But since you asked I met him in HMV glasgow before one of his gigs, he was surprised i recognised him and we chatted for about 30 minutes, he then took my name and number and put me on the VIP list for the gig that night at the garage. Then chatted for a bit after the gig. Met him and Dave the guitarist from the band a couple years after. People can hold views you don't agree with/object too and you can still get on with them. Ha! Was expecting some kind of climb down from vouching for the guys chracter...but now you and him "get on" fantasy land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Chances are it was going to be Islamic extremism yes. There was far too much talking as if it was definitely confirmed as such. There's a difference, and a major one, between these two things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherchance Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Yes it does. It doesn't, and it's dangerous to demonise anything who thinks that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the idea that we should somehow pretend to be surprised that this is Islamic extremism? Just as likely to be a white guy with a random grievance? Come on.

Nobody is suggesting we be surprised at it, or say what's more likely. I get the sense that, as usual, you're just being an argumentitive sack, so I'm bowing out of this.

People were shouting "Muslims!" when it could just as likely have been a blown fuse box and nobody hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 As soon as I heard of atrocity I have to admit, the first thing that came to my head was Islamic terrorism. Now I didn't say it but I thought it. I would say that's true for everyone on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I was also aware it might not be. Because I'm actually a rational human being. Having been to a gig where an explosion was down to equipment, I didn't even have the slightest idea what was going on until that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 To the surprise of absolutely no-one, I was correct in my assumption. Care to retract your faux outrage? Hope your moment of triumph makes you feel all warm n fuzzy. Most people would baulk at point scoring while there are parents mourning their children but whatever makes you feel good about yourself....
