Acts of Terrorism megathread

Oh? Russian Orthodox nationalist types are probably not more numerous in Switzerland.

[Tonitrus]

They are people, so yes, they're dangerous. I would hazard a guess that the crime rate among Russian Orthodox is lower than the Russian population at large though.

People just suck.

The news keeps saying that the ethnic cleansers in Burma are "Buddhists"...that karma should be a bitch.

There are plenty of Russians with nationalistic tendencies all over Europe. Not to mention right-wing nutjob types supported by Russians.

Probably not, but Tyr conflating all Christians and talking about stuff in his vicinity is just Tyr's general lack of precision and free association posting, not whataboutism IMO.

Personally, I blame the Soviet.

Bomb exploded on a London underground train.

Not much happened though, a few burns and a few in shock. The bomb was a plastic bucket in a Lidl bag, harsh times for the terrorists.

[The Brain]

Brexit will protect against German terrorism.

Seems like the man of peace who assembled it botched it up: it did not fully explode, luckily.

I'm not sure I understand that line other than to make it sure it's clear one is a douche.

[Tamas]

Is that based on something in the actual sentence, or just a general conclusion on me?

Well, Tyr was wrong again.  They aren't more competent

One of you may be a douche, but it's not Tamas

Has there been any confirmation London was anything to do with Islamic extremists yet?
Do recall the most recent terror in the UK:

'London is lost', claims alt-right snowflake doing literally everything ISIS want from him


Alt-right snowflake
A terrified little man-child with big opinions is saying precisely what ISIS want him to say, according to sources this morning.

As police reported an explosion on a tube train at Parsons Green tube station was being treated as a terrorist attack, alt-right nutjob Jack Williams told his thousands of social media followers that the nation's capital is now 'lost'.

He told his YouTube followers on a swiftly recorded hot-take, "ISIS has won, London is now a complete no-go area because libtard do-gooders are too worried about virtue signalling to actually do what's needed, which is to ban Muslim immigrants and send the ones already here back where they came from.

"I am red-pilling an entire generation into understanding that this is what's needed," he concluded, before he was shouted at by his off-screen mother for not putting his rice crispies bowl in the dishwasher.

An ISIS spokesperson spoke of his pleasure at Williams' video efforts, telling us, "Having Londoners turn on the Muslim community is quite literally what we want you all to do.

"The odd bomb or car driving into the public isn't going to defeat a city of nine million people – we know that, we're not idiots. We do it so the frightened little boys among you will do our recruiting for us.

"So please, continue getting angry at all the immigrants, the Muslim communities, and blame them for our actions, because right now that's the only way we get the holy war we desperately crave.

"We've tried recruiting Muslims ourselves, but it turns out the vast majority of them actually quite like life in the west, and much prefer it to our medieval interpretation of the Koran.

"So our only hope now is by triggering racist simpletons into attacking Muslims for us. On that point, you should all be following Katie Hopkins; she talks an awful lot of sense."

It was intentional, since the far right loves to group all muslims together and tar them all with the wahabist nutter brush.

And I agree that is irresponsible and very bad. These strike me as reasons not to do it to.

[Razgovory]

If only it was limited to the far right.
