As usual, high-on-meth f*ckwits who thinks this is how Islam should be are making fun of us actual Muslims again.

 

If my dream was true and if I were transformed into a tiger dragon Hybrid like Tigrerra from.Backugan I would've nuked these f*cks from existence.

 

Islam was never like this you retarded, brainless no life man-children excuses of human being pricks!

Maybe he's just an Arabic speaking criminal!

 

Taking hostages = terrorist. That's sort of the definition.

 

It actually isn't, though it is something terrorists often do. It is only terrorism if the motive is political.

I AM SORRY ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE VIDEO, BUT MY WEBCAM IS ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH.

I don't want this to into a polictial thread but i actually blame bush for this...

 

He had to show daddy up and go back into Iraq and the first 6 months they fought iraqi troops than after the next 9 years it was all Islamic fighers.

 

We can't say 100% if Bush hadn't invaded Iraq if this would be happening now but it might not be as strong as it now.

I am very certain I know one of the people still trapped inside, they work at the store.

 

It's just one blow after another.

Although the police probably have the names of all of the hostages it doesn't hurt to call them and let them know that you might have one of the name of the hostages.

So I could blow up an office building just for teh lolz and it wouldn't be considered an act of terrorism?

Man, there are some non-Muslim terrorists who are going to be offended by that!

If Osama Bin Laden was still alive then none of this would be happening.

Hm. That does seem to be accepted usage. I find it to be too narrow, but I'm not going to argue with a dictionary.

 

From my perspective, once someone took hostages, the resolution of conflict can follow a counter-terrorist playbook. Motivations aren't important here. Just the fact that person in question took hostages and tries to use them as bargaining chips or shield to achieve his goals. Such a person needs to be destroyed first, with as little collateral damage as possible, and then we can sort through his motives to determine if he was, in fact, a terrorist.

 

But yeah, I guess, technically, referring to him as terrorist is a bit premature, since we don't know motivations yet. Though, it does seem likely given circumstantial evidence.

Because it isn't true. Just because the media and politicians are not using the word terrorist to describe acts of terrorism perpetrated by white people (Christians!) doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. It's all just propaganda and brainwashing. Cliven Bundy and his ilk are the perfect example of domestic terrorists in the US.

The hostage taker has been identified as Man Monis aka Sheikh Haron.

Ok, so now we can call him a terrorist, right?

 

 

The more you fight with crime, the more peaceful you are.

Wow. Talk about a fanatic.

From his website:

 

Islam is the religion of peace, that's why Muslims fight against the oppression and terrorism of USA and its allies including UK and Australia. If we stay silent towards the criminals we cannot have a peaceful society. The more you fight with crime, the more peaceful you are. Islam wants peace on the Earth, that's why Muslims want to stop terrorism of America and its allies. When you speak out against crime you have taken one step towards peace.

Can't argue with that logic. Because it's f*ckin' pointless to argue with a moron.

I wouldn't imagine they are dealing with a violent guy. He's always protesting against violence, that's his thing. This is another protest although a very big one, he probably also wants to talk about what he says is his unjust persecution by the government over the years too. Probably why people have been able to run out the door, I don't think he's going to shoot anyone.

You don't remember Norway?. That was a terrorist act against Muslims. It can go both ways, never say the European/Northen man isn't capable of extreme violence because they can just as well and then some.

Not only your statement is groundless, since you can't possibly know what my religious beliefs are, but is also quite insulting. You don't have any right to call me a ''islamophobe'' just because you missed the point of my words.

I am here referring to terrorism that is driven by religion obviously. My statement wasn't informed to discriminate anyone. I simply wanted to hint how islam, one of the most spread and by norms arranged religion, is very manipulative when it comes to living active religious life comparatively to everyday life. It is the most often abused religion and, unfortunately, often used as marionette for recruitment of terrorist groups.

He is suspected for the murder of his former wife and is currently on bail for that, oh and there's a couple of sex assaults too..

 

Sounds like the M.O of a 'not so violent man'.

Lol.

>States that Islam is a religion of peace.

>Ruins its name by killing ransoms just because people have different beliefs.

 

 

To make it even worse, all three major religions (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) are all connected - all the prophets came from the Abrahamic line. So with that with mind, ain't that means that those who follow Christianity will be just like us Muslims? After all all of us believe in the same God, just different names and different Holy books.

from dailyrecord.co.uk - Here's another file photo we have of Man Monis.

A message apparently sent by Monis in October to members of the Muslim community
and published on his personal website voiced support for non-violent activism.

"Islam is the religion of peace and a Muslim should be a peace activist,"
Monis wrote in a letter he signed "Sheikh Haron".


"Islam is against oppression and any unfair violence. Islam is against terrorism.

"As I have repeatedly said earlier: 'this pen is my gun and these words are my bullets,
I fight by these weapons against oppression to promote peace'."

Phrase whatever is your point you're trying to get across more clearly then. The only thing to take away from your initial statement is ignorance and you're going to be called out for that.

Blanket statement not representative of the facts. Furthermore it's not religion driving most of these "religious" attacks but political motives cloaked in misrepresentations of religion as it is widely accepted today.
