^Confirmation from reputable sources, please.

It is unacceptable to list violent deaths that cannot be verified, otherwise you could quite easily be contributing to a propaganda exercise. You do understand all kinds of nutters, including ISIS, plant and promote these things to further their military ends, right? They might be laying claim to something to frighten people into submission, or simply planting nonsense to provoke attack and further death. So you have an ethical responsibility to research the facts, and provide evidence accordingly. And, to be clear, repeating someone else's error or unverifiable claim third-hand is NOT evidence.

Who killed who? In what context? Who is verifying the deaths and their provenance? ISIS? A journalist paid by ISIS? Al Qaeda? Hezbollah? Al Nusra Front? The Iranians? The Assad regime? Iran? The CIA?

Supporting god knows what objectives through unresearched, copy-and-paste efforts is sheer negligence.

^The proper referencing is your job. You take responsibility for your posts. And if you haven't checked, how do you know what is fact and what is extremist propaganda? Do I have to check for both myself and you?

It's completely unacceptable just to copy and paste stuff willy-nilly from some unknown trashy site and then tell others to do the heavy lifting for you.

I picked 4 randomly and they checked out.

Note also that in 2014 the BBC vetted the list of Islamic terror attacks for a single month and found that TROP UNDERCOUNTED the number of attacks by two-thirds and the deaths by half.

That's not good enough? Sorry. Confused

^Fair enough. Don't get me wrong; there is dysfunction galore in those sort of environments, so the real question is why you're posting so few.

But you ought to do some serious thinking. On one hand, we have to wonder why you aren't you posting, say, killings by Latin American Christians. On the other hand, we have to wonder why you aren't worried who the murderers you are listing are working with. What if some of those are working with, funded by or supplied by Anglo-American allies?

Trust none of the information you see or hear; you've got a hell of a lot of work to do to pass the ethics and decency test here.

BTW, do you have the details of the four examples you checked out?

This, to me, is so wrong!


http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/muslim-children-should-not-be-forced-to-sing-national-anthem-says-hizb-ut-tahrir/ar-BBmFBl0?li=AAavLaF&ocid=sl5mdhp

Muslim children should not be forced to sing the Australian anthem and "de-radicalisation" is an agenda of forced assimilation, hundreds of Islamic men, women and children were told this morning.

More than 500 people flocked to a forum in south-western Sydney addressing the "criminalisation" of the Islamic community in Australia.

Organised by the controversial group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT) - the organisation that former prime minister Tony Abbott wanted banned - the conference includes eight speakers.

Among them is Ismail al-Wahwah, the Sydney-based leader of HuT, who was filmed in two sermons last year describing Jews as the "hidden evil" and calling for a "jihad against the Jews".

They shouldn't be forced, they should want to sing the national anthem of their new country. It's not like it's GOD save the queen, there is no religion at all in advance Australia fair.

I'd rather sing God Save the Queen. At least it has vaguely sensible words. And a tune that doesn't make you barf.

Disclaimer: I have been a republican for 50 years. And I'd still rather have God Save the Queen. Hell, I'd rather a Coco-Cola commercial than the vomit-worthy thing we have now. Somewhere in the world there is probably a worse national anthem, but I haven't discovered it yet.

Really? I don't mind it at all, wish they'd sing the second verse more often. My daughters all did at Greenwood PS Cool

I wouldn't mind a more epic sound; something like Star Spangled Banner or God Save the Queen (King), that give chills when you hear it done well. AAF is, well, nice I guess, and it's the Anthem so always good to hear it, but it has that "chosen by committee" vibe to it (think it was a vote or a competition or something, but same thing applies).

Hell, half the people in the UK don't even like God save the Queen. The real national anthems of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are the truly national anthems : These are something like "Land of my Fathers", for Wales, "Flower of Scotland"/"Scotland the Brave", and the majestic "Jerusalem" for England. Northern Ireland might be the only one that would choose God Save the Queen, but that's only because there's not a song called "Better get them before they get you".

As for HuT, the best remedy against these seditious unfortunates is ridicule.

True Mug but they do the children no favour and in fact do them a great disservice.

For me this:

The first speaker, Uthman Badar, asked why Muslim children should be "forced" to sing the Australian anthem, which presents a "disputed view of history". Deradicalisation, the HuT spokesman said, was an "agenda of forced assimilation ... justified by exaggerated fears of a security threat".

Is of concern - what faith you choose to follow or not should be irrelevant - this country has it's issues no doubt - but you are free to practice your faith as long at is is in accordance with the Laws of this land.

They are not Muslim children they are Australian children who choose to follow the Islamic faith (given they are children choose seems a mute point) - the singing of the anthem is a furphy - the intolerance and inability to accept differences is the issue from ALL sides!

I don't believe assimilation in this country means the loss of cultural identity - but neither do we want to have to change completely to accomodate the beliefs of others who refuse to acknowledge the beliefs and rights of their fellow citizens!!

The first speaker, Uthman Badar, asked why Muslim children should be "forced" to sing the Australian anthem, which presents a "disputed view of history". Deradicalisation, the HuT spokesman said, was an "agenda of forced assimilation ... justified by exaggerated fears of a security threat".

Is of concern - what faith you choose to follow or not should be irrelevant - this country has it's issues no doubt - but you are free to practice your faith as long at is is in accordance with the Laws of this land.

They are not Muslim children they are Australian children who choose to follow the Islamic faith (given they are children choose seems a mute point) - the singing of the anthem is a furphy - the intolerance and inability to accept differences is the issue from ALL sides!

I don't believe assimilation in this country means the loss of cultural identity - but neither do we want to have to change completely to accomodate the beliefs of others who refuse to acknowledge the beliefs and rights of their fellow citizens!!


Oh, for sure, Morrigu, this stuff is very serious as it poisons minds. But it is very hard to police against it without making it worse. It should be mocked and derided until it seems so desperately uncool to young Muslims and everyone else that it dies of embarrassment.

Unfortunately, the tendency of their co-religionists to murder humourists, and the fear of inciting hatred against perfectly nice Muslim people (of whom there are many), means that our satirists are afraid to go there.

^ yes indeed!!!

Somehow we seem to have arrived at a place where such deserved derision is considered " racist" or gives those that see " all ... insert race or religion here .... as vermin legitimacy - and both sides then promote and champion violence as the ultimate answer Rolling Eyes
