Dontcha love stats. If theer are 2,700,000 Muslims in England and Wales then the 11% who approve of action to fight against western interests is 297,000. It would be unreasonable to say that all of these were radical or dangerously radical. Let's say that just 0.5% of that sub-group have extreme views. That is only about 4000 lunatics - that's OK then.
Just think of the carnage 40 could do, let alone 400 or 4000 as the figures suggest! Scary.
You obviously aren't worried by this possibility.... Okay, they might be "fabricated" figures but still scary to a lot of us!
That's an incredibly vague heading for a group of people - I am sympathetic towards those who have Western interests shoved down their throats, and think that is the root cause of a lot of the problems we are facing currently - it doesn't mean I approve of extremism, and it certainly doesn't make me a terrorist.

"Western interests shoved down their throats?" No one begged this group to come and live here and compared to where they have come from we are pretty tolerant encouraging them to keep their faith, build mosques etc. In pakistan the situation is pretty much be a Muslim or leave the country... have you seen any Cathedrals built there? Didn't we occupy their countries for long periods of history, as somewhat less than integrated immigrants, given that most British Muslims come from pakistan, North Africa etc. It seems a bit 'out of order' to have a history of invading and occupying a third of the world, and having essentially 'told them how to live' and then get a bit shirty when people who come here aren't fawning with gratitude. And we did kind of encourage a large number of people to come and live here in the 1960s, 70s and 80s as a direct policy of the UK. They're the sons and daughters of people most of them will have been born here, and probably have a rather similar romanticised view of the past. Anyone so bitter about our colonial past should not be moving here. Sure we encouraged migrant workers but that would not be enough for me if I were that embittered. You can't come here for a better life and then bite the hand that feeds you.

Can you noobz please understand that 8 non-UK citizen/residents could waltz into London by whatever means and do whatever they wanted? Giving every one of your vaguely Arabic looking neighbors the screwface is not going to prevent murderous sociopaths from taking a commercial plane from some training camp to Gatwick, meeting up at some barfy hotel in Swindon and going over the details of how to f!@# everything up.

I refuse to be concerned about terrorism until I am statistically more likely to be blown up than to be hit by a car. Atm, despite the media's best attempts, I'm not having any sleepless nights.

Thing is Hoof, I remember going to pubs in N.London in the early ninties to watch bands and get very drunk indeed, and their would be collection buckets handed round some of the unsavoury pubs collecting money for "the cause" which was just another way of saying the IRA. Nobody did f*** all about that, never made the press, no one said anything about it really, in that area it was common practice. It just makes me think to what level support for these ISIS wnakers is going on in Islamic strongholds like east and North London, and certain parts of North England (and I include Bedford in North England ) I just hope it's not as widespread and as casually accepted now, as it was back then.

Based on the structure of previous attacks in Europe, they're very likely to be UK citizens or residents. Its probably a major issue to focus on why that 11% feel the way they do, and where possible act to incorporate their 'views' and 'issues' into mainstream politics, so that they aren't drawn into increasing alienation of society and ultimately extremism. Although arguably if their desire is to f**k everything up, its probably a fact that successive governments reaction to the threat of terrorism has done far more damage to the UK way of life than any terrorist could achieve.

He does have a major point, fear of terrorism is one of the key factors of such acts. In reality the chances of being killed by terrorist actions are negligible in terms of threat, even compared to the risk of being murdered or a victim of a violent crime. There isn't really anything, individually we can do, except maybe integrate ourselves into the Muslim sub community to some degree (improves our capacity for vigilance, Muslim friends might be less willing to go to the police with suspicions but they might be happy to share them with other less 'tied' friends). That's if you actually want to do something productive rather than march around with the likes of the EDL / Britain First, making the problem worse.

And how do you know the message of the rest of the UK? You're assuming that the rest of the UK agrees with your standpoint, which really couldn't be further from the truth. As I said, I sympathise with those in countries who have had their lives ruined by 'Western Interests', and I suspect many other non-muslims feel the same - holding that viewpoint does not make someone a terrorist.
Christianity is as bad as most, but only Islam advocates killing non-believers.... so as such has upped the ante. Secondly - no it wasn't clear..... the initial post I responded to was talking about the Muslim population in the UK.
