I think he has failings as a leader but this sounds extreme.


Maybe extreme but has publicly mentioned his love/admoration/respect for Gerry Adams and the IRA and Hamas. He also wants to scrap Trident and reduce spending on armed forces leaving country without a defence, good or bad depending on your view.
He asks for backing and loyalty from his MPS when he has the worst record for voting against his own party,many labour supporters do not trust him or like him and unfortunatly get wiped out with him as leader at a time when we need a strong 2nd party.

Setting aside that personal attack, what particular policies from Labour are stopping you from voting for them?



A leader who is terrorist sympathiser and will not give answers about immigration

I've already explained on this very thread.

We're fighting an ideology, so we have to be clever about it and not add further fuel to the fire that can be exploited by those already radicalised.
The approaches employed by the British in Malaya worked in the end, compare this to the excessive bombing by the yanks in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

There is a place for clinical violence, but we must also realise that our greatest ally is moderate Islam in identifying or de-radicalising the idiots before they embark on terrorist acts. This includes talking to some people in positions of influence, the way that every conflict is eventually resolved.

I have a number of Muslim friends and acquaintances and their view is exactly the same as mine.This a death cult and we should do all we can to wipe them out...this does not mean, of course,that "moderate" muslims should not be talked to or supported or that we should not try to avoid killing innocent people but when you are fighting a war which we and most Muslims are then the actions you take have consequences that we all abhor.
I am just thankful that in 1940 we had Churchill and not Corbyn because as the bombs were raining dow on our cities and towns we did not surrender or sue for peace. You see I agree with Corbyn that peace is needed in this world but it cannot be peace at any cost. Today the cost would be the mass slaughter of innocents across the globe....indeed we have already seen that in Syria and Iraq and to sit by and do nothing is not for me an option. As a Christian I believe in the concept of a 'just war" and this is one is certainly that.

She had an afro 34years ago which means we can forgive her for her views then (and probably now) on the IRA.

How anyone could vote for Corbyn, McDonnell, Thornberry, Abbott and Watson is beyond me.

I find it odd that terrorism has been spread and inflated partly due to western bombings and invasions into the middle east, so the wise idea by some to stop it is to... do more bombings. :lol:

Personally I'm not against military intervention and I am not a pacifist by any means, but in this circumstance I can't see how it wouldn't make things worse. I'm not sure whether it is already being done to high levels but providing top level reconnaissance to forces like the Kurds who are doing the boots on the ground fighting is what I would look to do. Helping to provide as much help as possible to those doing the fighting, but without risking collateral damage to innocents. However I certainly wouldn't want to be handing out weapons or equipment to any forces in the middle east.

But the larger battles have to come from prevention. Through identifying high risk individuals early, monitoring them fully until an arrest can be made. The only way this can be done more effectively is to increase police numbers and funding, and not to cut them like May did and deem is "scaremongering" - she has certainly been proved wrong in that. Perhaps laws can also be made easier to allow for arrests of these individuals earlier, but a full on sweeping blow to anyone deemed a threat would once again only make things worse as has been proven in countless other countries. I'd also be very careful about disregarding the Muslim community as not wanting or being able to help. Terrorist plots in the UK don't appear to be a rare thing, however due to the intelligence provided to anti-terror services a huge majority of them are stopped dead in their tracks. I wonder who is able to get this information? It is typically other Muslims. Outreach to these communities to help in the co-operation between communities and agencies will only help to make those communities more likely to inform and to influence people to move away from extremism.

Exactly right Jonny. Hopefully there are people where it matters who see things the same way.

The wipe em out crowd will spit the usual feathers of course, but they're reading from exactly the hymn book as ISIS.

Just out of interest Jonny because you probably know more about this than I do - how would you see prime minister Corbyns relationship with the home office and the police given he has constantly voted against security measures

Assume you must mean May flogging arms to Saudi Arabia, then used to bomb Yemen and (somehow) finding their way into the hands of ISIS.

Never backed May and don't think I would ...
