It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.
They're all a bunch of chicken shyte cowards without their guns and when faced wiith proper opposition and not innocent people and "Children" they'd run a fuckin' mile
If there is a God may that God destroy their very souls and visit their sins upon their children.

PS: why the fuck do all media organs refuse to use this word? It's always 'militant' or 'extremist' - are they afraid of offending terrorists now?
As long as we say terrorists when the Americans drop a drone on a wedding party, or the Israelis bomb a school.
I hate all this violence and we need to be consistent.
Chippy:
I have very little time for the manner in which the US flexes its military muscle - it is almost self-fulfilling; spend $4tn per annum and you have to use it, even if it means artificially creating conflicts.
Similarly I have strong objections to Israel's disproportionate use of force; but the atrocity on Tuesday needs to be called for what it is - a despicable terrorist act that should be condemned outright.
Agreed.
Would also add that these Islamic terrorist scum are not fighting for freedom, not fighting for a homeland or resisting persecution; they are murdering innocent people for a religious ideal that is viewed as corrupt and a lie by members of their own religion. It's all well and fine being liberal and having sympathy for this group and that group but out here in the real world it is a case of we must destroy all Islamic fundamentalist/extremists/terrorists because there is simply no negotiating with them. We have nothing they want. Their only goal is to kill as many of us in the free West as they can and then get their sick asses martyred.
Walking into a school and mudering dozens and dozens of innocent little schoolkids, beheading some, and burning some of their teachers alive in front of them is depraved beyond all human understanding and is not comparable with anything America or Britain or Australia have done during the war on terror.
RIP to my dear friend Joe Gooner Barnwell who passed away last night. Joe was diagnosed with ALS/MND 18 months ago and fought a brave and fierce battle against that terrible illness, always with a smile and a joke at his own expense.
A few Gooners off here would have met Joe over at The Arsenal with my mates and I. He was a great bloke, an absolute Arsenal nut and a good friend to his mates.

God bless you, mate.
Sorry to hear that mate. Not sure if I met the guy but my thoughts are with you all.

Didn't know him, but sounds like you have lost a good mate DB10, best wishes to all.
