Sep 27th, 2014 - 10:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0Cameron is right when he says, that if circumstances force him to take action in Syria, he will do so.
He is also right, when he says if does so, he will come back to parliament to explain and justify such action.

There is a new 'Jihadist Law' coming according to Dizzy Theresa May. It will be aimed at the British Jihad’s who are not content with their lot and disagree with their parents about coming to Britain. Perhaps we will kill them on return from them killing others, but somehow I suspect we will stop at telling them 'they have been very naughty boys'.

What is this? Support for peace? Support for non-shedding of blood?
This is what Aureliano wrote:
“Nuke them out of orbit.
That plague is even here and they are plotting to kill the president, Pope Francis, police agents and anyone who opposes them.”
Are you, reality check, now going to show objectivity and demand these posts t be removed. They are CLEARLY INSTIGATING violence and bloodshed.
WILL YOU?
I bet you won't, because you are an intellectual dastard.
I find a sign of the genocidal hubris of Europe and North America, that the prevailing mindset there now is that THEY CAN ATTACK, BOMB, KILL, AND MAKE ANYONE IN THE WORLD SUFFER, BUT THE ATTACKEE MAY NOT RETALIATE. WTF?
I stand by my statement. This is WAR. You want war Europe and North America, then you should get it. War is suffering, is death. If that reality is too impolitic and unsettling, maybe you should not bandy about its use. Maybe you should not be so quick to go bomb a place with no international authorization, no authorization from the countries in question.
I repeat it is war. You EUians and NorthAmoans have been way too sheltered about the reality of it.
You think bombing any nation outside Europe and North America is target practice, that it is fun, that it is something to laugh and make jokes about. Children die, mothers die, sisters die, homes and mementos are blasted away. You people relish that apparently, so long they don't strike back.
Europeans and North Americans do not deserve to be called human.

Just for clarity. I am not an 'Arab-hater' and I do not want to kill all Arabs.
I despise these crazy fundamentalists that want to kill others due to their insane interpretation of Islam. They are not religious people. They are muderous thugs that seek to repress, murder, rape and terrorise ANYONE that does not agree with their twisted outlook, including other Arabs. If Argentina had the courage to stand up to them, then they would start killing Argentines. Argentina is still a mostly Catholic country and therefore a natural enemy of IS. Argentina should take this seriously too.
The only way to stop people like this is to kill them.
And they must be stopped.

I considered you to reasonably intelligent, if a little narrow minded.
Sure it is hard to kill an ideal but it can be contained if the majority of the proponents are dead.
You wilfully refuse to accept that if the USA and European and Arab allies do nothing, then one day this evil will visit your shores.
Who would protect you then? Cristina? Or your castrated military?
Only Europe stands between you and Sharia Law. Tell me how you would cope.
I won't accept that crap about oceans.
It didn't stop 9/11 nor the Jewish killings in BA. Did it?
You need to put aside your distaste for Europe and realise that Latin America is doing nothing to stop these jihadi nutjobs.
This is your future too.

Argentina has the Atlantic Ocean defending it from Jihadists and very few if not a couple of dozens of ragheads in the country and just one Mosque. You fail to see that we still dont have the same kind of political correctness and patronising laws like in North Western Europe. And we would not tolerate them long before they even reach the same level of outragous advances they have gained in Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Britain and France.
Once they got us with our pants down in the 1990s doesnt mean to say they will get us again.

The crews are well trained in missions of this duration and it is no great problem for them.

I am sure they would like to plant their flag in a country rich in resources that just happens to be the Pope's home country .
The disenchanted and angry youth of the villas would be a fertile recruiting ground for extremists .
Furthermore , now that there are so many planes sociales in place , they can breed and multiply at everyone else's expense , the way they do in Europe .
Iran is stiff poor and plus they have already tried doing something of sorts with Chavez's Venezuela but failed. The KSA is already investing in countries like Ethiopia and Kenya for its future food supply and they have already sent in millions of their own to colonize Europe. Argentine society is far more close and much less kind to foreigners like the ones of Europe. It would be almost impossible for a massive Muslim input in Argentina to settle in.

Its naive to take geography out of this.And travel and trade will be far more expensive in a few years. Proximity to the African horn and a already growing and expanding Muslim component in Europe will be the most significant drivers of international politics.
Just look at where ISLAM is at war with today aside from Iraq and Syria... And its all in the periphery of the Muslim world all over the Mahgreb, Sudan, Central African Republic, Somalia, Afghanistan, Xinjiang China, Russian Caucasus region, Yemen, etc.

Nature's only rule is survival of the fittest via evolution.
I suggest you 'get with the program' as the Yanks like to say.
Time to evolve and accept responsibilty for your place in the world. You can't be a nation of petulant teenagers forever.
“we would not tolerate them long...”
Yet you tolerate Kristina, yet you have tolerated fascists in the past. Your record of doing anything at all when others oppress you is not a strong one. I have little faith that Argentina would do anything at all.
Equally poverty, ignorance and hunger are the breeding grounds for these fundamentalists, just look at the madrasses in India and Pakistan.

C'mon, CD2
YOu know this argument is fundamentally wrong.
These particular Muslims are militant, invading sovereign territory and imposing their laws and their will, on the native population.
The legitimate governments of those regions have asked for assistance. There is backing from other predominantly Muslim nations “in the neighbourhood” ( for the nino's sake).
This is not a US, UK, or EU, initiative.
Invasion, and human rights abuses are not “ok” just because it happens. elsewhere.
We're talking rape, murder, and torture of civilians, women and children, not 'forcing people to read the Koran'.
Have you no compassion or social conscience?

You accuse the UK of being weak in the face of hardcore Muslims but you say, oh no don't judge them, they have rights.
You accuse the UK of exporting terrorism, yet you talk about land borders and oceans. How many land borders does the UK have with the countries mentioned.
In fact what external land borders does the UK have?
If Muslim extremism can cross the English Channel or the North Atlantic, why can it not reach Latin America?
In January of this year, I purchased a refrigerator from a Syrian owner of an electronics store in Merida, Venezuela.
He seemed like a nice man, and a tough business man, but what do I know of his family? Maybe his sons are fanatics?

I think its more to do with your own twisted liberal mind that it is hard for you to see things from another more realistic and cyncal point of view so you have to make such a confusion between apples, oranges and peaches that we can already have a delisious carribbean fruit salad made for us.

I buy my clothes from a Lebanese shop owner. So??
I dont know about the Syrians in Vzla, but I find it funny that you reference him when you must walk among thousands of Muslims in London everyday???
What Im saying is that London is looking pretty pathetic climbing on the back of the US and play toughguy in the Levant but is scared shitless in its own streets and even dares to tell Israel how to confront with the terrorists.
UNBELIEVABLE.
You are not going to improve the situation on the ground by bombing IS. And you are certanly not going to defeat IS without giving massive benefits to the Kurds and Turkey is going to be hit hard by this and KSA will resent the new Kurdistan. And on and on it will go.
When are you ever going to understand this???

No one is scared here. Occasionally cautious, but no more than when the IRA were causing a little local bother.
I referenced the Syrian guy in Venezuela to make the point that there are many Muslims in many parts of the world.
Some moderate, some fanatics.
Maybe the Latin American muslim fanatics just don't have the money to travel to the deserts of Persia. Maybe they are just waiting to strike later in Latin America when they have conquered Europe?
(Haha! )
I just can't see Latin America coping at all.
You say bombing those murderous bastards in the desert won't solve the problem at home. Ok,
1) why can't there be a two fold approach? ie: do both? What would you know about what action the UK is taking at home to deal with the internal threat? You know nothing of the this because the British are very discreet.
2) you have yet to offer an alternative except inaction
3) Argentina desperately wants to be a global player in a globalised world but is quick to dismiss the complex issues as someone else's problem.
Come on, what is your solution?
Good luck with that 'the oceans will protect us' thing.
That is exactly what they used to believe in New York.

Only by birth rates you are doomed to become a 2050 Muslim 40% country, in your own city Mohammed was the most used name foor babies in 2011. And immigrration rates keep growing in the UK by each quarter.
I have already given you the solution leave them alone to kill each other but dont let them in in your own country.
Its as simple as that.
Unfourtunety you are beyond that point by now as a country.
Do you need further explination??? That you cant understand this very simple and basic concept is due to the falacious and naive understanding of yours that Islam is a religion like any other with some odd extrimists here and there.
You want to know tomorrows headlines for the middle east ?? Just pick up its history books.
History and geography will proove your arrogant “modern world thinking” as a total failure.
As I have explained the only ones who are at war with Islam are the ones who border it or thee ones who got involved with them and lt them into their borders.
And one thing more sweety.... My thinking is anything but typical Argentine.

How can I argue with someone who is irrational?
Oct 02nd, 2014 - 08:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0That is impossible.
Your beliefs will only be challenged by time and I am willing to wait. You have no idea what it is like to live with so many recent large immigrant communities because no one really emigrates to Argentina anymore.
When you only read the bad articles on a subject then you of course will have a skewed version of reality. I come across Muslims every single day in my life and there is no problem. For every radicalised youth that is disaffected with society there are thousands that aren't.
In places like Argentina, Venezuela, Russia and China; disaffected youth are recruited by the government against a perceived common enemy (usually the west). The same happens to some disaffected youth in Muslim communities. However a couple of hundred people from the UK, US or Australia going off to fight is hardly statistically significant if you consider the size of our combined islamic population is 6 million.
Argentina has a Muslim population double Australia's. And their growth rate isn't as quick as it was now. Birth rates always fall to the average eventually.
Islam is going through a crisis. This crisis is playing out mainly in the west because some Islamic values are coming up against immoveable western values. Friction will always occur but eventually this friction will settle down. It has been the same for every other major societal change in the west. Women's right, native rights, racial equality, gay rights.... there is always friction.
The west adapts. That is why is continues and can't collapse. Because there is no monolithic nor single way to do things. Australia, the UK and the US have absorbed cultures and religions from all around the world are we will continue to do that. Disaffected youth, a murder here or there or even a war will not change that.
It hasn't before.
But Australian immigration policy is far more different to the European one.
Oct 02nd, 2014 - 11:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0You can spout all that PC rubbish. Yawn....
But massive uncontrolled immigration eventually has changed local values, cultures forms of governance of a country or region many times in history. The only thing new its that it is the West that is suffering from this process.
Jewish settlers in Palestine after WWI like it or not. American and english pioneers in the Territories of Mexican Texas, the Barbarian immigration into the falling Roman Empire, and there is heaps of other cases.
Muslims have far larger birth rates than local british and european ones. They are destined to become 40% muslim by 2050 only by birth rates.
History is against your own lala pc beliefs.
You asume that immigrant input always adapts to western values and way of life always..Why???
The first waves of immigrants in much smaller numbers do, but when more and more comes a process of ghetization and enclavization begins and immigrant culture and values gets exported and imposed on the locals.
And Islam has being in its own 30 years war since most of its existance, its not something new. And even before the existance of Islam the Middle East was on continual tribal war.
That is the problem with you lefty liberals. You dont know history. You dont know how to intepret it.
“Straight line extrapolations.”
Sure. Do you think that intelligence agencies and geopolitical analysts dont look at history to know what is going to happen?

Spanish fighter jets illegally invade British airspace over Gibraltar
SPANISH fighter jets illegally entered UK airspace to fly “across the bows” of a British airliner in a “reckless and dangerous” stunt over Gibraltar
Spain refuses to let British military jets fly over Spanish airspace on the way to Gibraltar even though they are partners in Nato, yet they think it’s fine to enter British airspace illegally and potentially distract an airliner as it is trying to safely land on the Rock.
“It’s time that the British Government sent the Spanish Ambassador packing back to Madrid
We are fed up with the bullying and intimidation from Spain, and it’s time we showed we are no longer prepared to put up with it
http://www.chronicle.gi/headlines_details.php?id=34734
British response.
Last night a Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are aware of the incident on September 19. We are reassured that there was no risk to safety caused by the activity of the jets.
“We are continuing to examine the incident to ascertain whether it was within the lawful right of passage.”
