I thought I condemned it by buying his book, tbh though does it need condemning, on what planet is this sort of thing ever justified, it's so heinous does it really need people voicing disapproval to clarify that

Well at least you call it as you see it, JFman could learn from you.

As an excuse it is, Muslims aren't an ethnicity they're a religion

Oh my goodness that is a frenzied attack. Horrible obviously for him but for those who witnessed it also

Not sure what excuse you’re referring to?

I’m talking about Muslims, regardless of ethnicity. Which part of my post is incorrect?

I asked JFman, and he couldn’t find anything!

Yes, but unfortunately not a random one.

Notably you didn't ask any of my questions either. Someone who thinks only white/Christian or secular countries/actors engaging in attacks is justified and others not is essentially on a par with the Iranians.

I can’t work out what your position is!

Do you agree that this is an Islamist attack or not? Simple question. With a simple yes or no answer.

It's apparent from my previous answer to you.

As you can go back and see I merely opined it was an interesting distinction to draw because it implies that being an Islamist attack somehow affects the legitimacy of it. Which of course it doesn't. Well, I'd go as far as saying that but if you could offer a simple - at your level - yes or no answer on whether you agree I'd be grateful.

If it was just a random act of violence, perhaps some solace could be sought that you just in the wrong place wrong time as some nut job and the chances of that ever being the case again are practically non-existent.

But no. There will always be the chance of another Islamist headcase showing up until Rushdie is killed.

Oh no, you’re right, that was exactly my point. Which has been proven many times over.

Not as an “ethnic” group but as a minority group that is predominantly ethnic in make up.
