Both far right and Islamic terrorism exist as a means of pursuing a campaign of hate and terror against sections of the community, with no real political motive. Neither has any real political agenda to which its wedded, and reveals its callous disregard by targeting against sections of the community it blames for its own 'persecution' complexes. Killing bystanders and civilians isn't political extremism, its c**ts taking out their own frustrations and failing, in the same way that bullies in the playground do. Islamic terrorism certainly does have an aim. As they have repeatedly stated, it is to establish a worldwide Islamic caliphate. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

There is no legitimacy to any of it. Murdering civilians is just that. But irrespective of the lack of justification, the mental state of the perpetrators or our ill advised foreign policy, immigration has prompted a rise in right wing activity and invited potential terrorists here from abroad. It cannot be spun or intellectualised away. It is the uncomfortable truth for the liberal left and the government. This is what happens when people being murdered is seen as acceptable collateral damage in the pursuit of an agenda.

But I think you're probably right, the Far Right these days, isn't likes of the Nazi Party or British Union of Fascists, who had actual real political agendas, intelligent arguments and policies. Its disaffected, hateful little s**ts who blame others for their own failure in life. That's what I meant. Immigration to Ireland by Protestants from Scotland and England causing huge resentment among the Catholic community. I don't think we can link justification for murderous acts to politics, personal issues or a higher intellect. There is no difference. They are all flawed and none can be more flawed or dangerous than one that is driven by religious delusions and a desire to spread those delusions. For all their limitations as human beings,the far right are not anti British or anti Western.

I'd say that they are all far right extremists. The type of Islam that they believe in is a very right wing one. It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger Lol. Just IS an Al Qaeda. That's OK then. I think there is a separate issue to extremist politics where the use of armed conflict is tied to a political agenda rather than a specifically vague religious one, that to some degree can be argued to have some degree of validity that is understandable outside of the religious (and for that matter achievable) - and that ties with the notion of armed resistance, or national liberation movements elsewhere in the world that have been supported and lauded by the UK. Which is to say, they are not entirely unreasonable organisations, not that I support them, but that their objectives and political goals are feasible and not unreasonable in their basis.

Glad you recognise Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organisations. They both have links to Al-Qaeda - all three organisations met in Lebanon in 2002 to discuss joint terrorist attacks against Israel, USA and the UK. Both Hamas and Hezbollah call for the total destruction of Israel of course, and article 32 of the Hamas Covenant states "The HAMAS regards itself the spearhead and the vanguard of the circle of struggle against World Zionism." We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]
