Tunisia attack: at least 30 Britons believed to have been killed
Guardian ^ | 6/28/15

Posted on 06/28/2015 2:55:19 PM PDT by aquila48

At least 30 Britons are understood to have been killed in the beach massacre in Tunisia, it emerged on Sunday. Informed sources said the eventual figure could be even higher.

The official British death toll is now known to be much higher than originally reported, because of the time taken to confirm the identities of those killed. The process is being overseen by a British coroner. Due to the nature and location of the attack, and the numbers involved, the process has not been straightforward.

One problem is that many of those killed on the beach were wearing swimwear, and not carrying documentation that would identify them. Another problem is that, in some cases, it has taken time to find relatives able to give a visual identification. Some of the bodies have had to be identified through alternative methods, such as using dental records.

Many of those killed were actually British Muslims.

Tunisian muslim hotel workers formed a human shield to try to stop some of the victims from being killed

Many of those killed were actually British Muslims.

"Three generations of the same family were named among the dead on Sunday. Nineteen-year-old student Joel Richards, his uncle Adrian Evans, 49, a gas services manager from Tipton in the West Midlands, and his grandfather, were all killed in the attack.

Carly Lovett, 24, a photographer and beauty blogger, Sue Davey and Scott Chalkley, a couple in their 40s, and Lisa Burbridge from Whickham, Gateshead were also confirmed dead.

Trudy Jones, from Blackwood in Gwent, south Wales, was named by her local MP. Jim and Ann McQuire from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire and Bruce Wilkinson, 72, from Goole, East Yorkshire, were also killed."

Brits routinely go to places like Turkey or Tunisia for vacation, so it’s not impossible that none of them were Muslim, though the odds are that some were.

of the 15 named there don’t seem to be any muslims

of the 6-8 shown and missing, all are elderly or middle aged white Briton, not muslims

the killer deliberately chose his victims and he was not looking for muslims, apparently looking for white middle aged and elderly foreigners

What a brave Islamic hero, eh? Shooting old people on a beach in their bathing suits. A real combat jihad hero (sarc)

Muslims killing non-believers isn’t violence, it is them practicing their freedom of belief.

The most prudent policy would never knowingly do business with any muslim entity, country or person.

People who are indoctrinated into religious indifferentism. It's hard for us to imagine, but many people believe that all religions are essentially equivalent.

And between TV, Facebook and Us Magazine, they haven't had the time or interest to do any research into it.

I work in an international business and work with several Mohammedans. One guy seems religious but genuinely kind, despite his religion. Another guy seems to be non-practicing, and the woman always looks at me like she wants to rip my throat out.

"Muslims killing non-believers isn’t violence, it is them practicing their freedom of belief."

I expect Chief Justice Roberts and the rest of Obama's Supreme Court to make a ruling affirming the right of Muslims to murder non Muslims because the Koran says they can do it. And it will be illegal for a non Muslim to defend himself against the attack because that would be denying the Muslim the right to practice their religion.

I'm currently reading James Clavell's book "Gai-Jin." Back in the day the The British would have went on a killing spree like the natives had never seen before.

Things change.
