Police have confirmed that at least 19 people have been killed in a suspected terror attack at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena.
Officers said a further 50 were injured.
One explosion was reported to have hit the foyer of the building at about 10:30pm, British Transport police said.
Manchester Arena said the incident took place “outside the venue in a public space”.
Multiple witnesses said they heard an explosion, with one telling the Guardian the blast shook the building.

there was some isis twitter account that claimed responsibility for the attack (now suspended, @owys663)

perhaps it has something to do with the fact that jihad is the only way you guarantee yourself going to heaven in the Islamic religion

The Islamic Supreme Council of AmericaWHAT JIHAD IS NOT
Jihad is not a violent concept.
These people and the people committing terrorist attacks in the name of islamic jihad seem to have very different interpretations of what jihad is.
What interpretation is correct? Is it the one we want to believe? The one that we are told everyday is the correct one?
Or is it the one that seems to be acted upon with increasingly frequency and supported by 1/4 of the muslim population?

Islam is by its nature a decentralized religion - essentially any given congregation could have radically different interpretations of scripture and tradition. The Qur'ran even says in the very beginning that the book itself may mean different things to different people at different times.
There isn't an Islamic equivalent to the Pope or Metropolitans - each (generally small) group decides for itself what that small group believes to be correct.
In short, the religion itself *rarely* serves as the pure justification for perpetrating terrorist acts - it just serves a convenient excuse after the fact. If one is bound determined to do harm to another person they'll find any readily handy excuse to do so. Even a cursory knowledge of history could acquaint one with any number of justifications for killing someone. Generally even the most spurious are acceptable in the right conditions.

If you want to make it about religion then you should probably mention the fact that the US just made a $400 billion deal with Saudi Arabia, a fundamentalist Wahhabi Salafi Islamic state that is the single biggest sponsor of Sunni extremism and terrorism in the world
not to mention the fact that you don't hear people saying

funny how that works

it's as pertinent as coming into a thread about a tragedy and pretending to be an expert on how the Qur'an commands Muslims to kill people
my point is that the terrorist groups with that sort of fundamentalism are being funded by US allies, who are all also authoritarian regimes
if someone wants to come in and say I'm oversimplifying things, because sometimes terror attacks are lone actors and ISIS or whoever claims responsibility after the fact, and because a small but still troubling minority of people in the middle east support terrorist attacks against the US and the UK, then I guess I'm just one of many people saying overly simplistic shit in this thread
