Well, to make Ben happy:
Looks like we now have the first genuine act of (probably islamist) suicide bombing in germany
A syrian refugee (who had been living in germany for 2 years and was recently denied refugee status) blasted himself to death in the inner city of Ansbach, yesterday evening/night.
Obviously he previously attempted to gain entry into a large music festival (with 2500 visitors) that took place in the town, but was refused entrance by the security because he lkacked a ticket.
Very fortunate, as it probably would have resulted in dozens if not hundreds of dead, had he blasted himself away on the festival.
A short time afterwards he ignited his backpack bomb near the entrance, killing himself and wounding 12 people standing nearby.

It's the Christians who tried to overthrow democratically elected government of that country and almost destroyed said country in a process - and now you have very deserved problems with refugees from that countryScouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Wow. You just justified mass slaughter. You are a damn vile idiot.
This comment alone is justifying of a ban. You just advocated slaughter of immigrants. I don't care what you say to try to back out of this one. You lazy fool... You have never worked hard in your life. Vile disgusting reprehensible man.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

There are significant numbers of Christians in Syria and many are entangled in some rebel groups, as well as some siding with government forces. You don't know anything about the region.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

It works wonders when ppl take a bit of time to separate what is actually known from hearsay and rumours. There is no evidence to this time for the Munich shooter acting with an islamist/terror bg.
For those who lost track:
18 July: An axe-wielding teenage asylum seeker from Afghanistan is shot dead after injuring five people in an attack on a train. IS claims the attack, releasing a video recorded by the attacker before the incident
22 July: A German teenager of Iranian extraction goes on a shooting rampage in the Bavarian state capital, Munich, killing nine people, most of them migrants, before shooting himself. He is said to have been obsessed with school shootings
24 July: A Syrian asylum seeker is arrested in the town of Reutlingen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, after allegedly killing a Polish woman with a machete and injuring two other people. Police suggest it was probably a "crime of passion"
24 July: A failed Syrian asylum seeker blows himself up outside a music festival in the small Bavarian town of Ansbach, injuring 12 other people. Motive not immediately clear
So for now the 1st is established as terror/IS/lone wolf, and the last of those above may be, but is too early to tell. For the two others, incl. the Munich shooting police have found no evidence so far for an political/terror motive.Blah

In the school explosion in Michigan - one of the bombs placed below the school... did not go off. Saved the lives of about 50 children.
it is quite interesting ... the syrian was intelligent/konwledgeable enough to build his own IED ...
he even was intelligent enough to add screws and other metal pieces in order to create shrapnels and thereby cause even more injuries/deaths
but he forgot the most important thing ... i.e. buying a ticket to get on the festival grounds

Christians, namely NATO, created that mess in Syria, Lybia, Iran, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Balkans... And that's only a recent ones in the regions that are close to my country, i don't really check every single conflict in the world.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Where am I arguing that what Breivik wrote is correct? I think Breivik is scum and immigrants killing each other is what he wants, FFS.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
