Apparently (great word) there was another daughter from the same family who was stopped at the airport from flying the day before..
Otherwise, we could have had a mussy bakers dozen... |

naydam you are surely trolling. Yes, they may well want to live in a more islamic manner. If so there are several places I could think of straight away before settling on one that is a warzone.

Hard to think of anywhere more Islamic than Luton.

Indeed, those in Syria must look on longingly at their own little slice of UK Paradise.

It does rather beggar the mind why they would go all that way, when Lutfur Rahman established his caliphate a decade ago not far from them.

In further reply to points made: NO I would not like them living next door to me. And YES the Nazis have been slated for 'it' ever since...you8 don't see the same happening to Daesh? Where are you looking? I see animosity to Daesh pretty much worldwide!
Why is it that, because I expressed curiosity as to the reasoning of the family members (other than the young men), you feel the need to be so insulting? If any of you don't wonder what the attraction may be...fine. But there is no need harangue somebody who does wonder. Is there really any need to accuse me of 'respecting' Lee Rigby's killers when that is so obviously NOT what I said. What these Islamic State fellas are getting up to is no more than a rowdy party when you compare it to track records of the British/Germans/French/Spanish/Ruissians/Japanese/Americans/Chinese/Vietnamese/Mongols/Romans/Huns and uncle Tom F**king Cobley and all! They want their own state...and there is only one way to get it. They will have to fight for it just like EVERYBODY else did. But I still wonder why the old folk went to Syria...I would guess that they were confused and tricked into it. I might be wrong. THEY might be the instigators. |

^^^^All just my opinion, of course.

You realise your stance helps the daesh. |
|
By:
you are a typical excusenic - trying to deflect and confuse
just say you support the terrorist organisation and its ideals. You will feel much better. |
|
By:
But that isn't so. I don't support anybody.
Just out of interest, Mobo, what is YOUR main complaint against Daesh and how do you think they should proceed? |
|
By:
Sorry, Mobo, I forgot to ask. Why do YOU think this Luton family has gone to Syria?
|
|
By:
I see animosity to Daesh pretty much worldwide!
Ever watch the BBC? |
|
By:
Ever read any UK newspapers?
|
|
By:
ISIS, IS, Deash, Al Queda, Taliban,
These muzzies have more names than I've had  |
|
By:
The BBC say they won't call them Daesh as it might offend them..
The mainstream media is absolutely terrified of them.. |
|
By:
They were called Daesh on the BBC programme that I was watching on Tuesday.
|
|
By:
I don't like being called a liar..

By:
you are nearly as dangerous as the people who carry out these acts naydam
naydam the voice of reason but you do not understand that we are up against unreasonable people I would include you in that and the fact that your stance indirectly supports daesh. |

He's already been exposed after his defence of them burning alive the captured Jordanian pilot.

01 Jul 15 15:28 "Feared" to be in Syria according to the BBC. Why "feared"? I for one couldn't give a monkey's. ^^^^ 20 minutes after the thread was started. 7 posts and 30 hours later, and he's still on this thread. |

By:
I believe that, in the case of the Jordanian pilot, I passed an observation that it should not come as a surprise that IS might have something rather 'special' lined up for a foreign pilot who bombed them with impunity I also pointed out that similar mistreatment awaited British and American bomber crews, should they be captured by the civilian population. I also pointed out that soldiers would generally show little mercy to any flame-thrower operators. All of these trades lead to pretty horrendous deaths for the victims.
But, as nobody made any valid comments to the contrary, I assumed we'd heard thenlast5 of that, Wesdaq. Would you care to point out where you disagree with what I said and I will do my best to explain. I eagerly await your yapping response. |
|
By:
Sorry, I forgot to ask...Are you sure the footage was real? It looked like CGI to me!
 |
|
By:
as with naydam
I see napalm and flamethrowers as part of the answer |
|
By:
In reference to the Jordanian pilot he was bombing their country,so as sad and extreme as the punishment was, it was a consequence of his actions.
The deaths in Tunisia, there are some who say that tourists flock to the beaches and the females wear very very little in terms of clothing,again this is totally against their beliefs in how females should dress and behave. I am just pointing out two reasons how extremists can justify death and murder.It may be alien to ordinary decent people,but that's the way they operate. In my experience the nature of some people from the middle east,is to over react to what many of us would regard as a difference of opinion on a subject,they will often get extremely argumentative and volatile. Different folks,different cultures and customs. |

Mobo. Sorry, I don't understand your last post. I don't understand 'as with'.

LaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaughLaugh ......................... LOL at spelling, the forum's foremost rabble rouser for stalking and hanging on to my every post! It's very flattering. Btw, will you be attending the march at Golders Green tomorrow? Will you choose to show solidarity with your kinfolk? Must be a real conflict of interest for you. What a dilemma. |

^^^^ From the poster who appeared countless times on the CMAT reinstatement thread. Having rants about somebody who wasn't even here. Why will it be a dilemma for me? I've never been on a National Front, BNP, EDL or Britain First march. |
|
By:
Are you not Jewish?
|
|
By:
Yes.
Does that mean you expect me to go out and kill muslims? |
|
By:
Not much good for your reputation as a rabble rouser.
|
|
By:
My reputation in the real world is just fine.
You stick to trolling, and stay safe. |
|
By:
Stick and stones.
How very dull. |

By:
Sticks, I think you mean.

What do you think, duh.

You're missing a '?' at the end. |

Well done!
Just testing your diabetes hasn't started to affect your eyesight. |
|
By:
I'm diabetic?
When did that start? |
|
By:
Thank heavens for that. The family has joined up with IS and feel "safer than ever".
Good job all round.... hope they left a forwarding post office so we can forward their pensions and benefits although they might get their Job Seekers Allowance put on hold whilst they are out of the country. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33393628 |

I'm more worried about the diabetes that Wesdaq says I have.
