“What ISIS really want.”  [VIDEO]

ISIS SUPPORTER … [The] enemies of the Muslims may be aware of what the Muslims are planning, but it won’t benefit them at all as they prefer to either keep their heads in the sand, or to fight their imaginary war based upon rational freedom-loving democrats vs. irrational evil terrorist madmen. With this in mind, maybe you can understand to some degree one of the reasons why many Muslims will share your piece. It’s not because we don’t understand what it is saying in terms of how to defeat the Muslims, rather it’s because we know that those in charge will ignore it and screw things up anyway.”  Source: ‘What ISIS Really Wants’: The Response

Contact Your MSPs

MSPs are your representatives. To help defeat the Assisted Suicide Bill, the most effective action you can take is to write to your MSPs to make known your opposition. It’s always best to write in your own words, but nothing complicated is required. All you need to do is state your opposition to the bill and ask where your MSP stands on the issue. You can give specific reasons why you oppose the bill, especially ones personal to you, but it is not essential. Remember that you have a number of regional list MSPs as well as your constituency MSP – they are all waiting to hear from you!

To find your MSPs’ contact details simply click here and enter your postcode.
