They aren't particularly interested in publicity as there is always going to be publicity for attacks. The Internet provides access to supporters...so it's just the default terror tactic.

Apart from just killing you as the disbeliever they want to undermine your belief in the state's capacity to keep you safe. That set groups to defend themselves and hence attack each other and start a civil war....so the thinking goes.

Then they emerge as victors from that war....or so the thinking goes.....But I doubt any really believe that.

They tried and partly succeeded in Iraq....it didn't work because of the demographics.

So really...it's just for zealots to strike at the enemy to gain access to heaven.

Who is suggesting 'internment for all Muslims'? You offer nothing but you sure like to demonise anyone looking for effective responses.

Stripping of nationality and deportation to paid countries for radicals we have proof on.

National strategy on Islam in Britain given to Islamic reformers.

Immigration policy that encourages secular Muslims in favour of overtly religious ones. In fact secular people in general

We have a population problem in this country from the success of a high life expectancy and too many immigrants coming in.

We only want those we need.

Does poking infidels in the eye with a burnt stick count as 'surgery'?

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Only Argentina's and Belgium's culture isn't that different to our's compared to a death cult from the middle east in the name of Islam.

I don't see boroughs emptying of British people because of migration into the area from similar cultures.

Possibly - although its worth remembering that prior to 2001 the number of radical muslim terrorists in the UK was effectively a zero, and this is very specifically a problem, with a specific section of Sunni Muslims (the same issue doesn't seem to be a problem in relation to Shia Muslims).

Radicals aren't born, they're made, and 20 years ago, there definitely wasn't a problem with Islamic terrorism in the UK.

But we do need to be aware that there is a need to find resolutions to deal with the appeal of this Islamist cause - and that will be a long term problem - Islam isn't going to just disappear in the UK - and nor is this cancer within a section of the UK muslim population - There will always be some to whom this kind of death cult mentality will appeal.

Twenty years ago, there were under one percent of Muslims living in the country. There are under one percent of Muslims living in Japan now and they have never had attacks either.

Islam isn't going to disappear in the UK, that is true...it's a faith like any other.

But Islam is a faith with popular doctrines that have inherent rejections of integration and westernization. They rightly know it leads to secularization.

Islamic reformers have ideas on overcoming these issues. But they are demonised rather than backed.

The Shia/Sunni aspect is an interesting aspect that can be explored.
