Or a weekday night. Spent many an evening around there. My flat is about ten mins away. Holy shit this is getting beyond...I don't know.

This is getting close

Turkey is team Qatar looks like.

Bombings in Iran.

This is going to get very interesting.

If an all out war between Sunnis and Shias breaks out, and we support the Sunnis, does that make us team ISIS?

Potential revenge attack in London...

Rant time.

I saw this on my phone so I can't easily post screenshots, but Yahoo made the purely idiotic decision on mobile to replace the ribbon of articles with a ribbon of comments from their head article, of which was just happened in London. Sure enough, all three of the comments loaded were all hateful anti-Islam comments assuming it was a Muslim who was behind the attack.

Instead, the attack was on a mosque.

Is there anything in place to prevent a Timothy McVeigh level operation? How locked down are Ammonium Nitrate and Fuel Oil in Europe?

Not picking on you Dime, but I stumbled on this on youtube earlier and you just happen to have the most recent relevant post.

Late night thoughts: The attempted Grand Mosque bombing was an inside job.

Now back to our standard programming:

Seriously.

Toll up to 13.
