''Witnesses said the shopping centre gunman screamed 'I'm German' and 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting'

what don't you don't you understand. The witness's made it up for fun did they Poirot.

If you call leaving out or hiding the fact that this maniac was calling
out 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting kids then I would say they are at best deceiving the public.

Looky here, runner.

Here's another news agency making stuff up!

"Munich (Germany) (AFP) - The lone teenager who shot dead nine people in a gun rampage in Munich was "obsessed" with mass killers such as Norwegian rightwing fanatic Anders Behring Breivik and had no links to the Islamic State group, police said Saturday."

"There is absolutely no link to the Islamic State," Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said.

He said the assault was a "classic act by a deranged person" and described an individual "obsessed" with mass shootings.

He said German investigators saw an "obvious link" between Friday's killings and Breivik's massacre of 77 people in a bomb attack in Oslo and a shooting rampage on the nearby island of Utoya exactly five years earlier.

Most of the victims in Friday's attack were foreigners.

Do not fear! Sonia Kruger, aka Tina Sparkle, will be back tomorrow, for today, on the Today Show, which cannot be tomorrow otherwise it would be the Tomorrow Show and not the Today Show, unless of course that was yesterday. Anyway Sonia will be doing her regular Mixed Grill segment without fear, and minus the kebabs. I can hardly wait, otherwise I'll be off somewhere dancing with the stars.

The announcement comes as media experts warn that the emerging trend of networks getting their own stars to be part of contentious TV debates is a recipe for disaster.

Poirot,

ISIS sprang up in Syria not Iraq, where the insurrection and jihadism was entirely home grown from the Arab spring which you lot supported, and ended up killing far more than either the allied invasion of Iraq or the many more that Saddam Hussein had killed before that.

As for the latest atrocity in Germany, the perpetrator had no direct links to ISIS, but was Muslim of Iranian descent, and identified as muslim when killing, so the links to Islamic terror are definitely there.

Foxy,

In most democratic countries free speech is paramount. The limits you talk about are not actually limits, but the rights of others to take action where there has been deliberate harm caused.

libel is a civil, not criminal, action to recover damages caused by deliberate falsehoods, and the onus is on the plaintiff to prove not only that the allegations were false, but to prove the extent of the damage concerned.

Obscenities are not banned, only restricted on TV, and then not always. Similarly the noise issue you mentioned is a noise issue only. If the person spoke without a megaphone it would be permitted.

Suz,

Being afraid of terrorists is not a link to One nation, as being afraid of sharks or crocodiles does not make you cruel to animals.

Some of you guys think its right to attack Sonia Kruger, but I think she's now being subjected to more discrimination that Man Monis ever was or ever will be. Shame.

SM,

"As for the latest atrocity in Germany, the perpetrator had no direct links to ISIS, but was Muslim of Iranian descent, and identified as muslim when killing, so the links to Islamic terror are definitely there."

That is unadulterated BS...there are no links to ISIS - and you know it if you've read any of the reports from German authorities.

"The 18-year-old gunman who killed nine people in Munich was obsessed with mass shootings but had no known links to the Islamic State group, German police say.

Written material on such attacks was found in his room. Munich's police chief spoke of links to the massacre by Norway's Anders Behring Breivik."

"They are investigating whether he may have lured his victims through a Facebook invitation to the McDonald's restaurant where he launched his attack on Friday evening."

"Police say the Munich-born gunman had been in psychiatric care, receiving treatment for depression."

"Munich police chief Hubertus Andrae said there was an "obvious" link between the new attack and Friday's fifth anniversary of Breivik's attacks in Norway, when he murdered 77 people."

You appear to dismiss Iraq's involvement in the flowering of ISIS.

"Next door in Iraq, an emboldened Nouri al-Maliki waged his own sectarian campaign to consolidate power, betraying promises to his political partners to share it around. Within days of being welcomed at the White House and praised by Barack Obama for his leadership, Maliki returned to Baghdad to mastermind the arrest of his principal Sunni rival, vice-president Tariq al-Hashimi.

Supported by Iran and armed with US-made Humvees, M-16s, and M1A1 tanks, Maliki's forces closed in on Hashimi, only to see him flee to Kurdistan. Dozens of his guards were imprisoned on terrorism charges. At least one of them died under interrogation."

"And so, Syria's unravelling spilled into Iraq, and vice versa. Powerful regional tribes such as the Shammar and Anezah, faced with countless dead and persecuted members in both countries, banded together with former Iraqi and Syrian military officers, embracing Isis jihadis as their frontline shock troops. Cash poured in from sympathetic donors around the region."
