Khan, who was from Cardiff, had links to so-called Islamic State and was killed in an RAF drone strike on 21 August. Mohammed Islam said the family and the local community were "devastated and shocked", and there were "a lot more questions" for the government to answer.[/QUOTE] Video is in the source: [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34179450[/url] I 'love' this biased reporting on the bbc's part, why should the government take into consideration the feelings of those who had relatives who became terrorists. My view is if anything they should be condemning the act of their relative(s) and others who have joined ISIS, if not they should be deported.
Why're they trying to make me feel sorry for a terrorist who left his life behind to run off and play soldiers with a bunch of murderers?
If they're devastated and shocked over the death of a confirmed terrorist, arrest them too.
[quote]there were "a lot more questions" for the government to answer.[/quote] Yeah... no. Khan ran off to play war against the country he is from. He went to be a terrorist claiming they are fighting a holy war. There isn't anything questionable about this. At all.
He went and joined IS, brainwashing or not the government shouldn't have to answer as to why they attacked them, they were IS soldiers, not Britons to me.
Play terrorist get blown the fuck up. I'll be sorry for his fate of becoming a terrorist. Not him.
No sympathy
Yeah no, his choice his fault.
The only thing the government should be doing is knocking down some doors and finding out which degenerate islamic extremists groomed him in the first place before more are groomed and history repeats it'self, it wouldn't suprise me at all if the mosque he was part of is Salafi\Wahabi.
So terrorists get literally blown the fuck out and we are supposed to feel sad for them? Fuck that shit. Glad the worthless piece of shit is in tiny little pieces now. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
[quote]Mohammed Islam[/quote] Really? [editline]9th September 2015[/editline] Imagine being called Jesus Christianity.
This is like knowing a relative who went out with a loaded gun shooting at people and then complaining when he's taken down by an armed response unit. Granted they should be allowed to mourn but that doesn't make his death wrongful.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48641930]If they're devastated and shocked over the death of a confirmed terrorist, arrest them too.[/QUOTE] ??? Why can't people be upset over their family dying.
look, my condolences for the poor sap who got blown the fuck up, chances are he never even shot anyone but if you abandon the safety of your own family and country and waltz off to a warzone to support a terrorist cause, don't be surprised when you get wrecked by enemy forces
[QUOTE=Jordax;48642024]So terrorists get literally blown the fuck out and we are supposed to feel sad for them? Fuck that shit. Glad the worthless piece of shit is in tiny little pieces now. Good riddance to bad rubbish.[/QUOTE] Show a little empathy, this was someone they loved and cared for and are probably just as upset he joined ISIS as many other people are. Doesn't make their distress from him dying any less invalid, although that doesn't mean the government should have to answer to the killing. He did go out and join a terrorist organization and payed the consequences. You just sound kind of edgy saying this tbh
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48641930]If they're devastated and shocked over the death of a confirmed terrorist, arrest them too.[/QUOTE] Lmao what's the charge
[QUOTE=smurfy;48642163]Lmao what's the charge[/QUOTE] I may have slightly exaggerated the appropriate response. v:v:v

Fuck him, hope the RAF had some good target practice. Hate when people like this are referred to as "Britons", yeah you were shat out here but your extremist mind died along with that shit in your pants in some place that you called home. Later, tater
Damn, a lot of edgy people here. Don't you get that devaluing people down to nothing but shit-stains and blood splats on the ground is the same bullshit they do? Its a tragedy that any of this ever had to happen, any kind of violence or injustice has ever happened in our collective history and that any human blood has trickled into the proverbial pool of waste. You can hate him, that is entirely fine I don't agree but I can at least understand that. But hate his family? People who seemingly have done no wrong and were never terrorists? Its pathetic.

[editline]9th September 2015[/editline] Anyway if you go out and join a terrorist group that pretty much everyone knows for its horrific crimes, then quite frankly you deserve to be blown up.
[QUOTE=Araknid;48642515]There are literally no posts in this thread so far where people are hating the family, only people saying that the terrorist got what he deserved.[/QUOTE] Mine, but really it was more of an immediate reaction that I posted without any thought.
The fact that Labor and the SNP have apparently come out demanding to see details on this strike is absurd. These idiots left the safety of the UK to partake in real life call of duty under the pretense of religion and got bombed by the RAF who were doing their job of destroying ISIS, These so called 'Britons' put themselves in the crosshairs no one else. end of story.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48642552]Mine, but really it was more of an immediate reaction that I posted without any thought.[/QUOTE] Yeah thats why I didn't mention yours because [QUOTE=Grenadiac;48642287]I may have slightly exaggerated the appropriate response. v:v:v[/QUOTE]
From what I gather, the family essentially viewed him as a brainwashed hostage. Not a terrorist.
How dare people have little empathy for the death of someone who made it their duty and way to kill and harm innocent people for not believing in their own cause? A terrorist? If anything I do not see how I am supposed to sympathize with hin. The family? Sure, that was their family. What im saying is : it is hard to have empathy for a terrorist
[QUOTE=Shalaska;48641920]Why're they trying to make me feel sorry for a terrorist who left his life behind to run off and play soldiers with a bunch of murderers?[/QUOTE] Because at the end of the day they're all still human beings. The death of a person is still a tragedy, the author is presenting reality as reality. It's easy to think of people as cardboard cutouts, but people are so, so, complex. I can't even begin to understand why one would trade a life in the 21st century for one of the 16th, but I'm not going to generalize them as someone who's simply good or evil. The tragedy here is that people end up in his situation in the first place, that IS is even a thing, that people can be led so easily to fanaticism, especially at such a young age. This world has a gaping, searing wound in it, It's name is war, violence and history, that these cults and gangs grow out of it is inevitable. That is the sad story of the world, it's all that we can do to try to understand it sometimes. Dehumanizing anyone is an affront to objectivity, if you can't see a human as a human you're not imagining the full truth of things
[QUOTE=Vasili;48642046]Really? [editline]9th September 2015[/editline] Imagine being called Jesus Christianity.[/QUOTE] Well there are people named Christian, and Jesus, but usually not at once. Don't think I've ever seen anyone called Abraham Judaism though. Either way, I can understand a family being upset about their kid going off to fight for a terroristic regime and getting himself killed, but if anyone deserves retribution for his death it's the groups that recruited and transported him. Not the military sworn to protect him from the exact people who preyed upon him.
[QUOTE=Jordax;48642024]So terrorists get literally blown the fuck out and we are supposed to feel sad for them? Fuck that shit. Glad the worthless piece of shit is in tiny little pieces now. Good riddance to bad rubbish.[/QUOTE] You think that's bad? Down here in my country, a lot of confirmed terrorists we captured during the 80s and 90s had to be liberated, after their families sued the Peruvian government in international courts, claiming they were put behind bars by a dictatorship and that their human righs were violated. Human rights are all fine and dandy, but god damn they can be infuriating sometimes.
[quote]there were "a lot more questions" for the government to answer[/quote] Sounds more like the government has "a lot more questions" for them to answer.
