How did this Georgiou fella get into the Paras if he was a Greek Cypriot? Presumably he had been born and/or raised here.

The geezer was born in Cyprus and came to England when he was 12. He joined the army as a Commonwealth citizen. I am of Greek extraction too albeit born here and met quite a ...

Well life is totally different for CP and being in the army. As pointed above in the army you have a firm support organisation with medics, mortars, artillery and air strikes if necessary, can call up reinforcements at a moments notice with Warriors etc. Plus us Brits got a relatively easy number ...

I am not so worried about the suicide bit with islamics, it is the murderous bit..

Sandy, ever heard of the Bhuddist monks who committed suicide by self immolation in Vietnam? Ever heard of N. Ireland, where 'gullible' caucasians regularly blew themselves apart, much to the amusement of the bomb disposal chaps, whilst on their way to kill and maim innocent people.
You don't have ...

I am not a bible scholar either Bart although I attend church. Frankly what the Bible says and what the Quran says is not the point. What it is about Islam is that they are using it as a political means of ruling in their countries and when they are here, it doesn't bode well with democracy. Islam ...
