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.

Those who were bombed by the Germans hated them.

And if the IRA were still bombing you would hate them.

So, you love evil?

No, they aren’t.

But then, I have learned that on FR, the knowledge of modern day Britain is laughable and pathetic.

No, I don’t, Einstein.

My point was that its stupid to hate an entire people for the actions of some.

Really? Then you haven't done too much studying of Islam!

Hatred and murder is part of their 'religion'.

Einstein.

Actually I follow British events quite closely.

Their 'tolerance' of Islam has led to it actually taking over portions of London and a British soldier being murdered in the streets by one of the defender's of the 'religion of peace'

I could make that argument for much of Christian history. Until fairly recently in terms of 2000yrs, a history drenched in blood and crusade. Oppression and hatred for those who didn’t follow the orthodoxy.

Any religion has the chance to go toxic. Christianity did then, Islam now. Maybe the UK historian who said recently Islam is in its ‘middle ages’ is correct, maybe and hopefully it can come out of this horrible time and like Christianity, regain peace. Sadly not in our lifetime though.

We HAVE to fight this war as much to cleanse the religion of Islam of its toxicity as we do to protect ourselves. Islam is not going away, so it needs to be cleansed by force and death if necessary of its hateful elements.

If you knew the UK closely, you would know the myth of Muslims controlling London is a myth. Certainly some groups are TRYING to do so, but its a myth they run London or even major parts. At worst, they are a social cancer that regularly gets jailed.

Yes, Lee Rigby was killed. By two men, not one, both now jailed for a whole life tariff, one already confined for life in a mental asylum.

And haven’t Muslims rampaged in the US, on an army base no less. Funny how the UK gets criticised when our Muslims go loopy and kill, but you don’t when yours do. I suppose its much easier to bash the Limeys and the Yooros instead of looking inwards.......

Most of the violence you speak of has been from the Catholicism sect of Christianity, which is a mixture of Babylonian paganism and Christian teachings. That's why Catholics burned bibles in the past, they knew they had little to do with God's Word. True Christianity has been the Rock spoken of by Jesus, one having the Holy Spirit, knowing that Jesus is the Son of God, and trying to do as the bible teaches. It's not Queen of Heaven Semiramis boloney, praying to saints boloney, dressing up like fish-god Dagon miter boloney, vicar of Christ boloney. That has always been the gall of bitterness as Peter himself told Simon Magus, Magus being the true founder of Catholicism, where we get our word "Magic".

Because the people just stood and watched. It's the whole right to bear arms thing that is not law there. Hopefully when something like that happens here, there would be someone that can do something about it.

You still don't get it, no on is 'bashing' the British.

But rather pointing out the fact that Islam is a direct threat to the West, as Western leader's continue to protect it.

The essential difference between Christianity and Islam is that no where in the New Testament is one authorized to kill innocent people.

In the Koran, Islam is at war with all those who are not Islamic.

Pfft, the Uk is like here, A once great country gone.

Where is the media over here mentioning this? I guess battle flags and rainbows are more to the liking for the media here.

Most of us Brits are not pansies. Nor dhimmis.

If there is a bizarre silver cloud from this, maybe the UK public will finally get it and support military action vs ISIS with bots on the ground. We cant keep fighting with some air attacks and some SAS.
