This was an act of a savage barbarian, the Pervert is on record justifying each and every heinous act perpetrated by these jihadist sick bastards. You are WRONG.
What drives these fucking lunatics to commit such hideous acts is NOT courage or bravery but sheer sickness .
There is NO justification.
In the instance this applies to, I could not agree more but that does not mean that all Muslims are like this. In fact I doubt that even 1% are cast from this mould. I agree this particular act took no courage as with the attack on Lee Rigby or any attack on soft civilian targets ....... that surely is just common sense? There can be no justification for this type of attack. They are carried out by seriously sick people and 'we' need to stop it happening, that is evident to a blind man. But to recognise what they are doing and question why ..... is not condoning their actions.
To take on western forces with just basic hand weapons with no air support, no artillery or tanks ..... is knowing you are going to die eventually ..... that takes a brave man. We condemn them for using car bombs ......... but we can use drones, rockets, Hellfire Missiles , artillery bombardments or drop bombs on them from B-52's that they don't even see coming...... which kills hundreds /thousands of innocents civilians ......... then condemn them for their savagery, whilst exempting our own governments from condemnation for the same savagery............ because our cause is justified? Is that not double standards?
So .....how do we stop it?
