Was ISIS trying to make a sick, cryptic political statement about Grande's widely known views? ___ The fact that ISIS would want to attack a civilian target, filled with young, mostly female fans, one of the softest targets in the world as an obvious expression of the kind of blood-soaked propaganda warfare ISIS seek to wage.
The young singer Ariana Grande, whose fans were targeted and slaughtered by ISIS is no stranger to political controversy.
She famously shouted, “I hate Americans I hate America. ” in a public place before committed a grotesque act of vandalism.
Her widely publicised views against conservative politicians are a matter of public record. She also has spoken in favour of allowing Muslim refugees into the US and opposed Donald Trump’s antithetical stance on this position. She also once said she worried that she would one day grow up to be a serial killer.

This is part of the reason I don’t like 21st century music, the fact that it isn’t really music notwithstanding. Almost all the artists are leftist pansies.
History books will call this period of time as “The Age of Fools”
Nobody ever said beauty must include brains. There are many, many gorgeous airheads around.
Do isolated outbursts define a person?
Aren’t these similar comments to what parents of kids who wanted to go see the Beatles were making?
Is this the time to address this, just 24 hours after a terrorist attracted kids at her concert?
I would think Grande and her followers have gone through enough for the time being.
Even Jane Fonda never said anything like that.
“I’ve read many Freepers write about the stupid things they did while younger, before they wised up.”
I have read NONE from freepers who posted that while younger, they said they hated America.
I don’t know how to post the actual, but when I saw picture the first thing I thought was...https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+girl+that+i+marry
I don’t either, and I don’t defend those thoughts, if that’s truly what she thinks.
Dealing with the public, and even fans is very difficult at times
Sometimes people act out in an obsessive compulsive manner. They flare up and say something truly stupid, and regret it by the time it leaves their lips.
I don’t see her as a die-hard America heter. If she is, then she should bare the brunt of her publicly expressed beliefs.
I don’t know what the context was. I don’t know what was influencing her at the time.
Perhaps others do.
It is information.
It is information about this performer I did not have (in fact I had never heard of her until yesterday).
I don’t think the article is trying to say she is responsible for the attack, it is merely providing some biographical details about the performer that perhaps people don’t know.
Again, I would not have known it had I not read the article and I would not have known about Grande at all except for the fact that a terrorist attack has just recently happened at the venue of one of her concerts.
All of that said, if the moderators choose to pull it I have no problem with that.
I read this today:
And just then some people were carrying a paralyzed man lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” Then some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Stand up, take your bed and go to your home.” And he stood up and went to his home. When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings.And a few days ago this:
As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he got up and followed him.
And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.”
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.Might I suggest that, of all things, prayer is the appropriate response?
She wants more muzzies and hates the USA. Let’s hope she gets a little closer to muzzies next time.
Insanity is insanity.
Mediocrity is mediocrity.
There is no particular reason why only the excellent should be targets of terrorism. They seek to make everyone afraid.
They lose when we are vigilant but not afraid.
They lose further when we stay sane and they get crazier.
Western countries in general have the right to select immigrants on the basis of how well they will adapt and contribute. This terrorist was born in the U.K. but his parents were immigrants. A brother is implicated as a co-conspirator. Are the parents totally shocked and fully ready to denounce this action? If not, they should all go back.
We need to stop fooling around with logic in the west. This means ostracizing the far left, they are the cause of the madness, if they didn’t agitate for insane causes (ride a bicycle and change the weather, flood the country with refugees, nothing bad will happen, etc etc), then we would not be cleaning up their messes. And they are nowhere to be seen when their ideas go haywire. They are off to start a new campaign, maybe get people to stop going to zoos, or making people sort their garbage into thirty separate piles, or grow their own food in their apartment flower boxes.
You never know where the madness will end. But the real blame belongs to the voters, and the parents who send their kids to the universities that are controlled by these communist mental patients. Close them all down.
Manchester Grande?
I know nothing about Arianna Grande but I did see most of her ass.
Why is it acceptable to dress and act like that in front of little girls, or anyone else for that matter, because you are singing a song?
Women like her is why condoms were invented and why I got a vasectomy. She is a retard but she is cute, so she’d be good for a standard “pump and dump”.
Perhaps the specific comment was an isolated outburst, but rejection of God and God’s law is the foundation of the pop/rock music industry. If I were to see sincere repentance and contrition from Grande (doesn’t she also promote the Sodomite lifestyle?), nothing would make me happier. That said, I don’t see that coming. Women like Grande are wh$res helping to lead others astray. I call them as I see them.
We can and should pray that Grande turns from the path she is on and repents...agree. That doesn’t mean we should not call he out for her behavior and for the poor example she sets for others. It is no different that my perspective on political leaders.
I hope Grade takes a good look at the photos of the scene with blood and pieces of flesh blown all over. Perhaps she should visit those wounded in the bombing and see the loss of limbs and horrific wounds first hand. Obviously she isn’t smart enough to comprehend that those who perpetrated this and other acts of terror don’t care what she thinks and will not be placated by farsical talk of coexistence.
I never heard of her myself before this.
I see she likes doing the fish lips a lot- women- please stop doing that- it doesn’t make you look cool- it makes you look stupid- Thanks
