"It must be something else."
What - Is it to be found in the Koran?
You didn't ask me to put up your "cultural implant" statement - I assume you don't want me to. Will think about whether I want to go through all the rigmarole of you saying you didn't say it, then saying you only said it because Jack Straw made you do it...... yatta - yattata!!
"Sorry, Jim. That is just one point of view. You happen to agree with it. Others don't."
Didn't say I agreed with it - just put it forward as a valid point to be considered in attempting how somebody could carry out such a brutal killing. It makes sense to me and it has been suggested at the beginning of this thread when it was populated by human beings and not racist would-be thugs who would drag themselves away from their keyboards and join their mates on the streets if only they could summon up the balls to do so.
It has been fully discussed in the press and on the media for a long time now that a cultural group who has been persecuted at home (Britain) for generations and who has seen their land/s of origin attacked and plundered by western forces in order (among other reasons) to secure oil supplies, should go to horrific extremes to fight back.
It happened in Syria where a people are being massacred by an ex-ally of the West while the world stood by and watched and did nothing - fair game for any nutty religious group!
Nobody is asking you to take anything on trust, just pointing out that there are many other valid and widely recognised facets to these events which you people won't even discuss.
What it boils down to is that, for all your lip-service to there being "good Muslims" you would rather make their lives more miserable than they already are by blaming their religion - you really have teamed up with the 'Dark Side' - pity, I thought you hasd more about you!
By the way - the "others" here who you say don't agree with it are reduced to the two who have made horrificly bigoted statements about cultural groups - here and elsewhere - enjoy your company.
