Gunman kills three at Jewish museum

[Maurice Picarda]

It's an oddity of language which is almost never raised in good faith.

Its the same as 'you can't call me homophobic because I'm not scared of gay people'

 

[frogwoman]

'You can't call me racist, Muslims aren't a race'

The EU is to blame for this. They knew anti-semitism was on the rise years ago, then commissioned a report into it because they thought the far-right were to blame for the attacks. When they realised it was due to muslim anti-semitic attacks they coincidentally decided against publishing the report because it wasn't up to their usual standards.

I certainly would think twice about gunning people down in a museum if I knew the EU had published a report on the matter.

 

[frogwoman]

Have they arrested someone then?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I suppose it is technically possible that the owners of the museum had not paid gambling debts to a violent syndicate or that it had been targeted by someone who just really hated museums - collating information and material about stuff and displaying it to the public, the bastards.

I'll go out on a limb here and propose that there is likely anti-semitism involved, though. Call me premature if you will.

UKIP will sort this kind of thing out.

Pedantry: the last hiding-place of the bigot.

If you had only considered what the consequences of such a report would be. Limiting hate filled Islamic sermons which seem to be televised in the Arab world on satellite TV and available in France and Belgium. Addressing the same type of hate speech in mosques and challenging radical views. Is challenging radical opinions and hate speech not a valid step wherever it happens, especially where sick fucks gun down little children??

Yep. Ban this filth. It's totally doable. So let's do it!

An Islamic gentleman has been arrested.

I very much doubt it is being raised in good faith here either.

This has all the hallmarks of the PLO, the Philistine Liberation Organisation.
