They're just confirming that they received a complaint and will investigate accordingly, which is probably just S.O.P.

The complaint wasn't about the tweet in the picture. The complaint was about her calling for a final solution to Muslims.ffs..
This pic was going around Twitter and Reddit last night and was declared fake
I believe it's from a terrorist attack a couple years ago
I am not 100% sure it's fake, but that is what I've read from multiple people and I sure hope it is
That looks absolutely horrible
Eh?
In what context would calling Catholics non-Christian make sense?
Maybe its a translation issue, but as far as here goes: Catholics, Orthodox, Copts, Protestants, and the independent confessions are all Christians, naturally.
Or did the American-centric nomenclature change it so that the biggest confession over there are the 'true' Christians?
Damn ass talk-to-text...*foyer*
Heh heh
I know that's right, I've been using a kindle for the last couple weeks and the keyboard /auto correct is horrendous...I've probably made more grammatical errors in the last two weeks than in the preceding two years lol
I personally see them as under the blanket of Christianity, but they do operate differently in their practices, and there are fundamental differences in the belief systems. Perhaps I was splitting hairs, but I was simply pointing out that even the Christian blanket is made up of people who believe and worship in very measurably different ways. I was alluding to the fact that establishing a government based on a particular religion gets muddy due in part to denominational differences, not to mention it being slightly discriminatory. I definitely should have written a longer post and provided more context.Eh?

UK just went on critical alert.
Risk of attack is very high
Risk of attack is very high
Do you know if this is based on further intelligence or just caution after the occurrence of an attack yesterday?
Although I personally believe there should be separation of church and state virtually every western country was founded on Christian principles. Even most of our most obvious seeming laws are pulled from the Bible.
Further intelligence. Just heard the pm's presser.
Hope your family over there is safe.
It was done so in a much different world. I don't doubt the utility of Christian principles, and I am not anti-Christian by any means, I just don't think "the Bible says so, thus it should be law" should ever be accepted in a society which prides itself on the principle of religious freedom. There are things that can be used in the bible, but those things can be understood as justified through means other than the fact that it's what god intends.
Damn. I was hoping that wasn't the case. Thanks for the information.
I understand why they made that announcement
Trying to stop a stampede
"Thanks for coming and having a good time tonight. Ignore that suicide bomb that just detonated."
Found it creepy how calm they were compared to the panic shown right after the explosion. Guy's words were effective.
and I don't think it's generally that black and white. The concept of religious freedom in itself is a biblical concept. "Judge not lest ye be judged" and all that jazz.
Some more info on the alleged bomber. Apparently he was friendly with an ISIS recruiter who was killed by drone last year. Weird there are no photos yet.
Manchester bomber Salman Abedi 'was a pal of ISIS recruiter'
Manchester bomber Salman Abedi 'was a pal of ISIS recruiter'
They seem reluctant to release info at all. When I was driving to work this morning they had said they knew the identity of the bomber but were withholding it.
You could be right about it not being that black and white, but can you elaborate on that idea a bit? I'm not trying to bait you or anything; I'd genuinely like to hear your thoughts expanded on the subject.
Simply because you can point to a virtue existed in the bible does not necessarily mean that the virtue originated in the bible and wouldn't exist if not for the bible, so while freedom of religion may be a biblical concept (I think that's extremely debatable), the concept itself implies that we should not base its adoption on its being biblical. We should never omit ideas simply because they were in the bible, but we also should never accept them for the same reason.
Also, and this is just my own feeling, I don't think a belief system that indicates that all non-believers will go to hell can really boast a belief in religious freedom. The great flood doesn't really scream religious relativism.
