You're not usually a troll so don't start now. | | | | | Context, context, context.
Which part of "not sure if it's an outright rule" do you have trouble understanding?
Besides you're still due substantiation of your claim. You are of course free to call anyone "troll" but if you do you bloody better start with yourself. | Quote: | |  | | | 95% of people on this board would describe themselves as critics of religion , what's your point ?? | | | | | | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | |

| | | | | If I wanted to watch alt right videos (which I don't) then I would go straight to you tube.
Here we have a thread about Europe and you post a video by a Canadian lady without any attempt by you to explain how it is relevant to this thread so obviously I am not motivated to watch it?
Of course, Canadian ladies dare to talk about Islam and I dare to choose not to listen until I know the relevance.
I suppose your claim "(sic) Shes doesn't know any muslims!" is another one of your groundless assumptions without you offering any evidence to support it?

Nope, sorry complaining about church bells doesn’t count!
Parnell you and Kriss Kross and Capo, incessantly come on this Forum to post your distaste of immigrants, of which you are all!
Well I still think the only good fascist is a dead fascist! So what, are you a fascist then Parnell or would you have supported them in the 1930s? I assume you would have been on the side of Mussolini and Hitler then. Quite frankly I am extremely glad they didn’t win the war. Maybe you should tootle off back to your Hitler shrine.

Here is a video of a Muslim lady explaining the problems Arab ladies face.
She is from New Jersey so you might think it is not relevant for Europe but it is nevertheless worth watching and she does support Trump's Muslim ban. Video |

He was brought up and raised in their household, with their heritage, religion, beliefs, etc.. He obviously felt a connection to the country of Libya, enough to go and fight there for ISIS.

It seems to me his parents legitimately came over, fleeing the Gaddafi regime, so trying to deligitimise their asylum is a bit poor really. The kid was born in the UK, went to school in the UK and fell into the wrong crowd (who security services knew about, incidentally), so let's not pretend it was to do with his parents' refugee status.

Source
So he was not fighting for ISIS.
The article states "Until a month before his rescue, Abedi was being monitored by UK security forces. The review into the Manchester attack found that, based on the information available at the time, the decision to close his case was sound."
So he was not fighting for anyone!
