Two men shot by armed police after hacking soldier to death

Would you think it would be worse if it were a Dutch Buddhist who killed a Moroccan Muslim because of the happenings in Tibet?

No, a murderer is a murderer. Be it a buddhist, muslim, nazi or christian.

Woolwich stabbing leaves man in hospital
A man in his 20s is in hospital after being stabbed in Woolwich.

Police said it happened just a "few streets away" from the scene of Wednesday's attack on Drummer Lee Rigby, but it is not being linked to the killing.

A spokesman said the victim sustained non-life threatening injuries in the stabbing, just before 16:00 BST.

Mr Rigby, with the 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, was run over and then fatally injured, last Wednesday.

Apart from the fact that what happend in Woolwich isn't being seen as a murder, but a terrorist attack encouraged by the book ALL Muslims worship.

Never thought I'd say this, but Russell Brand has put into perspective the events of the last week perfectly: http://www.russellbrand.tv/2013/05/woolwich/

I don't get it.

There's no-one to blame but the man himself. The man is a simple murderer. The fact he uses the islam as a cover for his deeds doesn't matter.
If the same murderer didn't use the words Allah, Sura'h and Aya' in his speech, it'd be less worse?

And yeah, ALL muslims follow the Quran, but do you see ALL muslims running around with machettes hacking into people?

Russel Brand is an idiot.

No but it's just as bad as you worship the book which encourages and HAS encouraged people to do it.

If your religion is so good, why does it tell you to slaughter most of the worlds population because they do not believe in Allah?

Lol Muslim's don't worship a book. They worship their creator, Allah. If you're going to make out as if Islam is the enemy here at least do some research into it and educate yourself into the teachings of Islam before you comment on what it advocates or condemns. And that doesn't mean compiling all the misquoted and out of context quotes on violence you can find in the Qur'an as the basis of your argument.

Anyway, I feel for the Soldiers family - it's always sad to hear of someone's death no matter what his/her background or by whose hands they died.  However I hope people understand that just by reading a book one does not develop murderous tendencies. Like said before clearly these were two very misled people who were brainwashed to the point they were able to console themselves with some sort of self-justification for what they had just done.

People will always point fingers to certain groups or people rather than accept the fact that the human mind is corrupted in it's basis. And when you bring Religion into the equation these corrupted minds will try find reasoning for their actions where there is actually no valid reason for their sick acts at all. No religion condones the act of killing an innocent human being otherwise God knows if humanity would have actually came this far.

The sooner we realise Humans as a whole are fucked up the better - preaching intolerance towards a belief just because some members of that faith choose to be intolerant towards others will only create more hatred.

I hate how BBC keeps showing Muslims putting flowers down and then praying, honestly they worship the Quaran which encourages the slaughtering of all non-believers, and how many non-believers are there in the UK? 65million? I don't mind people of Pakistan and other Muslim countries being in the UK, but if they want to come here they should leave their stupid religion behind, we don't want it in our country, and neither does many other countries in Europe.

You think the BBC should ban footage of Muslims putting down flowers and you also think that a religion should be banned because "we don't want it in our country"? Speak for yourself... I am not religious, but I don't want to live in a country where people are only allowed to have certain beliefs, because 'the majority' disagrees with them, that's just wrong. Writing what you've written does nothing apart from make you sound extremely ignorant. "they worship the Quaran which encourages the slaughtering of all non-believers" - guess what, the Bible does too.

Whilst I also feel strongly against this disgusting act of violence, what I also hate is people willing to stoop down to the level of these backwards and delusional psychos by expressing ridiculous ideas like yours - banning a religious belief, because of a select few people...

Ok, and tell me how many times people have actually murdered people as you say the bible tells them to compared to how many times Muslims have murdered people because of what the Quaran says.

As if a head count is necessary - Murder is murder whether in mass numbers or small, whether by Christian or Muslim or whatever religion. It seems your animosity towards Islam is clouding your judgement of the situation here.

For someone so patriotic I find it funny how you bash the Muslims of whose Grandfathers along with the rest of the British Indian Army fought alongside yours in WW1 & WW2. Were they also the murderous devils you view the Muslims as for volunteering to fight on your side?

His article suggests the contrary.

Oh dear...  :roll:

The Crusades.

Sorry how many hundreds of years ago was that?
We live in a modern era where slaughter of humans is no longer acceptable, if you're going to kill someone, atleast shoot them, not cut them up in public for everyone to see..

What difference does that make? It doesn't matter what the religion is, they all equally have their flaws. I'm still trying t understand why you said the BBC should ban footage of Muslims putting down flowers and showing their respect, do you realise how stupid that sounds? Your hatred for this religion is built on you own ignorance and assumptions about things that you've no idea what you're even talking about.

Like I said, the opinions your expressing are just as wrong as those of the terrorists who did this. What do you expect to accomplish by stooping down to their level?
