Please select one or more of the following to distract and divert conversation from the actual issues under discussion:

The perpetrator had mental health issues.

The vast majority of Muslims are peaceful.

I know a Doctor who is Muslim and has saved 1000s of lives.

Islam is the Religion of Peace and these people do not represent Islam.

The West has caused all this by attacking Muslim countries.

It's all about the oil.

Anders Breivik.

Israel.

The Far Right has provoked this.

It is cultural and nothing to do with Islam.

A woman was abused for wearing the hijab on a bus in Burnley.

Western girls dress like sluts and are gagging for it, anyway.

It was a sexual emergency.

It is written in the holy book and therefore is the law.

Women travelling alone are could break down in the middle of nowhere and need a male relative present to protect her virtue.

erm... I'm sure there are a few more and this will become a valuable resource for many. Please add to the list.

A few other possible obfuscations to add to this vital resource :

1. Brexit has caused these tensions.

2. Did you see that the leader of the EDL was in London visiting the crime scene?

3. We must not let this incident lead to Islamophobia.


I think these obfuscations, when combined with the excellent examples in earlier postings will be an invaluable database for the likes of IAN Mohammed and Chit Chat's 'Defenders of The Special Faith'.

What? No mention of Donald? Surely a most shocking omission, as I`m incessantly told by lefties that he`s responsible for all that is wrong with the world. Is this, like all the rest of their boll0x, not true?

We've always had terrorism.

Guy Fawkes was a Catholic.

We condemn this attack and while it is still too early to speculate on the motives, our thoughts and prayers are for the victims and those affected.

Another few old chestnuts to throw in to this foul stew of obfuscation, the first used only yesterday by one of the Chit Chat Defenders of the Peaceful Faith :

1.  "America is at greater threat from her own people (e.g. gun-owning college students) than from foreign religious extremists"

2.  "Britain suffers more deaths every year from road traffic accidents than from terrorism"

Perhaps the Chief Obfuscators of Chit Chat might like to throw in some of their preferred examples of obfuscation. Let us learn from them.

Yes, I saw 'Newsnight' last night as well. Utterly disgraceful, and as ever in total denial of the primary terror issue.

There is this strange grip they hold on the television news media.  Diametrically philosophically opposed to Daesh, yet actually supports the cult where they are bred.  Most odd.

Cox was on the radio early doors.

'Lone wolf' apparently so that's alright then..

'inspired by international terrorism' WTF?

Surely 'inspired by Mohammed's call to die killing infidels' more appropriate?

We await 'he was poor, uneducated and a victim of police surveillance'...
