All this talk of the West creating this through foreign policy is utter guff.
So you really think we'd be in this situation today if those dumb arse Western politicians hadn't decided to support the removal of Saddam Hussain, Gadaffi and Assad and thereby destabilising most of the region over the past 15 years.MrNoisy said:
Yes I do, possibly worse.
We should have done more, that's where we went wrong.
It's interesting to see how many people talk affectionately about characters like Gaddafi and Saddam then slate our own Politicians.
I know where you are coming from but your doing it all wrong mate. We should have done more, that's where we went wrong.

Nobody held them in "affection" for starters [cue the old tired pictures] but they forced stability and yes it wasn't nice.
But they understood their own people and how to control them, something that western liberals cannot seem to fathom.

Exactly, we see now why Saddam and his kind were the way they were, its the only way to keep any sort of stability in the middle east. Fear and force. Nobody held them in "affection" for starters [cue the old tired pictures] but they forced stability and yes it wasn't nice.

OK, he may have had mental issues, but someone has got to him.
Not necessarily.If he had mental issues he's going to be susceptible to all sorts of junk/crap spouted about and available on the net which he may 'feel' aligns what is going on inside his head - even without any direct grooming/contact from another human.

Just to clear it up for the BBC and Guardian - the Ansbach bomber had a video of himself, on his phone, pledging allegiance to ISIS.

I find it amusing how they are playing up the 'mental' issues of the last couple of mass killers. They are using the angle that it wasn't religiously motivated - they just had mental health issues.OK, he may have had mental issues, but someone has got to him.
However, you aren't considered to have a mental health problem if you blow yourself up and kill lots of people for the stated desire of meeting your Sky Fairy maker and being granted 72 hairless virgins as a reward. You CLEARLY are mentally defective if you believe that st.

It is deeply ingrained in their culture. A vicious psycho at the top controlling everyone else. It's how the Middle East has always been and probably always will be.
I think the idea that we can tempt the whole of the ME into adopting a full blown democracy like ours has been well and truly put back into the folder marked 'No fking chance'.

Yer know what it's like....you've had a bad day, and then you get turned away from the only chance you gave yourself to relax that day, an open air concert.
So what do you do. Yes, you detonate the bomb in your rucksack that you packed earlier. We've all been there......

You can really see how many are getting so defensive they are unable to engage their brain
The last 8 terrorist attacks in 2016 alone in Western Europe were directly related to Islam - of course it's fking natural to assume it is another one of them fools when something hits the headlines.
I'm sorry but In the case of terrorism it's Islam related until proven otherwise given the world we're in.

That kind of attitude really doesn't help any side.
