A sad story and my heart to all those who lost life,were injured or had to see this but the brave Tunisians clearly weren't in cahoots with the terrorist with many risking their life to try and stop him but as you can see it fell on deaf ears.
This is typical regarding groups as isis and other terrorist groups and many of the worlds muslims to my knowledge.

Many don't want their brand of murder,brutality and violent terrorism but the terrorists only hear the demons in their heads commanding them to kill innocent people.

Just a little food for thought.

Have a :) day.

Broseph...don't feed the Trolls !
Who are the trolls, Mikey?
Yes, Mikey. Who are the trolls?
Anti-western sentiments are not new to Tunisia. They are well established - but perhaps those who only travel the tourist trail have never noticed.
The Tunisians whom tried to help were indeed brave. This story breaks my heart.
The horror of it and the unexpectedness does exactly what the murderers wanted - cause fear and terror, and widespread terror at that.

So to answer the OP, no I don't. (However, I would've omitted the word 'still' from your question - that in itself is a tad presumptuous).
Here is a good definition of an Internet Troll ::::

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

From the link :::

"A Troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion"

There only a very few on AB, but its fairly obvious who they are. One of the ways of identifying them is that they rarely, if ever, add anything of value or interest to any debate. I certainly have no intention of naming them, but they generally self-identify, so I don't need to give them any more publicity !

They are rather like Anjem Choudary, in that they know exactly how far to go, without actually going that extra millimeter and get themselves banned.

As I have said many times before, best ignored.
I think you're mixing up real trolls with people that hold a different opinion to you, Mikey.

People don't disagree with you just to get a reaction. You are so left wing that loads of people disagree with you.
Mikey, No surprise there! You accuse people without giving them the opportunity to defend themselves. Have the courage of your convictions!
For me, Ratter's link at 12:01 says it all.

It is accepted that not all Muslims are terrorists but it is seems that most terrorists are Muslim.

Ummm...I have no problem debating with people who have differing views to myself. In fact, if we all had the same views and opinions, what would we debate about ? It would be very boring !

If I can name two regulars on here, who I nearly always disagree with but do not act like Trolls....TTT and Naomi. They can debate and disagree with me, and others but never resort to Trollism. I would include you in that category as well, and in fact, most of us on here can have lively debates, with resorting to personal abuse. Its the small minority on here that add the poison, and its these that I ignore. There used to be a regular called Karan Kay ( I think) and she went so far over the top, that she got banned, never to be seen again. Personally, I would have preferred the Editor to censure her worst posts but allow her to remain.

You seem to imply that I am too left wing ! My left wing views are in the minority here on AB, as you say, but I am sure you wouldn't want to stifle debate because of that. I am proud of my political views and they may be somewhat out of fashion on AB, but times change.

For instance, I would have loved AB to have been around when Labour won its massive landslide victory in 1997....I wonder what our majority right-wing ABers would have made of that ! Alas we will never know.
Naomi...they know who they are, have no doubt about it !
As usual Mikey adds nothing other than...you're all bigots and I'm not.
mikey4444 Broseph..

/// When I was a boy, I regularly got significant approbrium because my father was Irish and we were Catholics, therefore we were all the same, just like the IRA terrorists. I had to fight my way out of many playground scraps, every time the IRA were active ///

Such a sad, oft told, story. It would bring a tear to a glass eye. However, to be fair to Welsh people I have to tell you, I had an Irish father, I was brought up a Catholic, and yet not once in my life did anyone attack me because of something the IRA did.
Maybe, just maybe, there was another reason our young hero got attacked on a regular basis.

Whatever could that be, I wonder?
I, actually, do have an inkling, balders. But I couldn't possibly say. ;D

That pretty much sums up the OP I am afraid, especially when he seems so grateful for comments such as "Islam is filth" (!)
If that isn't feeding and watering the beast I don't know what is

/As usual Mikey adds nothing other than...you're all bigots and I'm not./

I disagree and add as usual when mikey speaks the world stands up and listens!

/Broseph...don't feed the Trolls !/

Thanks mikey but I have rhino skin and broad shoulders so can take the flak when it hits me but it's unfortunate that if you have a strong or different opinion or are new and upset the hierarchy of a website you're immediately seen as a threat to the structure but if people actually asked me they'd see i'm not here to rattle cages,upset the status quo or make anyone upset I'm just here to ask,answer and if my views are different to yours then so be it we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Got to run now so have a peaceful night all.
and you Broseph - you have school in the morning
