Suicide bomber likely.

Who would attack a bunch of pre-teen and teenage girls? Hmmmmm...

God-fucking-damnit. I'm seriously considering checking out the O2 arena in February. This will make life a bitch.

The IRA, of course.

Them and the damned Amish.

ISIS took credit despite offering no proof. What does it say about your humanity when you are anxious to claim the murder of almost two dozen innocent people including children?

Yeah, these are the type of people we can "hug into peace"...

I was pondering this attack today and wondering when we'd start hearing all the "This isn't all of Islam" rhetoric. Don't get me wrong, I KNOW not all Muslims condone these attacks, but at some point they have to actually take action rather than just give lip service.

Two ways they could do this:
1. It's established that even non-extremist Muslims will kill in the name of their religion. Whether they're beheading Christian children, stoning wives whose husbands cheated on them, or shoving girls back into a fire because they're trying to escape without proper garb. We'll call them "hard liners". How about they start taking that violence to people they discover are extremists? Stone them. Behead them. Burn them alive. If you won't tolerate any break from your religion and if these guys don't represent you, prove it!
2. Have a global meeting of Islamic leaders and have them condemn these terrorist acts by saying these people will NOT be rewarded in the afterlife. There's a HUGE difference between suicide bombing soldiers occupying your home land and suicide bombing children in their home land.

I've said for.over a decade that when the bad guys fly the same flag you do, you are going to need to continuously explain yourself, and it has nothing to do with racism.

Well, the MSM has identified the killer, glorifying him.

Meanwhile, thank you King of Jordan:
The King of Jordan, Abdullah bin al-Hussein, has described the attack on Manchester as "evil acts of terror."

He tweeted: "We must all stand united to destroy the khawarej outlaws of Islam, who committed the evil acts of terror in Manchester and threaten our values."

The Kawarej can be interpreted as those who seceded from Islam.
If the king of an Islamic state can declare these acts "not of Islam", then why can't Islamic leaders throughout the world?

Because there are a million "authorities on Islam" given the country in which you reside. Jordan's king is also decidedly one of the more reasonable dudes over there.

I give Trump credit for a good response in his speech on this. And he didn't shit himself at any time while delivering it, so there's that.

He deleted the Tweet once people saw it and started responding appropriately. He's since made his Twitter account private too.

I really wish people other than white people had the ability to be racist.
