Saudi Pilot Called Us 'nation Of Evil' Before Shooting Spree At Florida Airbase
//A Saudi pilot who killed three people on a US airbase in Florida had called America a "nation of evil" and quoted Osama bin Laden in social media posts hours before opening fire, according to an extremism monitoring group.
The killer, a member of the Royal Saudi Air Force who had been training at the Pensacola airbase, was shot dead by a sheriff's deputy.
He has not been formally identified, although Reuters quoted two unnamed officials as saying he was Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani.
The SITE Intelligence Group, which tracks Islamist extremism online, said that he had posted on Twitter about US wars in the Middle East shortly before the shootings.
Police have said they are investigating whether the attack was terror-related...//

HereIam, //YOU GO GIRL ...//
Haha! Thanks hereIam. I think there are a couple of people here who wish I would. Nothing pseudo about your intellect. ;o)
Spicerack, //Didn't know you were racial, Naomi.//
It’s news to me too. You can learn such a lot here. Would you believe that after all these years I’ve just learnt today that it’s okay to be as rude as you like to people if you think they’re thick skinned? Amazing.

No. My comment wasn't meant to highlight Theland as a racist, more the sentiment Theland was trying to shake off.
If someone classes you as a racist, (this apparently happened before my answer at 15:10) then you may not be in a position to be able to tell others if they are a racist or not. Racists tend to dismiss racism.
Vulcan, if Theland could highlight where someone called him a racist then maybe I could highlight to you where Theland was racist.

although I agree with the sentiment - the 22 in Manch have outstanding inquests after two years - why? we know who they are and how they died.
it is also a theme in America which doesnt seem to occur here - members of the armed forces shooting each other up.
The Times had a confusing article on this - he showed videos of mass shootings at a dinner party he hosted. Two watched from a parked car and one filmed from around the corner.
[excuse me?]

Thelands answer on this thread at 21:23 Sun 08th Dec 2019 is a bit racy. Theland is implying terrorists only arrive from outside our borders. Considering the most recent terrorist attack was from a man born and bred in England I'm unsure how people can imply these kind of things.
Political terror attacks usually stem from people who these politics affect. Religious terror attacks are situations in themselves, but considering religions are confined by borders or race, why mention it?
It's bordering on racism but I'm not one to look for things when they're not there.

[what you learnt that today?]
The problem Trump has, is that Saudi is an ally and need to be kept so, but ALSO seems to be heavily implicated in financing terrorism.
which is not a problem unless your own dough-boys are getting blown to smithereens
Osama bin L was related ( and might have taken money from) the saudi royal family, it wasnt just a coincidence
