There just doesn't exist any other multi-bodycount inducing terrorism in Europe on a regular basis other than Islamic terrorism right now. And most of the posters here are European/Western. We have Breivik in 2011, as awful as he is, but he can not alone establish a pattern. The IRA and other separatist terrorr groups are a generation or two past, on the other hand. They won't strike at your night grill next week. Islamic terrorism, be as it may that some of the perps are second generation migrants, has been imported very recently (unlike Irish or Basque grievances for example) and it is current and re-current.

People are right to think if we made a mistake and to worry?

Hey I swear, if there was the Army of Jesus Christ the Great in the Middle-East, destablizing cities with millions, throwing dudes off buildings for being gay, skinning people alive and selling teenagers to slavery, yep people would be "gently caress this Christian army poo poo and gently caress that religion" (no matter how many forms of the religion exist) and not because they were racist. Actually, there are even now people who say this, even though no such army exists they just hate christians on tumblr but I digress...

If there were attacks in Europe by migrants from Nazi-Germany (not possible, let's say imaginary area from Middle/Far-East), who shouted "SHIVA IS GREAT!" or "JESUS IS GREAT!" or "BUDDHA IS GREAT!" and blew up or machigunned people in concerts or drove trucks into crowds regularly, Europeans would be quite distressed and think maybe these Jesus or Buddha guys and those who serve them are a problem and that there would be probably be a bigger problem at hand than "well ur just as likely to die from worms or lighting or falling of a roof".

Dissident republicans have killed four people in the last 8 years in terror attacks, and have tried to kill a lot more with their usually being a foiled bomb/rocket/gun attack every couple of months - the fact northern Ireland has a more persuasive security state than the rest of the UK kind of hampers them.

Sure there was a high enough profile prosecution recently of a dissident republican who had infiltrated the army and was caught stockpiling explosive material with a direct plan to launch attacks.

Its a thing

The problem is that your solution is to kill them. Either actively or through exposure.

Mind you exposure to your posts is actively harmful too.

My favourite part of the whole "global jihad" thing is that the high-ranking jihadis in 2003 thought that they had pretty much lost the fight, right until the US and UK invaded Iraq lol

Maybe if we treat muslims in the UK and Europe as if they are welcome members of society and don't try to pin the blame on a foreign looking "other" every time this happens we can cut down on these sorts of attacks? Nah, that sounds like pussy poo poo, let's bomb Syria some more.

I'm assuming you mean "pervasive" there rather than "persuasive", but I'm tickled by the idea of ex-RUC rozzers knocking on the doors of dissident Republicans and talking them into standing down over a cuppa.

Only if you're building the biggest straw man ever to argue with. You can acknowledge the difficulty of having those communities and still manage them in a humanitarian way. You're going to get more attacks, but it's probably better than getting too extreme. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to stop importing people from the areas of the world where this ideology is popular in the meantime, though.

Well I guess I could make a pretty elaborate post explaining to Ligur why he's a total and complete idiot who keeps on reposting the same old tired Islamophobic garbage as he does in every thread he slithers into. That post would make no difference because that post has been made again and again and again by so many people and still Ligur posts his dumb as balls bullshit all over this forum. Nonetheless, I feel like his brainworm posting is unacceptable so I express it by calling him an idiot - with the sole intent of creating a hostile environment for bad ideas like his. It won't convince him, because he thrives on that stuff - being the tiny babby man that he is. But once upon a time, he was probably just kind of dumb but not yet into the whole pseudo-fascism that he usually advocates - and maybe, hopefully, if enough of a hostile environment had been created around his garbage beliefs, he might have gone down a different route and could've been an idiot with a different less garbage ideology.

And as a bonus perk, it also feels good. Now poo poo off.

What's the odds on any of these fuckos actually knowing any Muslims, pretty drat slim is my bet.

Coz after night all the ones I know are loving terrified to go out lest some EDL oval office tries to jump them, or chucks a brick through their window, or worse.

It's almost like attacks like these are meant to drive a wedge between Muslims and the rest of society or something.

The suicide bomber who killed 22 people and injured dozens more at the Manchester Arena has been named as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, according to US officials.
Born in Manchester in 1994, the second youngest of four children his parents were Libyan refugees who came to the UK to escape the Gaddafi regime.
