"A Muslim group has demanded an apology from the British Army after it emerged that replica mosques were being used on a North Yorkshire firing range."

I'd be angry too, replicas.

They wouldn't need to practice shooting at things that look like Mosques if the bad guys would stop hiding in places that look like Mosques, and schools, and etc.

[JacksHereR]

the army is full of berksburkas if they think this report wont get more soldiers killed.

Lets just face facts, if you want a war with muslims they will win.

Do you have any facts to back up your nonsense? Most of the army casualties in Afghanistan are due to IED's placed at the side of roads.

it will because muslims twist any story to a propaganda victory. Already round Oldham and Bradistan young muslims will be talking about what the Kafir has been doing.

Did you hear they shooting mosques bro innit


They were not targets and were never shot at. They made some cardboard cut outs with dome shapes on top to represent a village in Afgan. You can see these from the road as you drive past. But that has not stoped the profesionally offended from getting their pants in a twist. It must be really annoying walking around with sand in your vagina all day looking for something to be offended by.

Really really getting sick of hearing about muslim 'issues'

I can, and I would, along with anyone else of any race creed or colour who came up with something so ridiculous. I'm completely without prejudice when it comes to stupidity.

Right, let us (PH) prove Garlick wrong.

There is a very very interesting debate to be had here.

Let us all keep it civil please.

There is no doubt that the army need to train and be familliar the layout of arena's in which the are expected to fight.

Beyond that, and here's where I'llsound a bit loopy, many years ago I remember seeing a girl who already had a child. We went and visited a farm and I was stunned when her 7 yr old child asked 'What's that?'

Well, ummm it's a cow... you know that's where milk comes from....

It was an utter shock to the poor little kid.

I'd quite our lads (army) to be training in mock ups of Mosques, let's face it... how many of you lot know the typical internal layout of a mosque?

[Taita]

The religious side of it is irrelevant to the Army.

All they care about is:

'What terrain are we fighting in'
'Afghan villages boss'
'Make some Afghan villages up so the blokes on PDT get more benefit'
'OK boss' <picks up hammer>
