Religion of Peace

[Jimbone]

Spreading their love one severed head at a time, this time in the UK.

Two men allegedly hacked a soldier to death while shouting 'God is great' in Arabic before being shot by police marksmen in a London street today.

Terrified eyewitnesses told how the victim was subject to a sustained and brutal attack by the armed men after a car crash just 200 yards from Woolwich Barracks in south-east London.

The two men who carried out the attack apparently shouted 'Allahu Akbar', which means 'God is great' in Arabic, and tried to film the attack, the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson said.

Hacking things should be outlawed.

Islam being defined as the 'religion of peace' is the biggest crock of shit on the planet.

One of the attackers said on film it was revenge for all the ragheads British troops have killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Then the cops put a cap in his ass.

I guess I was wrong. I thought police didn't carry guns there.

Islam being defined as the 'religion of peace' is the biggest crock of shit on the planet.

Islam is not the problem, it's the people who put their own spin on it that is the problem. There are plenty of people practicing Islam who are not nutfucks out beheading people. Every religion has its crazies.

Average rank and file police officers just carry batons, pepper spray and taser guns.

Every police force in the UK has armed response units though specialist officers trained in the use firearms.

There are armed police on patrol all over the place here now mainly in airports.

LONDON (Reuters) - A British soldier was hacked to death by two men shouting Islamic slogans in a south London street, in what Prime Minister David Cameron said appeared to be a terrorist attack.

A dramatic clip filmed by an onlooker just minutes after the killing showed a man with hands covered in blood, brandishing a bloodied meat cleaver and a knife.

"We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. The only reason we have done this is because Muslims are dying every day," the black man in his 20s or 30s, wearing a wool jacket and jeans and speaking with a local accent, shouted in the footage obtained by Britain's ITV news channel.

"This British soldier is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

The attack was the first apparent Islamist killing in London since suicide bombers struck transport in July 2005. The capital was shocked by the bizarre scene of a killer covered in gore, declaring his motive to onlookers.

Police shot the two suspects while trying to arrest them, and the wounded men were taken into custody. No information was immediately released about the identity of the suspects, but two sources familiar with the investigation told Reuters authorities were investigating a possible link to Nigeria.

"I apologise that women had to witness that, but in our lands our women have to see the same thing. You people will never be safe. Remove your government. They don't care about you," the videotaped man said before crossing the street and speaking casually to the other attacker.

I believe Islam destroys the feminine human spirit. Islam deprives girls an education and treats them as "less than" a man. If a girl is raped it's her fault because she provoked the men's sexual desires. Even though she did no such thing, it's assumed she is guilty.

The ragheads have always been obsessed with supressing women. What kind of religion facilitates something as disgusting as “honour” rape?

That's their culture, that's the way it's always been & while I don't agree with it, I don't have to and neither does anyone else because it's theirs and not ours.

Where are all the "good" Muslims speaking out against this atrocity?

We do have a ton of Somalis here.

It's like friggin Mogadishuapolis.

Where are all the "good" Muslims speaking out against this atrocity?

Britain, Australia, the US... Haven't seen any from the Middle East (but haven't really looked either).

MUSLIMS IN BRITAIN:
Meanwhile, the Muslim Council of Britain said its thoughts were with the victim’s family following the “truly barbaric act”.

“Muslims have long proudly served in this country’s Armed Forces. This attack is dishonourable and no cause justifies it”, a spokesman said.

Suhra Ahmed, of the Islamic Society of Britain, said: “This is a horrific, unforgivable attack, the kind that should be purged from our society.”

A Muslim baker who lives near the scene of the killing was first to lay flowers there. Ahmed Jama, 26, said: “Screaming ‘Allah-hu-Akbar’ and killing innocent people is nothing to do with Islam.

MUSLIMS IN AUSTRALIA:
In a statement, Muslims Australia president Hafez Kassem condemned the killing as unjustifiable.

"The attack on an unarmed civilian believed to be a member of the British military in Woolwich is a crime that is condemned and deplored by Australian Muslims," Mr Kassem said.

"My sympathies and condolences go to the victim's family and I strongly condemn the unjustifiable attack."

Islam condemned the use of violence, Muslims Australia's Keysar Trad said.

"It takes a sick and twisted mind to hack another person with a meat cleaver," he said.

"Islam condemns and deplores this violence, as do I, as does every Australian Muslim."

Good, moderate Muslims need to be vocal about incidents like this.

[Jimbone]

Moderate muslims need to do more speaking out before these things happen.

[Cynical Ninja]

I don't know what moderate Muslims can say to stop things like this happening anymore than what moderate Christians can say to stop people like the westboro baptist loonies.

There will always be extremists on the fringe of all religions.

[Jimbone]

True about the extremists, they have persevered throughout history... but at least the westboro morons aren't looking to blow up funeral attendees or hack returning soldiers heads off. They just stand around with stupid signs.

I'd tolerate that from the radicals all day long.

[Cynical Ninja]

Radicalism is getting more and more common amongst all religions. In Burma Buddhist monks have been leading and calling for attacks on Muslim minorities. Whole generations of Muslim minorities have been attacked and kicked out of their communities by Buddhist extremists.

Fucking Buddhist monks on the warpath! The whole world is going completely mental.
