Is there no end to the carnage?

This massacre was carried out by a 22 year old FEMALE, how could one so young carry out such a crime, especially a female?

What do these maniacs want, that will stop them carrying out these riots and killings?

Surely they have now made the point that they are upset over the insults to Mohammed?

Why does it matter that she's a woman- women make great soldiers, every bit as brave as men, they also make great terrorists.

Well...

in the last war, British 22 year olds (males) went out to cause 'carnage' to men, women and children knowing that they themselves had a slim chance of surviving. In fact, I believe Bomber Command had one of the highest rate of losses in the war.

However, they did so for what they believed to be a greater good.

Somehow, these suicide bombers believe something the same.
Obviously, it is difficult to understand what 'greater good' could justify these attrocities as we have a totally different set of Values and Beliefs.

As long as their Values and Beliefs are held by people then these attrocities will continue.

I'm astonished that His Royal Harryness didn't strafe her before she carried out the dirty deed? What with him constantly on active duty and all that? (cough)

you talking about Vegas again kero?

[Kerosene]

Hang on, Zeuhl, I'm supposed to be the sarkie one on this forum - or so I keep being accused?

AOG

If you are a terrorists brought up to believe that you are a soldier in a holy war, then suicide bombing will make you a 'hero' (note the quite marks).

I assume their mindset is much like the kamikaze bombers of the second world war.

If the mad Jihadists get 72 (?) virgins what do female suicide bombers get?

I've always imagined that the dead bomber gets to Heaven for his 72 virgins, only to find that there are 72 Susan Boyle's waiting for him.

[Kerosene]

Duncer,

Perhaps she was a lesbian?

[andy-hughes]

This is the action of a fanatic - normal rules of behaviour don't apply.

Please don't hurt your head looking for a rational explanation for this AOG - there isn't one to find.

I've always hoped that suicide bombers enter paradise looking for 72 virgins and wind up with 72 spotty male teenage computer geeks.

[Kerosene]

sp,

Very funny. But it's not usually your style to crack the funnies - you should do it more often.

[emmie]

the article said she was a girl, no she was not, but a misguided, deluded woman. Shows you what they really think of women doesn't it, sending her in to blow herself up, very skewed thinking, brainwashing.

[emmie]

it's amazing that some can find levity in this situation, how many were killed by these woman?

[Kerosene]

em,

Yes, we can all sometimes find levity in these situations given the fact that there have been hundreds of them in the past decade, and if we were all to go around in Purdah we'd be at the proverbial Wailing Wall for evermore.

Believe it or not, life does have to go on for the rest of us, and the difference between this incident and Manchester yesterday is the fact that the Afghani incident is not only commonplace, it's a long way from here despite our obvious concerns for our own troops - but the Manchester outrage is a rarely occurring tragedy - and it's in our own back yard.

So I think that the vast majority of Brits, whilst feeling great sadness about the two women brutally murdered yesterday, would just shrug their shoulders about the female bomber incident and say "Not again?".

[emmie]

i don't give a monkey's about the woman suicide bomber but those she killed.

[Duncer]

"it's amazing that some can find levity in this situation, how many were killed by these woman?"

Em, I worked in casualty in the Eighties when Northern Ireland was tearing itself apart and the "works" or the UVF, IRA, UDA and INLA were at their worst. We often had bits of people brought in by ambulance and I lifted a man off a trolley one night only for his brains to slide out of the hole in his head, (inflicted by a breeze block,) and onto the floor.

A strange black humour was our way of coping, and I'll wager that you will find this anywhere people deal with death. As Kerosene points out, you can't spend all your life in Purdah, and it was a release for us as much as anything else. That and the drinking.

[emmie]

Duncer, perhaps that is so, but i find the killings of these innocent people just as appalling as the police officers who were killed.

[Duncer]

I agree em, but the joke was about, and at the expense of, the dead bomber, not the people killed.
