Crusaders #18
For those not aware the Crusaders were originally a small warrior band of monks who assisted travellers on their way to Jerusalem from Europe and the middle east. Later this vocation was taken up by most of Europe, mainly the French aristocracy, dont believe Hollywood and all the so called goody goodys they were supposed to be. However this shows what sort of brainwashing these fanatics are put through in their quest against the infidels as we are known. This is a war we are in, and must be way behind in our propoganda when these buff heads are given history lessons, probably by someone who obtained a degree in history in Europe. Cheers John Sabourn

john the people that are brainwashed into thinking this is a continuance of the holly war are the one telling the young radicals to go and kill themselves in the name of allah. and yet the same are using mobile phones watching television radio not some dope with his head in his hands on a Matt in the sand how anyone can call themselves a leader of a faction out to kill innocent people by blowing things up and murder mostly their own people. the leaders must know that there is a missile with their name on it who would want the job? the crusades went on for a few hundred years and yet nobody won then the same now your right we should concentrate on our own boarders but we cant it against foreigners humans rights and of course the race card if we don't let them in we don't govern ourselves anymore we live by others rules?jp.

World War 3 has already started. Them and us,
.
I would like to know where the arms, weapons, ammunition and explosives come from, how does it get to where it is.
They had a lot on display they. Find the source of all these logistics them bomb them off the face of the earth.
If they are British, then they are the ones that Cameron and Hague are supplying to Al Qaeda in Syria.
On Al Jazeera TV this morning it showed that the factions that Cameron and Hague are supplying Military Equipment to, is Al Qaeda, it has various factions under one umberella.
So this lot in Algeria are also part of Al Qaeda, is some of our Tax Payers financed Equipment being used by them???
To kill British workers.????
Shame on you, Cameron.

Governmenst supplying arms to those they may also be fighting is nothing new. Making munitions creates employment, sending men to war creates employment, sending envoys to try to solve the problems creates employment.
Man has been fighting over religeous issues since cocky was in the egg, somehow I cannot see that changing any time soon. There is within any community a percentage who will go to any form of war because it is intheir DNA. Some conflicts are of the most rediculous nature and very often caused by some minor event. We had two world wars supposed to fix all problems, since WW2 more soldiers and civilians have been killed than were during WW2. But ius it the governmenst to blame or their advisors, do the advisors have a vested interest in a war continuing, do they have shares in munitions companies??


Happy daze John in Oz.

Not wishing to be a nay sayer nor appear a disbeliever but could someone please tell me why it is always stated that rectals like this lot are 'Al Queda' ? Plus why are people saying the situation with what is going on in Syria is Al Queda led-based etc? The former I doubt very much, sure they are terrorist & opportuniststhough to my knowledge they have not said they are in any way associated with or are Al Queda, it is just lazy press who find it too easy to say that? The latter most of us know does have some of these types involved, however it is by far the minority. I reckon it is just lazy to say this & easier to blame the phantom Al Queda. Hey Capt. Kong Mr. Vague is irritated with his non de plume, feels it is ill deserved (: Richard

Hi Richard,
Al Qeada is just an umberella for the Terrorist groups, As long as the ultimate aim is similar then they are associated.
Once overall controll of a country is taken then they will probably fight between themselves for supremecy.
The whole lot of them is Financed by an endless supply of money, arms and training by the Wahabis of Saudi Arabia.
The Wahabis are the most Extreme of extremist Islamists, The Saudi Government is scared of them so they allow them free rein.
They detest Idolatry, they destroyed Mohammed`s grave and that of his mother, because ******s worshipped them.
As long as they have control of the Oil trade then there is an endless amount of money to finance operations world wide.
and tell Mr Vague he hasnt a clue about the world`s stage.
Hope you enjoyed the explanation, I was a hostage for a month in Iran at the Revolution December 1978 and it was explained to me by a Revolutionary Guard who had killed the Iranians who worked for us and all the Office staff.
When I said , "Why do you kill your fellow ******s" He said," Because they work for American Company , they Cease to be ******s so we can kill them"
Cheers
Brian.

A big enough reason to contain them in their own countrys. To hell with all this freedom of movement and lifting of border controls. What a sad lot the human race is. Unfortuanetly there is no one in the western world with the guts to do the necessary dirty work, as they all want to be Mr and Mrs Nice. Cheers John Sabourn.
