Manchester synagogue attack (10 Viewers)

It's a fairly common name and has various meanings, outside of 'holy war'. I very much doubt they gave him the name with the express intent of raising him to commit atrocities.

Out of all the names why would they call him that

You'd have to ask them, as i understand it though there's a multitude of meanings to the word and meaning as a name

"Jihad is used commonly in Arabic countries, in the neutral sense of 'a struggle for a noble cause', as a unisex name given to children."

Common name apparently

Notice how mr Corbyn the leader of the ‘your party’ hasn’t made a comment either, what an utter wanker that bloke is

Probably been covered, but obviously he has condemned the attack.

tbh while I know everything has to be binary these days and 'pick a side' I don't really understand why its so hard to just accept that several things can be true at once.

Its perfectly possible to believe that Al-Shamie is a complete and utter scumbag who thoroughly deserved to be shot while also thinking genocide is wrong. They aren't opposing views, or at least they shouldn't be.

Its perfectly possible to believe that protests are a valid form of expression while also thinking attacking the police is wrong.

We don't apply the same logic to football. In fact many football supporters take great offence if they're branded a hooligan or coke-head just because some people who support the same club act that way. Why can't people apply similar perspective to other situations?

Making everything a divisive issue for point scoring needs to stop or things will never change.

Brilliant point chief

Well I mean did you see what they named him? Interesting choice for a first name

It’s the same as using Sophie for wisdom or Lucie for light
It means justice doesn’t it

Other than unite the kingdom where everyone spent days out with rulers and arguing over the numbers, but absolutely decided whether it was 110k, 500k or 3m that they were all 100% far right racists. And that's on here too which is normally at least a little more balanced than X.

I think it's more 'struggle' or 'strive' and those can be in a number of contexts.

Sir Keir Starmer praised emergency services as “exemplary” during a visit to Greater Manchester Police’s headquarters.

Maybe you should have waited for the facts Kier?

You know that’s complete bollox don’t you

Er no it isn't. Perhaps she should of just gone to Calais and jumped on a dinghy

 

[Macca]

What happened with the other people questioned? Wonder what role they played. Far right, far left influences? Both have a strong dislike of Jews

He was hardly going to condemn them for accidentally shooting someone dead. The police arrived and killed the attacker within seven minutes of the 999 call - there will no doubt be a huge investigation into what happened, but whatever the outcome they deserved the credit yesterday for stopping this maniac from killing more people.

I heard earlier on R4 that one of the dead was actually shot by the police when they opened up.
