ISIS girl

What do people think about the young woman who ran away to join ISIS and now wants to return here to have her baby in safety?
I don't know what to think. I'm sorry her last babies died but I'm horrified to hear her dismiss unbelievers' heads in bins as 'enemies of Islam'. Any thoughts?

Wow - I am so sorry that I am not as perfect as you Maryeliza.

I have already apologised for my typos.

maryeliza54 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:13:27

GG you and Petra libelled SB’s father by mixing him up with AA’s father - but I expect you think it doesn’t matter because they’re all to blame for everything anyway. I actually think not being careful about names and facts in this case can be construed as racist because it could be inferred that you don’t think it matters and are lumping all these people together

You can always tell who were head girls and prefects at school. grin

The only person who is pontificating, ranting and venting on this thread is you maryeliza54.
The rest of us are debating!

GrannyGravy13 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:17:19

Maryeliza If you look back on my posts on this thread and any others on this site I think you will find that I have never ranted or vented.

I always treat virtual conversations as I would face to face ones, if I have made a mistake I will,always apologise.

I cannot rectify my eyesight, and in hindsight perhaps I should not rely on my earlier touch typing experience.

maryeliza54 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:18:48

GG your comments ( and petras) about the father were not a typo they were wrong and libellous - dead right you’re not perfect. I happen to think that facts matter but I know that’s an unfashionable position with some GNers because’ we’re all entitled to our opinions’

GrannyGravy13 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:19:46

Maryeliza my best friend is a Muslim.

MawBroon Fri 15-Feb-19 22:22:02

If you don’t know who’s who you’d be better off not posting really wouldn’t you - especially as SB’s father has been libelled on this thread. But still why let the facts get in the way of the lynch mob? So very very inconvenient

maryeliza54 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:22:39

Buffy some of you are being libellous and some of you CBA to get your facts right before posting opinions - I really must apologise for actually having the temerity to think that getting facts right matters but there you go......we’ll all just make it up as we go along

MawBroon Fri 15-Feb-19 22:24:46

Posted too soon-and somehow lost the quotation marks around my quote from an earlier post. .
I meant to add that applications to qualify to post on this thread should be completed on one side of A4 and the thread police’s decision is always final.

mycat <sigh>

Buffybee Fri 15-Feb-19 22:27:39

I actually got a name wrong in one post and apologised and corrected it before anyone else had posted a comment.
I realised as soon as I posted my mistake and I hope that you are not inferring that I have libelled anyone by my mistake.

maryeliza54 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:28:21

Are you saying Maw that getting the names of people wrong and libelling a father is not important or even more so, something to be sarcastic about? FFS. Given your penchant for pedantry that rather surprises me but there you go. Facts as an optional extra.

maryeliza54 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:28:49

Not you Buffy the two I named

GrannyGravy13 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:29:43

It has been reported on "social media" sites that her father was pictured with the "radical preacher" as I and none of us were actually present we can only comment on what we have read.

As I have previously posted if this is wrong I apologise, I can only comment on what I have read as I did not/have not witnessed any of these events.

Buffybee Fri 15-Feb-19 22:33:08

Seriously Maw! It's a joke!
I am not happy having someone lecturing me and others on here about mistakes, which have been apologised for and rectified.

Exactly! Who made her the Thread Police?

maryeliza54 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:36:21

There you go again GG Whose father? And all the photographs I’ve seen are of AA’s father at the rally and clearly so say -how strange that all the social media sites you’ve seen have said it’s SB’s father - we clearly move in different social media worlds. And actually here’s a tip - before commenting on what you read on social media sites and taking it for gospel, try a bit of triangulation to ascertain the truth. It’s jolly informative and not especially difficult.

maryeliza54 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:39:52

The libellous remarks have not been apologised for or rectified by those making them. Thread Police -what a pathetic childish response to the be correcting of serious factual mistakes.

PECS Fri 15-Feb-19 22:44:58

Point of information: People of different races can be Jewish. I am not sure they are all actually Semetic..& all Semetic people are not Jewish.

Racists cannot hide behind the argument that Islam is not a 'race' so therefore it is ok to behave / talk in abusive and discriminatory way to or about Muslims.

MawBroon Fri 15-Feb-19 22:46:56

If you don’t know who’s who you’d be better off not posting really wouldn’t you
Somehow this sort of pompous directive always seems to engender what you call a “childish response” ?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 15-Feb-19 22:54:37

maryeliza life is to short.

We have an AC serving in our armed forces and for 85% of the last 30 years the people trying to take him and his troop out have been doing so under the “caliphate” banner.

It is so easy to dictate what should be done in the comfy of our homes.

Easy to say research everything you read.

I believe in my gut feelings, experiences and truth from the front line of people confronting these issues daily:

PECS Fri 15-Feb-19 23:10:25

GG13 I know that military families will have a particular view that others may not have. A shame that UK governments have not been able to avoid combat and have put our troops in dangerous situations.

Mycatisahacker Fri 15-Feb-19 23:12:32

Blimey have a wine it’s Friday!

GrannyGravy13 Fri 15-Feb-19 23:13:12

Thank you PECS The UK military personnel do so much, a lot is not public for obvious reasons.
