HJ would appear to be highly incorrect in his assertation. Islamic groups are responsible for the vast majority of such attacks.

Correlation does not imply causation, as you well know .

Isis are effectively a doomsday cult with the intent of starting a war against Iran, in order to fifil a prophecy of establishing a caliphate and having a land war to usher in the end times.

The very idea that someone's religion could be the primary reason why they are such horrible cunts is completely unfathomable to them, so they have to cry about Islamophobia like as if it's just a coincidence that the average modern terrorist is nearly always acting in the name of one particular faith.

I had the shower and was ten minutes late. I even remembered to get dressed. Luckily the boss was 20 minutes late so she was none the wiser. I am terrible at mornings. No matter what I do, I just can't function adequately before 2pm.

Conor McGregor Burns Down Jose Aldo’s House As Mind Games Continue

“I will consume you like the affordable biscuit you are,” McGregor said as he jumped on the table, then taking the time to produce a picture of Aldo’s wife and subsequently urinating on it. This was disrupted however by an over eager fan who attempted to get McGregor to urinate on him.

Laughing maniacally at this point to raucous applause and chants, McGregor added “she’s dead Jose, upon your return to your flavela a beaten man, you will sleep alone like some sort of unlovable cucumber that cannot find itself a suitable salad”.

I've no problem with that comparison. Fundamentalism is, by definition, people taking their religion exactly as seriously as it demands of them. Islam is a particularly egregious form of religion. That's why Islamic fundamentalists are so nasty.

Looking for link showing that it is not healthy and cant find one. Is it OK as alcohol probably kill germs?

The metal of the trophy will kill a lot of stuff too. Silver chalices with wine in them are passed around protestant churches every fourth Sunday and nobody gets sick from it.

Is this true?

Fun fact - the second coming of Jesus is important to the end of times for IS, as he will kill the "fake Jesus" who almost leads Jews to victory against the Caliphate. This particular hadith (prophecy) has the fake Jesus - ad-Dajjal - born in Iran and leading Iranian Jews against the Caliphate. But other than the general requirement for jihad, and the considering of Shiites as apostates deserving death, the main focus has to be to the West as this is where the victory over "Rome" is to occur.

There was a really good recent article which goes into depth about the religious aims of IS which I learnt a lot from when I read it and I recommend it (it's long):

What ISIS Really Wants

http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2015/02/what-isis-really-wants/384980/

The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here’s what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.

Agree.

For me it seems that religion was (2000+yrs ago) a way of providing those answers (amongst other things including rallying peoples,'controlling' them etc) to our unanswered questions. All you need for almost all religions is that small but vital word....Faith!

The advances of science since then has slowly but surely knocked the 'myth' or at least much of the myth out of most of those unanswered questions!

Friend's ballsed up his flight and lands 3 hours before me tonight, but doesn't know Dublin at all. Don't really want to send him out of the airport to try meet later. Somewhere for him to grab a few pints and hang on or not?

SPOILER

I'm loving it.
Flash's only problem is he is pretty much invincible in the comics. It'll be interesting to see how they keep him vulnerable in the show

I think it's pretty clever, the older Z's deteriorate (or rot) over each series.
Thus they get slower and you get to kill them in new and exciting ways (power hose being my fave so far)

I Know a few people working in Dunnes Head office as buyers, they would have done time with all the big players over the years, Tesco/Aldi/Musgrave etc and they would tell you unanimously that Dunnes are by far the nut cunts to work for, total scumbags dealing with their staff & suppliers.

My head is done in on Ryan Air site! I am trying to book my mother in . She is getting the free allcoated seats. I can obv only book her in for the flight going next wed and will have to wait till I am there to check her in on the way back as its 7 days before you fly etc

I have the option ticked to get free seat for the 8th but how the fuck do I get her boarding pass for next wed. I didnt get an email , when I choose reprint boarding pass its all greyed out as I cant book her in for flight home. I fucking hate that cunting site!

You can pay in advance for that privilege or wait till 7 days before you are using the return leg fro the free option.

You actually answered your own question in the first paragraph !

I have mine purchased as I need to be guaranteed a seat beside Mia.

Anyway sorted it. When the return flight pops up I was supposed to click check in later. and then the boarding pass for the 8th is generated. She can use the App on the way home ffs

The old decrepit one's would not catch me even with my dodgy knee whereas the early spritely ones would have easily caught me . The key to my survival would be to move somewhere isolated like the Sporting Emporium and wait till they decay/slw down a bit.

If it was 3 days in London i would go the free route and take the chance you may not be sitting together, but with a 4.5hr flight and the hassle of looking for a printer on holidays i have just paid in advance for the seat, its holidays, i dont need that added stress.

My parents are heading here on Tuesday for a week. I paid to get them checked in for way over as I had to print the boarding cards and post them and they were nervous about leaving it till the week before.

I printed in work but wont be in after they arrive, are you saying that you can check in just with the app and have the boarding card on screen? they both have smart phones..

I have a principled objection against, say, Christians, implying about that religion: the virgin son of our god rose from the dead after three days and we used it as a premise to set up a church of pedophilia, and to set back the progress of science and even health, but your god sounds like the real weirdo and you do slightly odd things but not things that are actively harmful to other. Get your act together scientology.

No its actually good. A good account of what goes on with interviews from people who saw sense and got out. You should definitely watch it
