Ukraine claim that underwater drones successfully attacked a Russian submarine moored inside Novorossiysk naval base.

( Some random jottings ); This is not a simple matter. It is a fact thst Israel's actions in the West Bank and Gaza provoke retaliation, conversely Palestinian related terrorism provokes IDF action. It's very much chicken and egg. It is a fact that some Islamic theologians preach violence and Jihad, yet predominantly the victims are themselves muslim. Radicalisation is facilitated by the Internet, and for some people the loudest and most accessible voices are those preaching violence. Until a way is found to effectively counter and shut off the channels promoting such ideologies as ISIS this circular process of violence and retribution will continue. Intolerance is not exclusive to certain interpretations of Islamic scripture.

At the same time find an slternative to Manning at LWB.

Why do they never make a realistic Christmas TV advert, where it is piissing down with rain?

Donnie shows his class in commenting on the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife; "The president said that Reiner, a 'once very talented movie director and comedy star,' had passed away 'reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease' known as TDS - or Trump Derangement Syndrome."

Godwin's Law strikes again.

"Roll on up, for my price is down! Come on in for the best in town! Take your pick of the finest wine! Lay your bets on this bird of mine! Name your price! I’ve got everything! Come and buy! It's all going fast! Borrow cash on the finest terms! Hurry now, while stocks still last!" Jesus was referring to the usury of the money changers.

Merchants and money lenders.

I'm just trying to gauge opinion. I admit that in my experience I haven't personally known many muslins, but I have never thought that they were anything other than normal people, with everyday problems.

That's a stretch.

So, in your ooinion and given your definition, what is the answer ?

Genuine question, what proportion of muslims in the UK aren't integrating ?

As far as I can work out, Jesus was a liberal, and probably would have rocked up left of centre on the political spectrum. My post was a response to "the liberals can't or won't see it". Surely the point about "liberals" is that they are beng tolerant towards others, and choosing not to tar all of a particuler ethnic/religious group with the same broad brush.

WWJD ?

There is definitely a link between diet and mental conditions; a gluten free diet can certainly help in limiting the symptoms of some personality disorders and depression related conditions. Though gluten is not the causative factor it can exacerbate underlying issues.

I agree that religion rarely seems to be a motivating factor in the hundreds of civilian shootings that occur annually in the USA.

If all the terrorists wanted to do was massacre a group of people in the name of their God, was it purely coincidence that they attacked a group of Jewish people ? Why not go further along Bondi and shoot a load of surfers ? Their warped minds obviously contrived a link between what is happenening in Gaza and their desire for a quick route to Paradise.

He blamed Australia's decision to recognise a Palestinian state.

if opposing Netanyahu is anti-semitic, ( his words ), then is opposing Starmer anti-British ?

A well known former football hooligan from Bristol died after falling off a ladder whilst hanging a flag from a lamp post. You would think a painter and decorator would be used to using ladders.

I got one this afternoon, what does that say about me ?

yes

No you're not.

Yep
