John Sexton:
We know the suicide bomber’s name, but still don’t know precisely what motivated the selection of this venue on this night. The Washington Post published a story today which poses a question about the Manchester attack: Was the Ariana Grande concert targeted simply because it offered a large crowd of vulnerable targets or was this intended to be an attack on western women?
Previous bomb attacks in Brussels and Paris have targeted airports, subway stations, and theaters. An attack in Nice and one in Berlin targeted crowded pedestrian areas. In each of these cases, the goal appears to have been to find a large concentration of people to maximize the death toll of the attack.
But the Manchester attack was not only a crowd but one made up primarily of young women. So it’s possible the goal here wasn’t merely to kill and terrorize but to kill and terrorize a specific group: young, western women. The Washington Post suggests maybe that shouldn’t be so surprising:
“It’s very well known that misogyny is deeply rooted in the radical Islamist worldview,” said Shashank Joshi, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a London-based think tank…
“There’s a connection between the targeting of a concert like this and the enslavement of young girls in northern Iraq,” said Joshi.
For Joshi, Islamist ideology has long used the hatred of women as a starting point for condemning Western society seen as immoral and “decadent.”…
“If you go back to early Islamist documents,” he said, “misogyny and cultural hostility have often been two sides of the same coin.”
This is the kind of thing that does not show up in the newspaper except after a deadly incident like this. Most of the time, the only mention of radical Islam is to mock someone for using the phrase. In fact, even today some progressives are trying to blame the Manchester attack on misogyny without identifying the source of that misogyny:
The truth… now THERE’S a novel thought.
“It’s very well known that misogyny is deeply rooted in the radical Islamist worldview,”
Leave out the word “radical” and this statement would still be true.
Anyone who has read the Koran or spent time in Islamist countries would know that there is nothing radical about the Muslim belief that women are subhuman, mere property. It is a part of the core belief of all Muslims.
When you look at the demographics, UK parents have “less then 2 children,” on average.
That means most of the dead were only children.
Will their parents have another child?
Most likely not.
Brits also wait until later life to begin having a baby, so many are too old.
Terror acts are not only about the dead, but about forcing the survivors towards Dhimmitude.
Dhimmitude is “peace via surrender.”
Look at the history of the Copts…..
Once a HUGE majority in Egypt, they were terrorized by Muslims into Dhimmitude. That worked for them for decades. But then the Muslims started moving the goalposts of what constituted proper Dhimmi subservience. Now it’s an all-out attack on all Copts and things Coptic….not by the Muslim gov’t but by the Muslim mob.
UK, that is your future.
Teresa May thinks they’ll hurt her last.
Question is who do they like?
@kitt: #4
Their first cousins.
They like them enough to marry them.
@Nanny G: Could you explain your first 2 sentences? You often make statements seemingly comprehended only by you.
@Richard Wheeler: You really don’t understand the point?
@Richard Wheeler: Maybe I should have put a quote around the term, “only” children.
—As in they had no siblings.—
And their parents are unlikely to have another child.
Mother’s mean age at first birth: 28.1 years
If the child killed was 10 the mom would have reached age 38+.
Total fertility rate: 1.89 children born/woman
(It takes 2.1 children born/woman to reach ZERO population growth., UK is in population SHRINKAGE.)
I can see where you got confused.
@Nanny G: Got it. Would your statement be true considering the percentage of childless couples?
@Richard Wheeler: Somehow the subject has strayed. Ariana is known for having said about some of her young fans, “I hope they ‘f*cking die’ Maybe the assassin knew about it and decided to make it come true for her.

@Redteam: You wanna verify her statement. Sounds like BS. Your conclusion–ugly.and foolish.

@no surprise:
I already have. You’ve heard of ‘Google”. Might want to give it a try.
So what was your moniker? HoJay, Phulof or Greg? What have you ever been correct about?
I’ll save you a little time: https://www.buzzfeed.com/elliewoodward/ariana-grande-said-she-wants-her-fans-to-die
Sep 18, 2014 … Ariana Grande has been at the centre of some pretty serious “diva” rumours lately . … Grande apparently said she hopes her fans “all fucking die”. …
@Redteam: “Rumours apparently” That’s same words used to tie Trump to Russian conspiracy and golden showers from hookers.
Gotta be true I guess. I’ve seen it on Google.
@Rich Wheeler: I don’t know Rich, I don’t keep up with the over privileged like that little girl. But that quote is from many places and sources and apparently happened more than once, at least something similar. Probably just chickens coming home to roost. Of course she’s gonna try to deny it and her fellow libs will do all they can to make it go away. I don’t wish her any bad luck, but will say I’m not going to add to her wealth.
Yogi:
@Redteam: Kinda like Trump denied the Russian hooker stories and a few right wingers stood up for him–who ya gonna believe RT.
@Rich Wheeler:
well, certainly Yogi.

@Greg: Kind of wondering, what does this have to do with anything? Are you implying people like this wouldn’t be going nuts if the past administration had not created the ISIS threat then ignored the terror threat posed by allowing unvetted refugees to flood into western nations?
@Greg: #19
Well, if you’re waiting for masses of Conservatives to make excuses for him, or to somehow justify his actions, or claim that his victims deserved to die because they supported Hillary, better stock up on granola bars and spring water, because you’re in for a long wait.
That sort of thing seems to be a Liberal habit.
@Greg:
Nope, mostly concentrated on the left.
