It was obvious you didn't but there will always be someome trying to make a situation out of nothing. You don't need to explain yourself. for the record you will be fine .

the monk 1,947 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Why do walkers,train passengers ,and anyone that visits London need a backpack? I've done all three many times and never needed one ! And while I'm on one, why when you see a group of walkers are they always laughing and talking really loud ? Is it something in their bags they have sampled ? Link to post Share on other sites

They have killed more Syrians and Iraqs (of all faiths and none) than they have Westerners - thousands and thousands more. Do you think the largely Muslim populations of these countries agree with ISIS' doctrine? Perhaps we should check with the hundreds of human shields that ISIS is moving into Mosul today. So, you may say that some people in other countries - and to be honest that is an oft-repeated statement over here but actually I've found the people of Iraq and Syria have more nuanced ideas than this - may have additional views on what a 'terrorist looks like' but I don't think you'll find anywhere that would exclude ISIS as being part of that picture. Unless of course you think ISIS properly represents Islam....? Link to post Share on other sites
