Likewise Oliver Cromwell and the churches. IS doesn't have a monopoly on being arseholes. A huge shame nevertheless.

I don't see a lot of difference between what IS are doing there to people who do this -

ffs clappy, this is a public forum. Some people may be viewing this with children watching. You should at least post that in SC.

EDIT: and it's disingenuous to compare such brutal acts of terror and destruction with IS. At least they believe in something, no matter how twisted.

Right then... what are we going to do about it ? Procol Harum have now joined IS, they're all destroying anything that has a bigsby or looks like a relic, and they're gaining ground. Are we gonna saddle up and get out there or what ?

As a race we suck! This will come to a head at some point I'm sure.

Hey guess what guys.... people used to be barbaric in the past, and y'know what... EVERYONE in the past was fully accepting of it, even back then!! So we don't need to even talk about IS, or even give a shit.. COZ THEY'RE JUST DOING WHAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US USED TO DOOOO!!

... fucking idiots.

Ironic thing is they are all western techies, computer programmers or slackers. I don't see a landscape gardener or farmer amongst them.

Oh, they are they. It's just they're either sat in the van having a lunch break until those 'looks like rain' clouds pass or trying to convince the local Mullah to issue a Fatwa against Asda for driving down the price of milk.

Eradicating history probably makes it more acceptable to repeat the mistakes of the past in their eyes? There is one lesson IS should remember though and that is not to call for a crusade or they'll get their little intolerant asses whipped. I also wonder why money is spent protecting Jihadi shithead family, there are better things to be done with the insane amount of money wasted on this and it could benefit all communities.

Howdy, Stranger!
