Sick fanatics cheer body bags, page 1

BRITISH Muslim fanatics sparked fresh fury last night by praising Taliban “heroes” for sending our troops back from Afghanistan in body bags. Dozens of homegrown “jihadis” have posted website messages cheering last weekend’s carnage in Helmand province that saw Britain’s death toll rise to 204 soldiers.

The gloating jihadi website, Islamic Awakening, is a forum for Islamic extremism, prompting a slew of vile attacks on the efforts of British troops to rescue Afghanistan from the grip of fundamentalists. The first messages were posted within minutes of the news of the latest outrage in Helmand on Sunday. “Isma’eel”, said: “Man, they really are dropping like flies over there lol [laugh out loud].”

My apologies if this has been posted already or if its in the wrong place, but i was disgusted when i read this.

For crying out loud, we are over there trying to help these people, our brothers and sisters are dying to try and restore peace! And they come out with this tripe??

Bring them home and let the idiots sort themselves out or blow each other up, thats my opinion after reading this.

Oh, and what did these soldiers die for? I don't know, maybe eeh... freedom perhaps? Like freedom of speech?

I've just taken a look at the forums on the website (quick Google search for Islamic Awakening finds it easily enough) and it is really quite scary.

Kufars in Kufr Land indeed!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Afghanistan and Iraq should have been left alone, it's the job of the people to revolt against their evil dictators.

The only reason (and I mean ONLY reason) any government should go into this kind of battle on foreign soil is for self defence. This most certainly wasn't.
It was for profit and strategy.

Then you have to consider what your opinion would be if it was your country being attacked for Oil. Would you feel so sorry for the invading force?
Even then, this is a very small minority of people. Would you really be willing to abandon responsibility for the safety of millions of innocent people just because of what a few nut cases say on a website?

Even so, this isn't even a Taliban issue now, it's an issue of one force occupying another nation. When you see what America and the UK have done in these countries, is it any surprise that there is a fundamental opposition amongst some of the people? They don't support the Taliban in massive numbers, they just see an invading force, guilty of some pretty disgusting crimes against their people and way of life, and by default they'll back any opposition.

I don't agree with their opinions, and I don't support their ideology, but we invaded and attacked their country for profit, so I can certainly understand their hatred, however misdirected it may be.

Unfortunately, now we're there, leaving would create a power vacuum. And the consequences of that are a reality (unlike the false threat that Bush created).

There is one person to blame for all of this, and that is George W Bush.

Finally:
Shocking news just in... War isn't a walk in the park.

Agreed,i have never seen much graphical images on the news...if they did show it the public outrage over *actually* seeing what we are doing over there would be quite large.Course if it's not on the tv it doesn't happen...everyones happy,we are the good guys they are the bad guys.Let's keep it simple.

You're right, the world is polarizing around the conflict.

We who sit in the relative middle ground look at comments like that on both sides and can't understand how people could be so filled with hatred.

But things are moving fast. I worry that there won't be any middle ground left in a couple of years time.
