Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

For those of us who are ignorant of what ISIS actually is and what it stands for, here's a very interesting site:

What ISIS really wants

Basically, the Islamic State follows a distinctive variety of Islamic beliefs and particularly so, about the path to the Day of Judgement

The web site explains what exactly is going on. Read it carefully and when you read it:

Try to make sure you learn what a 'caliphate' actually is.

Try to learn how Muslims can actually 'serve the ISIS caliphate'.

Importantly, you will learn that a caliphate cannot properly exist without it having its own 'territory'. The web site has an indicative map.

Try to learn what an apostate is and what ISIS reckon the punishment has to be for apostates - and why.

Try to understand, that according to ISIS, why modern Muslims are most certainly 'apostates'. Similarly, so are most governments too.

Once you've got this far, how's about you think they they got it a bit wrong and should call some (most?) people just 'sinners' and not 'apostates'?

Try to understand what 'takfiri doctrine' is and what it has to do with purifying the world.

Try to learn what a 'jihad' is and also what 'jihadism' is too.

Try to understand the ISIS attitude to slavery and how it came about.

Find out what "Yazidi women and children' are.

Find out about enslaving families of the 'kuffar' and what 'kuffar' are.

We all need to cotton on to the fact, that although lots of Muslims try to follow the Shiite path in their faith, ISIS regards thje Shiites as 'an innovative fashion'. Such innovation denies the purification of the Koran.

Importantly, you will begin to understand, that if people take the view that certain core texts and Islamic teachings are no longer valid (because of say, 'modernity') how holding such a view is most definitely taken as an act of apostasy.

If you want to learn a bit more about this stuff, try:

What Motivates Terrorists

I personally, am an atheist. Having read a lot of this ISIS stuff it smacks a lot of the most common rubbishy dogma that just about every church of any religion postulates, namely:

"Life begins only when you die but specifically, ONLY IF YOU BELONG TO THIS (OUR) CHURCH (RELIGION)!"

That's why I really do believe, that the very best way to go, is to smash ALL religions for the daft buncum which they actually all are.

From scientific proof, we now know how the universe grew out of nothing and so it did not need any kind of a 'creator god' to start it off. If there isn't a creator god, then there cannot possibly be any kind of afterlife. If there isn't an afterlife, then we all ought to get on, as pleasantly and enjoyably as we possibly can with the enjoyment of 'our own pure being' in this one.

I do think governments everywhere feel convinced they need religions to 'teach moraility to the masses' and without them, law and order would just break down as a good morality collapses. I believe this to be utter rubbish too.

Arsis will be coming for you Exec!

barmy Obama is a racist the worst president ever a coward .he has much to do with Syria a coward and that is the best I can say about the man

turkey tells you can never trust a muslim never turn your back on one

That's why I really do believe, that the very best way to go, is to smash ALL religions for the daft buncum which they actually all are.



What are you going to replace religions with?

And if you do is that a new religion, or just a belief?

I have a belief that my happiness depends on pulling wings off flies and baiting Manuel.



(The spelling checker suggested biting instead of baiting, but I thought that was going to far.)

Strange situation over there. Am I wrong to say:

US, Russia, France, Iran, Iraq, Kurds are fighting against ISIS. UK is joining too.
US, Turkey, Saudi are helping oppositions against Syria.
ISIS is fighting against Syria.

Turkey is fighting against Kurds and Syria. Turkey said before that Kurds are more of a problem than ISIS for them.
ISIS are fighting against Kurds.

ISIS is selling oil. Not clear to whom, but certainly one of the Syrian neighbours should know.

well we now know why they shot down the plane turkey was buying oil from the terrorists Russia have blown up the tankers turkey not getting cheap oil via terrorists

bastards

The worrying thing about all this is the different factions out there causing trouble are being distributed all over the World to all different Nations . It may look humane to take these people in , but in the future it could be absolute hell .

Newspaper comment about Corbyn being abandoned during strategic defence review speech by Cameron

Long before the end, the senior Shadow Cabinet ministers had scarpered, leaving Mr Corbyn with just one unknown MP for company. Where was his ally John McDonnell? Stephen Pound and Vernon Coaker did finally arrive. They sat beside Mr Corbyn like hospital visitors at the bedside of a coma patient.
