Go read the news. London just had some major crap happen. I'm praying that our UK members are safe.

I missed this thread.. I was prolly not looking for it.

There was a few more threats around Manchester a bit after the London stuff. I doubt my lil town will get attacked because it bears no significance. But I can't help but wonder how many more terrorists are waiting in hiding.

EDIT: Yeah, we got warnings going out to all the mosques over here asking the muslims to report any extremist activity.

Amen to that m8. Nuking the Middle-East?? :eek: U have got to be kidding me.

But anyways, as stated before, this isnt really the thread to discuss these things in.

I wish everyone in the UK a lot of strenght in dealing with this.

100% of the attacks on english ground by terrorists we have suffered since the war on terror started, are by extremist muslims, living inside the UK. Not people from the middle east. In fact I am waiting for the day when a white muslim commits such an act, a muslim without middle eastern heritage, and blows peoples black and white view of the world apart.

Put yourself in the position of the terrorists who attacked London for example. Say the whole middle east got nuked. You would still be sitting nice and comfy in your flat in Leeds, making home made bombs. The only difference is that you would be a hell of a lot more angry, and so would several million other muslims who would begin to see what the extremists mean when they call us evil. Hell, if we nuked the middle east I'd consider taking up arms, and I'm one of the tree hugging hippy pacifists you so despise.

All I can say is thank God most people in the real world dont feel like some of the people here. And thank God the people in change of our countries realise that world politics is more than just an enlarged game of coyboys and indians.

Im sorry if this offends anyone but it's my opinion.....

That part of the world has been at war constantly for a long time now. For a people that that say their religion is a peaceful one...well....thats yet to be seen. I don't think the attacks will stop. There will always be someone willing to kill just to try to prove they are better, or right. *They disagree with what their neighbor does.* *So hey, KILL EM!* "I have the right to decide weather they live or die because I'm right." "My religion is the right one, so if they won't believe that then they die." "I don't agree with my people having American Rock N Roll shirts, DIE!" "........on and on and on and on. The only way to fight these pansies is to not let them change your life based on what they do. If it's my time to go, so be it. But if they think they can scare me with their attacks......<B <------------they can kiss it!

For anyone in London who lost someone or had to experince this attack. I am sorry and I hope all is well or getting there.

exactly. They think that the way we live is wrong and the way we live has a name, freedom. They disagree with the fact that we can go out and buy sweets, bread, milk etc and they can't. So what do they do about it? they bomb our country...well at least that's a positive way at looking at it :/
Do you see George Bush + Tony Blair bombing their country BECAUSE we don't like the way they live? didn't think so...

UK News - They have just reported the identities of the terrorists - it appears they were 4 late-teenage men living with their families in the UK, they have it all on cctv...

This just shows that terrorism isnt about Us and Them, but about twisted ideas and religious fundamentalism. Blowing up the Middle East (Again!) would only add fuel to the fire.

I can also totally see where you're coming from Cuzza, cuz there's something terribly wrong with our system...


It is us and them. Just because you think you know who we are attributing "us and them" to doesn't mean that you are correct in your assumption.

Us = Western Societies and it ideas that people should be free have self autonomy, religious freedoms, the right to choose who they want to lead them.

Them = Extremist Fundamentalist Muslims who believe anyone who does not agree with them is an infidel and must be converted or killed. Any muslims who are not like them is worse than an infidel is even worse and must also be killed and subjugated. Want all "muslim lands restored to them(including Spain) and sharia law instituted in all of these places. Them also includes the clerics who preach this extremism and governments who support and harbor them. Don't forget the people who are willing to strap bombs to themselves and blow up innocents, or enjoy beheadings and those who tell these terrorists to do it. I'm probably missing a few other them's here.

Most of THEM are in the middle east. This is the area that needs to be changed. Killing them, cut their funding, destroy the gov't's that support them, convincing everyone else there that they are bad and not the ones to support; these are the ways that will reduce THEM. This is how things work. To think that by attacking the middle east it won't stop until every last individual there is dead is to not understand the world. Unless you think Germany, Italy and Japan are all lifeless craters now. They were also THEM at one point too you know.

Trashing the middle east doesn't solve anything. In fact it does the opposite. Looking through this thread i see some things that make me sick. Not just the atrocity itself.

The attitudes of people.

You think we should trash the middle east. What would that solve? That just puts us down to their level. Down to the level of Mussolini and Hitler.

Oh and if any of you think im on there side, think again.

I could have lost an entire part of my family. Including a 1yr old daughter.

He's right. This is a topic about mourning those who were attacked in London on Thursday and not about what we should to deal with the problem although that is another big issue which deserves its own thread.

Actually, Buzz, I never said we should all just go hug trees... the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq will overall end up well, I think, but that's not to say more countries should be invaded at this moment in time... it's a great way to get even more terrorists. Governments need to stop supporting terrorism, yes, but all-out warfare won't necessarily help the Western world achieve that goal.

Nuking the middle east would solve nothing except fuel anger and kill innocent civilians. Not all people over there are terrorists, and if you nuked the countries, innocent, good people will die.
