Love the idea of you reading articles trying to find something to get offended by.
The fact that 2 people were scarred for life in (what seems) a racially motivated attack - nothing. The fact that their faith is mentioned when reporting it - OH MY GOD!!! WHEN WILL IT END!!! |
|
By:
exactly
|
|
By:
Are there any attacks specifically aimed at Christians to be reported?
I don't think so. Which is why they're not. |
|
By:
but why mention their 'faith' - it is pure stirring
|
|
By:
(what seems) a racially motivated attack
How? |
|
By:
It's relevant because it appears they were targeted purely because of their faith. Not sure why it's stirring. Would have to be incredibly thin skinned to get anywhere within the galaxy of mildly annoyed that their faith was mentioned.
|
|
By:
Not sure why you are asking the question moisok, as you already know the answer.
What is disturbing is why anyone would do this to anyone.  |

In other news
A man has been sent down for 6 months for racially aggravated common assault yesterday against 2 muslim women and The Finsbury Park mosque which saw a man murdered a couple of weeks ago has now been getting death threats posted to it, citing Rivers of Blood amongst other lovely terms. Such happy times. |
|
By:
Remember this happening a few months ago and someone pointing out that it's currently not illegal to carry round acid so if you get caught holding the police can't do anything. Surely it'd be one of the most straight forward laws to pass. Do it now for god's sake.

The largest number of asid attacks in London occur where ? guess?

Guess where the most acid attacks occur in Landan?

London college of science?

|
By:
You highlight a common assault and a death threat pp yet no mention of 22 people blown to pieces in Manchester or 8 hacked to death on London bridge ?
Oh ye happy times alright. |

Are there any attacks specifically aimed at Christians to be reported? I don't think so. Which is why they're not. .... erm... 9/11, 7/7, Paris, Iraq, Syria, the Yazidis, the shop-keeper in Glasgow, the priest in Rouen, Manchester, Brussels, the Coptic Christians in Egypt, Bonbay, Nice, Lockerbie, atrocities in the Philippines, Bali, Al-Shabab, Kenya (recite the Q'uran or die.... could go on ad-infinitum and apologies if I didn't mention them specifically here as they are almost innumerable. The fact that many of the victims may have been atheist or agnostic or of any other religion is irrelevant. As far as the attackers were concerned they did not care so long as their victims were following a different belief system from their own from their own twisted sh1te indoctrination. Hope that clarifies. |

By:
I am sadly just thinking of the campaign against christians by one group. Don't mention the M word or the I word
|
|
By:
You have to realise porky and study are the defenders of the faith - just waiting for the other one to pop up.
|
|
By:
No. It doesn't.
As I intimated, these are all indiscriminate attacks. ALL non-believers, soft targets, are targeted. This can even include other muslims. Hope this clarifies |
|
By:
I must have missed something here study. Surely it is their duty to convert those who don't believe or ............
Isn't that what every good M should do. |
|
By:
So the fact that you can't categorically say that the victims are Christians means that the horrific attack mentioned in the OP is different from the countless atrocities?
|
|
By:
No. It doesn't.
As I intimated, these are all indiscriminate attacks. ALL non-believers, soft targets, are targeted. This can even include other muslims. Hope this clarifies Yet we know these people were targeted solely on their faith even before anybody has even been arrested? |

Cover up!!!
You get massively upset at a local newspaper mentioning a couple of muslim people getting burned by acid, try to divert it to which region etc and apparently it's me covering up? Old - is it a competition? Do we have to reference every racially motivated attack as a game of football so we can see which side is winning? "Yes, their lives may have been ruined, they may have been wholly innocent people with no involvement in any naughtiness but it doesn't matter because some other muslim did something bad so we're allowed this one." Clouseau - to be fair with your (somewhat inaccurate) list you do know that if someone was any way inclined they could point out the number of innocent people killed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, killed indiscriminately based purely on the fact that they're local Muslims dwarfs whatever number you could come up with. |
|
By:
Did I anywhere defend or try to justify any attacks of any sort?
No I didn't. Nor did I compare any with any others. I'm just fed up with this non-stop crap garbage like "It's what every good M should do" If anyone compares or justifies it's some of you lot if there's an attack on Muslims? As was seen when the welsh geezer hired a van for the purpose. Moisok, you live and breathe this stuff. I'm getting the feeling you need help. |
|
By:
PP give you're tiny biased brain (I'm being kind) a rest, FFS.
|
|
By:
It is clearly elaborated in the Quran and subsequent hadiths. The duty of every good muslim is laid out for them.
|
|
By:
You need to understand what makes a good muslim.
|
|
By:
What makes a good christian moysey?
|
|
By:
To be fair. There have been a few calls for reformation but these are Very few.
|
|
By:
This was a car-jacking pure and simple using bleach to incapacitate the driver and totally unrelated to the acid attack, so why mention it in the article? That particular attack had been covered elsewhere at the time it happened.

moisok, this eejit should be shat on not discussed with, A typical Lefty living in the 'FREE WEST' allowed to spout the shyyte that in the many countries he (thinks) he defends would behead him.
|
|
By:
So all good muslims attack everyone else. Is that what you're saying?
It looks like that's what you're saying. Does the Bible say similar stuff btw? Have you read the Quran? If so why? If you haven't then you're not such an expert. |
|
By:
PP. you casually put out so many obfuscating things that are bullsh1t and nonsense that it is like trying to argue with every spark in a firework and deliberately side-tracks the matter in question.
Let's humour you by asking you to clarify one point... how is my list "somewhat inaccurate"? |

By:
the author of this piece is a guy who talked about the west living like animals in a rant on youtube - anyway, he goes on to deny the need for reformation
