Looking very much like the incident  in Vienna is yet another Islamist terorrist attack. Incredible the amount of coverage it’s not getting, Covid overdose as usual on the news. Islamic terrorists running around a city in Europe with assault rifles yet again, so much for bloody peaceful integration.

Thoughts and prayers. 

 

There is zero interest here for this kind of news. Zero. Its the Elephant in the room everyone is more than happy to ignore.

I doubt it's a case of zero interest and I'm sure that most have full sympathy for the victims, their friends and families, as well as those who have had to deal with the aftermath of such attacks.

Unfortunately discussions on such incidents on here can get very heated with blame being directed towards certain groups. This kind of discussion can get somewhat uncomfortable for many. With a few notable exceptions most don't have the time or desire to regularly get into these kind of discussions with people who struggle to look at situations from a different point of view to that which they hold. 

Personally I despise these kind of incidents due to the direct effect of the attack and how they serve to stoke the anti-immigrant feelings held and demonstrated in the population.

 

Unfortunately I feel that a significant part of the cause of the rise in Islamic extremism in the last 20 years which is behind these attacks is the past and current foreign policy of many of the western governments. It doesn't excuse the attackers or place the blame at anyone else's feet but does offer one explanation of what has lead to them.

I wouldn’t disagree in as much as Blair and Bush literally should be in jail for what they did. 
Still you will find it hard to get civilised individuals of any faith to feel any sympathy for a religion that vents its anger by shooting,beheading,stabbing or burning alive innocents or those of a different belief.

Yet we sell guns and tacitly support the regime in Saudi Arabia.

We sell to anyone Mark as have all previous governments and as does nearly every single country in Europe and Scandinavia. The reply was in the context of foreign policy decisions of the previous twenty years of which Blair/Bush played a huge part.
