Terror Attack in Denmark

Sounds more like a word to cowards than a word to the wise. Letting terrorist dictate our actions is capitulation.

Seems more like a word from cowards.
 
Yes bravery requires people with no common sense, doesn't it.

Attending a place that you know may be a target to terrorism is not "lacking common sense". By that notion, the victims of every terror attack that ever took place had no common sense. Your statement is extremely illogical and offensive to the victims. It is thus ironic that you would talk of common sense when you clearly possess none.
 
I love how these guys are like "we must attack those who insult the honor of the great Prophet Muhammed, peace be unto him. And while we're at it, lets kill some random Jews too".

Picture of the suspect.. but not official, so be-careful there. The picture was released (against Police advice) by the major Danish tabloid Ekstrabladet, and is based on the public and not official sources.

What is official is the following.

Danish born, 22 years old, connected with gangs and has a history of violence. Just got out of jail 2 weeks ago for assault and well known by the Danish Police.

As of now, no known links to any radical Islamist groups or travel outside of Denmark to "those areas". Has spent the last few years in and out of jail.



As of now it looks like this guy had more in common with the Hells Angels, Russian mob, Crips and Blood and all those other organized gangs than ISIS. But it is early in the investigation, so we shall see.. but he was only 22 and spent most of his early adult life in jail, so..

Yes, no chance at all that Omar Abdel Hamid el-Hussein could be a Muslim. Nor could Jews or free speech advocates have been the targets.

Ever considered a career in law enforcement, Pete?

What the hell are you smoking? All I am stating the facts as we know.. well knew at the time I posted. I never said that he was not a Muslim, in fact I did not say he was or was not. Considering his name is Omar, then chances are that he is.

I stated, and I repeat..

22 years old.

Born in Denmark, and hence Danish. Might be 2nd or 3rd generation immigrant but is a natural born Dane. What part of the world his family came from.. dunno, yet.

Linked to criminal gang activity in Denmark and has been arrested for gunrunning and drugs.

No known links to Islamist groups or people.

Just released from jail pending appeal of a 2014 conviction for a knife attack.

That's OK Pete. Some day a gang of headchoppers are going to shoot up a mall here in the US and about 40% of our population will be saying exactly what you are. Some people are just happier believing that all the evil in the world comes from white, male Conservatives.

The "Right wing" and "Christians" always top Pete's list of suspects. Jews are often in the mix as well.

Eh? what exactly am I saying other than facts? are you against facts because they may or may not fit your world view that all Muslims are terrorists?

Oh and gangs and crazy people have been shooting up malls and schools for decades in the US.. it is almost a national past time is it not?

I've never made the claim that all Muslims are terrorists and I find the suggestion that I have to be patently offensive. My contention is that a radical form of Wahabbism is pervasive in many Muslim communities throughout the world and that most of the terrorists we see come from those communities.

People never had any problem calling loudly, regularly and damned near universally for the Catholics to rid their churches of pedophiles but throughout Europe and America there is a reluctance to call for Muslims to rid themselves of the headchoppers.

And what on earth has this to do with anything I wrote? And for the record I dont disagree fully with you.. far from it, but you and a few others tend to not disginush very clearly between a few radical fanatical morons and the vast peaceful majority of the Islam.

We also do not know officially if he was a Muslim, let alone what branch and if he was radical or even where in the Middle East his family is from. He was a Dane, born and bred. Considering we do know he was a criminal with weapon and drug arrests.. hardly the purist radical Islamist is it now.

If there are millions why are there not millions of attacks?

I can't help myself.

I know you just copied from the linked site but "polio team? The family was "disassembled"?

Still, it should really offend the consciousness of any sane person that headchoppers were responsible for at least these six attacks just over the weekend and that the count doesn't include the Coptic Christians that ISIS beheaded in Libya.
 
how about we wait until we have more information about the situation before engaging in the political nonsense.

How about nothing that is said on this board has any affect globally, so let people talk.
 
He was a Dane, born and bred. Considering we do know he was a criminal with weapon and drug arrests.. hardly the purist radical Islamist is it now.

No surprises there. The Danish police probably know that a lot of the wanna' be Jihaders in the US are jailhouse converts looking for something to give their lives meaning once the gangs get old.

The phenomena also extends to Europe. Two of the Charlie Hebdo attackers were secular petty criminals before joining the Jihad. In addition, "Jihad John", the host of several ISIS beheading videos was a gangster rapper before becoming a "Jihad warrior".
 
Because many act in groups (like ISIS or Taliban).
Here's a complete list, and please take note most of these are muslim terrorist groups:

List of designated terrorist organizations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How many Buddhist groups did you see on this list??

Also, I believe many terrorists are lying dormant right now, only to flip out next time somebody draws a cartoon of Mohammed

I am not arguing that there is not a massive problem with radical Islam or that there are not sleeper cells or a stealth jihad even... you tossed out the number millions.

There should be thousands of attacks a week by that number...

Of course I dont have an exact number, but when you add up all terrorists, sleeper cells and sympathizers around the world I'm pretty sure its in the millions.

And no, they dont all have to commit terrorist acts right at this moment to qualify as terrorists. Many could be in the planning stage, or just waiting to snap next time someone draws a cartoon

I would not say that millions are terrorists... prone towards violent reaction? Yes. Hundreds of thousands as terrorists? Sure.
