The Manchester Bombing.

How sad that the service to commemorate the victims of the Maamchester Arena atrocity, still failed to call out the true cause of this evil.
The Quran.
We learn nothing.
We refuse to stand up strong, and prefer to sing songs about coming together.
The youngest victim, Saffi Roussos, 8, lives on in my heart as a representative of all of the victims, and I think we betray their memories by continuing to deny the evil truth staring us in the face.
Don't look back in anger? I do, and I hope many others will too.

"Calls have been made for a full public inquiry into the role of clergymen in terrorism after The Observer learnt that three more priests were involved with the Provisional IRA at the time of the 1972 Claudy bomb massacre.
One of the priests was the IRA's officer commanding the Provos' North Antrim Brigade. He cannot be named for legal reasons.
The other priests who joined the IRA at the beginning of the Ulster Troubles were Father Patrick Fell and Father John Burns.
Fell served more than 10 years in an English jail over a conspiracy to cause explosions in Coventry during the early Seventies. He was convicted alongside Frank Stagg and Michael Gaughan, two IRA men who died on hunger strike in English prisons.
On his release Fell, like the priest who bombed Claudy, Father James Chesney, was allowed to serve as a priest in a rural parish in Donegal.
In 1972, Burns disappeared from his parish at St Theresa's Catholic Church in the Possilpark area of Glasgow. He fled back to Ireland after Strathclyde police raided his home searching for weapons and explosives. He was given sanctuary by fellow priests but later left the priesthood."
I expect the Roman Catholic priests would say they were following the teachings of Christ...

Jim at 23.26, strangely the divisiveness you mention isn’t in evidence elsewhere. We have all sorts of people living, quite happily, among us but we watch whilst Muslims demand – and receive – special privileges, we watch whilst crimes and ethically abhorrent practices committed by Muslims are excused, tolerated, or concealed - and we watch whilst physical barriers are erected within our cities and public places because we know without doubt that we can expect repeated murderous attacks on the innocent…. and no one, whatever their ethnicity or nationality, knows whether that man with the beard or that woman swathed in her uniform hijab may be considered friend or foe. It should therefore come as no surprise to you that people are wary and mistrusting. If you insist on apportioning blame, allocate it where it belongs - squarely at the feet of Islam. Islam is the author of its own misfortune.
THECORBYLOON, The specious IRA comparison demonstrates an ignorance of both religion and politics. See v_e’s post at 01:25.
And meanwhile Theland continues to denounce other self-proclaimed Christians. So much for religion. Happy days. :o/

Leftist-liberalism is hopelessly inadequate when it attempts to direct itself to Islam, as several people are doing on here.
The first and most egregious mistake is to speak of "Muslims", this alone shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the major divisions within that religion.
Ask yourselves, from what are the genuine refugees fleeing?
and go figure!

Yes I denounce SELF PROCLAIMED CHRISTIANS.
The trouble is, so many pay lip service to the bible and then mix it up with their own rubbish.
For example, J.W.s, Mormons, Roman Catholics, the list goes on.
Only by following the New Testament teachings of Christ can anybody legitimately call themselves Christian.
