JWdaughter: He was a refugee and he knows what kind of hell the people are being put through because of military intervention by the west.
cofty: As opposed to the paradise that was Afghanistan previously?
I read in the Mail that he came from Iran. If this is true then he probably emigrated due to the oppressive Iranian regime, nothing to do with the US.

It was NOT a muslim terrorism action - I see, and the flag this lunatic chose to have displayed in a window just, by chance, was black with the shahada written in white?
BTW muslim terrorism and mental illness aren't mutually exclusive - maybe it's safe at this stage to say that this was a case of muslim terrorism that featured a mentally-ill man?

According to the Daily Mail, the siege has ended with one hostage and the terrorist dead.
My thoughts go to the survivors, their relatives, and the relatives of the dead hostage.
I'm glad the terrorist has been killed.

in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.
huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.
this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.
Sorry, Shanagirl, forgot to reply to you - that great Dane is majestic, and could almost be the horse in Black Beauty.
B_T_D_T - nice photo, are they border collies?

The sort of rubbish and hysteria you guys are spouting is why terrorist attacks work so well in the US - I don't think anyone at JWN is hysterical over this, but if anyone were, so what? Maybe the hostages or their families are hysterical - is this OK with you?
No one knows if this guy is connected with any group or if he is a lone wolf nutter - does this even matter? He forced two hostages to hold a black flag of jihad to a window - similar to the flag of Jabhat al Nusra. He is also apparantly armed.
However I do wonder about the fact that our PM is at about the lowest level of popularity ever and the budget was released today. Coincidence? - It probably is a coincidence. If not, what are you implying?

Also, I've read recently that the allied bombing in Syria/Iraq has caused a truce and a pact between ISIS and other extremist groups, including JN.
These savage lunatics don't distinguish between soldiers and citizens. Holding Western hostages, killing Western civilians or killing Western soldiers - it's all the same to these religious headcases.
They make the GB seem like fluffy little kittens.

The Daily Mail reports that the Black Standard pressed against the window is the Jabhat al Nusra variant. JN are the Syrian branch of Al Qaida.
This doesn't look good. I hope all those held hostage come to no harm and are freed.
1) science and technology appeared as a savior to mankind, yet the overall result points to the opposite direction.. http://aeon.co/magazine/science/why-has-human-progress-ground-to-a-halt/.

humans would bring only ruin if they try to rule themselves without taking God’s will into account
Humans must rule ourselves - God never seems to do anything to help.
Therefore, either God doesn't involve himself in human affairs, or God doesn't exist.
the anglican archbishop of kenya, eliud wabukala has declared that the terrorist attacks in kenya by al shabaab is part of a global war on organised religion.... speaking to a men's association conference yesterday he blamed "militant promotion of atheism" and called on all religions to unite against the threat.. how long until the geniuses at brooklyn towers quotes him as an authority on world affairs, as opposed to the paranoid buffoon that he is?.
.
The archbishop has this the wrong way round. The terrorist attacks in Kenya by Al-Shabaab are part of a global war by an organised religion.
Obviously, this war is nothing to do with atheists.
