It is actually in our economic interests to bomb Saudi Arabia. Not national security interests but economic interests
....................
Not sure how you deduce that, unless you are completely unaware of the contracts that the UK Defence Industry has with the Saudis.
The kurds deserve to have a state and is about time they had one.
Also Assad is part of the solution and not the problem in syria. He is the lesser of two evils
comment by BerbaKing11 (U6256)
Your response is just so simplistic and naive.
First, our support for Israel is not responsible for terrorism. How many Palestinians has Israel killed in the past 365 days? Unless Hamas hurled missiles into Israel, Gaza is safe.
2) If the US/UK policies is creating terrorism, then what is the excuse for Boko Haram, Al Shabab, Lakshkar e Taiba, etc?
3) The West has no military bases in these trobled countries.
4) Illiteracy is a major problem among the Arabs. If this is not addressed, they will always be cannon fodder for their masters.
5) Islam should teach love rather than hate. Forginess rather than revenge. Otherwise, this circle of violence will never cease.
Some of us are opposed to all terrorism,
...............
Yes. Some are. Some are not.
"The maximum we should do is send humanitarian aid."
So our people can get their heads chopped off?

Muslims are vocal about ISIS but I do not see why they need to be.
ISIS are crazed lunatics who think they are muslims. Why should muslims be held to account for the actions of crazed lunatics.
I however advocate that any one who leaves this country to go and fight for ISIS should have their citizenship revoked and if they survive and return be charged with treason
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Muslims shouldn't be held to account for ISIS, but Muslims are the sector of our populace that are being recruited, hence the communities need to reinforce to their members that IS is toxic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you believe they are not doing that? The question I would ask is this, why is their message so appealing that kids living in a civilised country will follow barbarians

Last year it looked like Assad would overcome the opposition but it is moving against the regime now and I wouldn't be surprised to see the regime crumble.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Without Assad, isis will rule syria. We should be backing Assad for now
To be fair, you (at least I) see a lot more outrage in response to IS from non Muslim folk.
Perhaps thats just the Muslims I am friends with on facebook, that the media don't show Muslims speaking out against it.
But in my experience, Muslims tend say "it's nothing to do with Islam" and that's all they say. I think it would be good to see Muslims actually preaching AGAINST these groups, which I haven't yetseen.

ISIS and Al Nusra/Other rebel faction are now executing one another. Also, the Palestinian refugee camp has been liquidated by ISIS. So gradually, the rebels are taking one another out while Assad is just relaxing with an occasional barrel bomb just in case they forgot he is still around.

Not it isn't, the situation there is what makes things worse.
The attacks against the west have been about the politics in the middle-east with entry of groups point there fingers at the situation in Palestine, our bases in the middle-east and our puppet dictators. Not to mention our wars against our dictators once we got bored of them.
People need to start listening to the perpetrators if they want to discover why they are doing it.

You can't accuse me of displaying simplicity and naivety and go on to write what you've just written.
1. I said, among other things, that support for Israel fosters/creates hatred - not that it is 'responsible for terror', as you asserted.
2. Given I never claimed this, your second point is moot.
3. I said in the regions. The US has more military deployment around the globe that it ever has at present.
4. People are stupid, yes. Plenty of evidence in this thread alone.
5. This applies to everyone.
Your take on Gaza being safe is bordering on despicable, by the way. To the point that I'm not even going to bother going through the details, because clearly it's a path to nowhere.
