Really? The attacks in this country have been all done by born n bred British nationals. The guy who killed Lee rigby had a broad cockney accent.

 

That is irrelevant. The larger the number, whether home grown or imported, it is easier for the bad ones to hide.

Have you asked yourself why these attacks take place in the UK, France, Belgium & Germany, yet they don't in countries like Poland or Hungary ?

Simple, it is easier to attack here because it is easier to hide.

With regard to Lee Rigby; if MI5 hadn't been so keen to get Adebalajo to "switch sides" instead of putting him behind bars, then Lee just might still be alive today.

ISIS would tell you they target U.K., France, Belgium, Germany, Spain and indeed America due to our perceived 'meddling in the Middle East affairs'

poland, Hungary and indeed other states who appear not to 'meddle in their affairs' such as Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Romania, Portugal etc are left alone. 

i am not an apologist for any terror organisations but your argument is factually flawed. It's nothing to do with how many foreigners you have , more how you are percieved foreign policy wise. 

I actually support our foreign policy on fighting terror (although didn't support the Iraq or Afghan invasions) the attempt to suppress terror is fundamentally right and they don't like it so we get bombed.

I love my fellow English men and women (and indeed fellow British men and women) enough to value their liberty, safety and peace. That includes their librety to follow a religion of their choosing, including Islam.

More practically, if there is one lesson to be learned from history, it is that banning anything never ever works. It simply drives people underground. And frankly the vast majority of Islamic terrorists are people who identify as Muslim culturally but feel disconnected from both their religion and mainstream Muslim society. Generally speaking people who might see themselves as from Muslim backgrounds (whatever that means) but not go to mosques or follow the Koran and, up until the point of radicalisation, might be engaging with drugs, alcohol, strip clubs, casual sex or other behaviour that is not perceived as Islamic - hence the desperate violent desire to prove their faith in some dramatic way because they struggle to do the small acts on a day to day basis.

Banning Islam has three fundamental flaws:

1. As previously stated, it is erroneous to think you can successfully ban a religion. Any religion. It just will not work.

2. It will drive people away from traditional Muslim places of worship, where terrorists tend not to go, and to the places where radical jihadists might actually be.

3.Given the mainstream Muslim community is not in itself the problem, banning the mainstream Muslim community will not be an effective solution.

If you actually read interviews with people who have joined IS, they are often gang members who have chosen to join what they see as the biggest gang in the world. Solving the problem of radical Islamic terror is far more likely to be achieved by tackling the reasons why people join gangs than by ill-conceived and doomed attempts at stopping people following a religion.

Islam is the root cause of this attack.

In the same way that Christianity was the root cause of the IRA bombings?

No, religion didn't come into it, murderous criminals with a political chip on their shoulders were responsible. As LB implies above, much the same thing here, criminal gang mentality.

Sorry, but you are wrong.

Poland played a significant role in the Iraq war, during the invasion and the occupation directly afterwards.

See below.

Poland took a far greater role than Germany did (which was purely financial).

Time and time again posters on here blame these atrocities upon actions that took place years ago.

gl1 ... come on dude ...

Where did the parents of these 2nd or 3rd generation muslims come from (English converts notwithstanding)?

The amount of crime that has followed the mass invasions of illegal economic migrants has been horrific.  Do we need more of that?

If they settle here, and then have children ... What then?

Dunno fella, you seem to have the answers.  Deportation? Castration?

I've not mentioned wars, only that countries who actively support the war on terror seemed to get bombed. The amount of foreigners living there is irrelevant. That's my point

Ok, I have given you evidence regarding Poland's involvement.

Tell me why, in your opinion, that as of today, Poland has not been targeted by Islamist terrorists ?

Because there is no point bombing there. All the poles are over here taking our jobs...

Still many parents waiting for news on their children. Just cant imagine what they are going through. Sure most of us here are parents. Truly heartbreaking.

Petty arguements should be left for another day imo.

WHo cares about motives. 

 

I would hope anyone who wants to stop this from happening again cares about the motive. Unless we actually understand what is happening and address it then it is going to keep happening. The problem with your 'solutions' is not that people might consider them unpalatable or that they might be considered 'politically incorrect'. Who gives a damn about any of that. The problem is that, if you ignore or misdiagnose the reasons why, any proposed solutions are never going to work.

How is this relevant to what a muslim does?

Does it excuse last night's massacre?

 

You're wrong I'm afraid.

The clue is when these bastards quote from the Koran just before they pull the pin.

The fact that they, as people, are savages is beside the point, they think they are heading towards Islamic martyrdom.

Missed the point just a tad? Neither the actions of the so-called Islamist extremists nor those of the so-called Catholic extremists can be justified. Neither are supported by their respective religions. They were/are carried out by murderers using their warped interpretations of their religions as some kind of justification.

It goes without saying, doesn't it, that the vast majority from all religions abhor terrorism and murder?

Sorry to come back at you but this is completely incorrect.

Ok, let's just agree to disagree fella. This forum after what's happened today is not the place for an argument. I think we add do agree that these deaths are a catastrophe and our hearts go out to the friends and family of all concerned.

But we know why this is happening (at least some people do) - Islam hates the West.  Islam has hated everything other than itself from practically day one.

Here's my source:  https://quran.com/

 

 

 

I could refer you back to my previous post. And we could carry on going round in circles. But it probably will not achieve much. In all honestly, I'm quite happy with how I've put my arguments across so far on this thread and don't have anything to add to them - I could rebut what you have just said but I've already explained why I think you are wrong (particularly if you are implying most Islamic terrorists take their cues from a book the majority of Islamic terrorists are not very familiar with). I would add that I think you have put your points very eloquently, as you almost invariably do. But I think you are absolutely wrong and searching for solutions that fit your worldview rather than solutions backed up by evidence. I think I may leave it there as we are not going to agree and I do agree with @Super that this is far too serious and sensitive subject to denigrate it into a squabble.

 

Edit: Just seen you and @gl1 have reached a similar position!

The religion of peace is about to celebrate its holy month of ramalamalamalamadingdong which they do by killing infidels.  Starts Friday IIRC.

Charming people, what!

Here is their holy song:

Often by communication interception or Social Media activity - 'chatter' 

or possibly as a result of last night , and initial examinations etc they may believe we have a bomb maker in Uk
