Okay, so are we supposed to hate British-accented people now, too?

Personally, I first thought I was listening to a clip from Dark Knight Rises. I won't see the video, but I'm assuming he didn't have a radiator/model airplane motor strapped to his face.

Are we still just supposed to hate Muslims now? Or Islam in general? His accent made him sound so pleasant, as if he was about to take my luggage up to my suite. In that Bane sort of way.



I hope you understand this is hyperbolic . Shame to say I have to add the disclaimer on DU these days.

Are we sure these men were not using voice moderators? I said these men because there were a few reports that the earlier video was heavily edited and on occasion the knife was in the man's right hand as opposed to his left hand. Some wondered if that meant there might have been more than one killer.

However, I did think the voice sounded mechanical in the second video clip. It sounded British, but there seemed to be something else going on with the voice. I did not watch either video; I just saw clips on CNN.

I get your sarcasm, but I guess the answer to your question is no. I assume you would be told, the British are not the problem; the problem is Muslims living in Britain.

If that presses the question do I hate Muslims then I say why did you have to ask -

box cutters, guns, knives, drones, torture etc. All of them. None is better than the other imho. Catch the killers, all of them, prosecute them and leave them to rot in some dungeon for the rest of their miserable lives.

Unfortunately we generally don't prosecute our own 'war' killers, we move forward, so I guess we'll be doing the same thing here, or is one kind of killer more killerish than other kinds of killers, in which case we'll probably be off to war again, to kill some more people.

A pox on all killers and liars and torturers. I wish I could be god for just, one day!
