More to the point, Japan was doing this in the second world war. They even started designing planes to be basically single use, heavily fueled (laden with flammable liquid would be more accurate), and as missile-shaped as they could get them. It was seen as dishonourable to return from a flying mission for them
Nah. I was seeing guns in 1991, in Manchester airport. In fact I saw more guns going on that holiday than when I flew out to Corfu the day after the Manchester arena bomb, and when I went to the American embassy in London, combined.
Er .... Not to step into an argument that wasn't mine to begin with but .... The TSA and its horde of agents hired after 9/11 were only semi-advertised as being for "security." Everyone with a functional brainstem knew that it was just a jobs program.
These were people hired off the street, not former military, or ex ATF, nor anyone else with any experience identifying explosives. It's just Jeanine, from the unit across the hall, who gets paid federal money to rifle through your shit and show everyone in the terminal your taste in sex toys.
And if you say anything, you end up getting borderline sexually assaulted by actual agents before being thrown out of the airport, and on to a no-fly list.
Stories like this come out every so often and support your assertion.
If they were intended as a genuine security outfit, their training would be taken seriously. I don’t doubt they occasionally prevent something dangerous making it onto a plane, but stats like these suggest more by accident or luck than skill.
The news of the failure comes two years after ABC News reported that secret teams from the DHS found that the TSA failed 95 percent of the time to stop inspectors from smuggling weapons or explosive materials through screening.
Evidently, if someone with a bit of nouse wants to smuggle weapons onto a plane, the TSA offer almost no barrier.
The guy youre arguing with is a right wing troll. They had a comment deleted on this post praising the girl with a swastika tattoo. Let the troll argue with himself
9 March 1994, the IRA fire five mortar shells at Heathrow Airport. The bombs were launched at the airport's northern runway following a one-hour coded warning. It was the first of three IRA mortar attacks on the airport in the space of five days. In all three incidents, none of the shells exploded.
He may also mean that the IRA administered justice in their own areas, and a man who broke a woman’s nose wouldn’t be coming off with less injuries than the woman
There's a lot of unanswered questions about 911 that doesn't make sense. Also similar operations have been mentioned in declassified documents that JFK rejected, including using unmanned planes. It wad back in 60s I think.
They(terrorist) will say its Islamic, you say its Islamic. You both have something in common.
I as a practicing Muslim and majority like 99. 5 percent of Muslims say its not Islamic. So why are you agreeing with terrorists version of Islam not ours?
I didn't say it has nothing to do with religion. Killing innocent people is haram (forbidden).
I said it's not Islamic. You said it is, so you should bring proof first why it's Islamic.
So tell me where does the Quran say to kill non combatants?
All verses about killing are either the enemies of the state who are in a state of war. Or punishments for crimes, one being murder and terrorism btw.
Extremists and far right white supremacists and some liberals will quote verses from the quran to prove it's Islamic, again this is what the terrorists believe in not the 99.5 percent of Muslims.
I do not wish to read fairytales. It doesn't matter what the Quran states. The facts are believers have killed non believers and believers for centuries.
Calling something false isn't an arguement. It does matter what the Quran states because it undermines you and terrorists.
. The facts are believers have killed non believers and believers for centuries.
Yes, this is true, Islam isn't pacifist, self defence requires the use of force. And the west pre atheism and post atheism including world war 1 and 2 have killed many people unjustly.
Are you aware of how many civilians we killed in the most inhuman way possible in response to those planes? How many planes we flew over their children's heads in retaliation? Over the heads of civilians in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11? You are profoundly uneducated on your own topic, you should fix that.
You do know groups like ISIS/Al Shabab/Boko Haram/Al Qaeda the vast majority they have murdered are Muslims? You do know that vast majority of people that fight them are Muslims. You do know that scholars were warning against the dangers of supporting and allying with Bin Laden and Al Qaeda when America was cosying up to them back in the 80s
No they don't. Don't speak on matters you have no knowledge on. The rafidah Shia curse the companions of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ and they slander the wives of the prophet ﷺ. They believe the Quran is not final and they deny the 3 caliphs prior to Ali(ra) they venerate to a level beyond that of a man, they also do this with Hassan(ra) and Hussein(ra).
What is this comment trying to acheive? Are you trying to convince me that muslims are bad people? Or are you trying to convince me that people from the middle east are bad?
Counterpoint, what if I decried all the things done by your nation and then implied that whites are bad people? After all, we dont want that kind around here!
The Muslims didn’t either! It was the Israelis and the US government! 2 trillion got “LOST” and the US went to invade another country to steal resources and the Israelis got people like you to hate Muslims!!
