A lot of people fall into the trap that Islam is a religion of peace. In reality, this is a nicety invented by Western politicians so not to offend their Muslim populations or simply lie to themselves that everything might yet turn out fine. The trouble is, since its beginning Islam has been pretty violent.
Growth of populist and nationalist right wing ideology in Europe a problem? Yes. Why? See above.

Who said it's not a problem?
I myself think Brexit is the most important thing at the moment. Doesn't mean that's the nation's only issue does it? Why put words into people's mouths just to then shout them down for saying something they haven't said.

A fair point, that's pretty much applicable to religion - If you have to state overtly how peaceful you are, then chances are you're not peaceful. Bit like how people tell you how they don't actually hate gays, but they're Christians, and so justified in being homophobic c**ts.

Islam, Christianity and Judaism, are the big three monotheist bulls**t religions - and they stem from a part of the world where there has been conflict since before they even existed.

You had George Bush and Blair talking about god in relation to their war in Iraq. Monotheistic religions have been a problem for people in the UK since the arrival of Christianity. Militancy and monotheistic religion has gone hand in hand for centuries (and there is nothing more dangerous that armed people, fuelled by an absolute moral truth).

I think some forms of Islam, notably Sulfist Islamist are a threat to lives in the UK. I don't think they really ever have the capacity to change our way of life and values, unless we let them. Terrorism is a threat to life, but not to the UK as a state or countries existence.

There isn't really anything we can do about it, either. We can march or protest, but the reality is that a lot of the groups doing that are a threat to the way of life of the UK - Demanding things like internment (imprisonment without trial), deportation of suspects on the basis of suspicion - effectively undermining British values that have stood since the inception of magna carta.

That's why I fear the far right more. Islamist can only kill or wound me. The far right, gaining traction on its 'Islam' propaganda threatens to undermine fundermental British Values, that have stood for centuries.

Yep, especially when people embrace the idealised outcome of Brexit, in which everything is all sunshine rainbows and no consequences, and will deliver magic pie to all, and no consequences what so ever at all.

Especially once that human rights act is out of the way. I can't see Islamist terrorism ever destroying our human rights for starters, but sure, it'll be just fine to hand those over to a series of governments that have fallen foul of them since 1998

That couldn't possibly have any consequences...

Islamic terrorists are a threat to UK lives, and should be considered a major threat in that regard. They won't however change our way of life.
