Incident in Finland

[motco]

As long as the broadcast media continue making such an orgy of them, thereby giving enormous publicity to the jihadi cause, they will continue. Report the incidents in ten seconds on evening news as factually as possible then drop it. Sounds callous? It's realistic - stop giving so much air-time and free publicity to the bds.

It's just going to keep on and on happening. No-one's going to do anything to stop it.

I think you'll find that the police forces in all of the recently affected countries are trying very hard to stop it, but the odds of them stopping all of it are against them. The old adage that the police/security services succeed 99 times and no one notices, but they fail once and they are incompetent/not trying.

I think what he means, and more than happy to be corrected, is when will the ideology be challenged and beaten so there's no need to succeed 99 times and not have to deal with the product of that ideology.

I spent time in Turku a few years ago, lovely place and the Finns are lovely people.

I don't know what they did to deserve this so it must have bee a mentally unstable stateless atheist nutjob. /ph

Two dead but they're not sure if linked to terrorism

Possibly several attackers

Reported shouts of "Allahu Akbar" however it apparently sounds similar to the Finnish for "beware" so could have been misheard

I'm not sure anyone has done anything to deserve this......what is it you need to do to deserve it?

There's many, many, many more than that if you extend the range and keep the same time frame.

Finland... what on earth have the Governments of Finland done to be on Islamic States target list?

Who says they have or there is a target list? Seems to me they don't care who they target, for what reason, in which country.

Since when did terrorists behave rationally?

According to Police, people were chasing the attacker with clubs, sticks and metal pipes before police shot him to the leg. That's the spirit!

That they didn't then take advantage of his reduced mobility and beat the bd to a pulp shows remarkable restraint.

I have found it odd all day that it's not mentioned? Not on the news channels I've been watching. Odd.
24/7 coverage of Spain tragedy, and rightly so. But...

[cuprabob]

There seems to be quite a lot of stuff that has happened in the past in Sweden that didn't seem to make the news channels over here either. Don't know if the reason is that it's because no UK citizens are directly affected.

Awaits the usual PH apologists.

I wonder what the motivation could have been?
