  1. I agree, there is no justification for taking or holding hostages. But clearly it happens. So the question is why? Oh, but trying to understand why is excusing the behavior, so let’s not try to understand why. Let’s just pretend events happen in complete absence of any preliminary conditions. I think we owe it to the victims on both sides of this war to understand why. And asking why is not excusing anything.
  2. IM sorry Trans, what are you banging on about? What ‘foreign folk’? About half of the Muslims in the UK were born in the UK, they are British. Perhaps you think I was somehow referring to those born elsewhere. Or maybe you were just being plain silly.
  3. Maybe, and here’s a thought for you. The events of recent history played a part in the attack which lead to the hostages being in the tunnel.
  4. If you say so. Why does a sports organization have to be profitable. I took part in a cycling race yesterday, 120 competitors, men and women riding together, prizes with zero commercial value and I doubt the event made any money at all. That’s how the vast majority of sport is, be it local bike races, amateur swimming clubs, village soccer teams, the list goes on.
  5. That’s the opinion. I think it way past time for some facts. Why was it deemed never rush Trump in the middle of the night to the Walter Reid Memorial Hospital in order to administer him with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test?
  6. I’m inclined to take him at his word. ’I will be a dictator on day one’.
  7. I’ve been calling him that for a long while now.
  8. Why would you be surprised, you claimed to have done so yourself?! Nice company to keep. —- As explained to you more than once, the law is not retroactive. Beyond showing solidarity with some unsavory types, you were eating your time.
  9. Nor is refusing to consider current events in the context of recent history.
  10. Do we have a verifiable transcript, because I see absolutely nothing wrong with this statement: We need the actual question and the full response.
  11. Yes I am being serious. Neither the OP nor the JC article link to the H J Society source or the survey.
  12. The best way to get to the veracity of a news report is to examine the source of the information it uses.
  13. I looked past the headlines, and found the source, a not liberal think tank with a history of stoking Islamophobia. I absolutely agree, I would not trust a news source, perhaps called for contextual balance, ‘’The Muslim Chronicle’ any more reason than I trust ‘The Jewish Chronicle’ on this matter. But then I’m not putting up either as an reliable source, nor would I.
  14. Read the OP, you’ll find the survey was commissioned by the Henry Jackson Society. Read the link you yourself posted, the JC has based its article on the same HJS survey. I can see you running in circles.
  15. Nothing of the sort Jonny. I would have made the same statement if an Iranian newspaper were used to back an anti Israel argument. The Jewish Chronicle is no way unbiased on this issue and has chosen a neoliberal think tank with a history of Islamophobia as its source.
