Looking at that graphic its self evident how much use praying is.
One set of nutjobs praying they'll get virgins in heaven another set of nutjobs praying it won't happen again. No prayers are answered I'm afraid.

I agree with Brian to a certain extent.
For example the BBC has a news channel why do they also have exactly the same coverage on BBC1. Surely everyone has access to the BBC News channel if they want to hear pundits guessing what the police did or didn't do or even what they might do.
I can understand the coverage when it is all happening but not 12 hrs later, saturation exposure of these awful tragic events is excessive.

I'm seriously thinking of having a good rant...
Vic, do you not think that these murdering scum pray to their choice of god before they go and murder innocent people ?
Do you not think that the murdering ira scum used to pray to their (your ?) choice of god before they went out to kill innocent women and children ? Maybe even received blessings from that wonderful body of men, the priesthood, quite a number of whom have committed their own atrocities on the young and innocent.
How about the jewish terrorists in 1948, blessed by a rabbi and prayed to their god ?
The anc perhaps, and that lovely chap mandela, not sure he was a god botherer, but he certainly acted in the tradition of terrorists historically.
...and then we come to which god we should pray to. Its alright thinking that the christian god is the right one, but a thousand or so years ago, you may have been praying to Odin (He deserves capitalisation), and before that there were Zeus and his lot. I'll bet they're mightily fed up with being bypassed by these new trendy upstarts. If we had been born in India or Pakistan, we would have been brought up with other gods, and if none of that was good enough, you can always make your own religion up, place the garden of eden in the state of missouri and call the american indians the ten lost tribes of israel.
This country had a prime minister who said that he would always support israel, and ensured that the (allegedly) barbaric and frowned-upon practice of kosher butchery would remain legal in this country, because his great grandfather was a German jew.
'Oh my goodness', I hear them cry,' this man is anti semitic.'
(Knee jerk response to any criticism of israel)
Condemn israel for stealing land from Palestine and killing Palestinian innocents (like terrorists do when they attack this country) and start standing up for the Palestinians. (Not Hammas)
....and while we're at it, take away the bbc censorship on news about Palestine too, unbiased reporting is what we want.
....or, you could just pray.
Fat lot of good that will do you.

Not just aimed at you Vic, aimed at anyone who thinks praying to their respective choice of deity will make one jot of difference to anything that happens on this earth and the entire universe other than making themselves feel better and if it does that then all well and good.

There is a pattern emerging Bob, though I can't for the life fathom who is responsible. I will speak to my Imam after Friday prayers, he normally knows everything.

Well, I guess a major 'retaliatory' attack was bound to happen sometime and, if that's what this is, I suppose that, in the sad and peculiar mind of the perpetrator, it seemed 'justified'. But it isn't.
And if I sound weary, that's because I am.

Continuing our theme of 'nothing to do with religion' and 'Islam is a religion of peace' (like f***!) here's a little light reading from my friends in the HJS about our best friends, the head chopping sand peasants, funding terrorism.

For goodness sake are we still going on about this, resurrecting hatred does not show anyone in a good light.
People of all religions have done awful things in the past, so called Christians included for example the Irish situation where evil things were done by both sides.

Much of this terrorism could be stopped if the Saudi royal family stopped paying for Mosques to be built around the world promoting Wahhabism and also financing terror groups. Unfortunately we have a big market selling arms to them so that they can bomb poor Yemenis.

You're right up to a point Jan, but it should be remembered that the islamists are in a league of their own when it comes to barbarity and this is happening in the here and now, not umpteen years ago.

Howard, Saudis are correct in bombing Iran-backed insurgents attempting to overthrow internationally recognised governmentnt of Yemen.
