Do you know....I've just read through this thread and I feel I need to put my point across.
Firstly, those so called "terroirsts" should rot....damn well rot in hell for what they did to that soldier in London, made me sick it did, so much so that I couldn't even begin to watch any footage of it because that's what they want. The same way that any murderer should be taken to task. Let's hope they both live long enough to have the c**p beaten out of them in prison.
Secondly, we are too much of an interfering country in other's affairs, too quick to back America in whatever the crisis is this year. We had no right to go into Afghanistan backing the US, but we did and now we are suffering the consequences at home. What next? Do we go into North Korea because they are sabre rattling? Like hell we will.
Now for the crux of the matter. Religion is evil and is just an excuse used to murder people by some insane nations. Someone said to me the other day that the British Soldier deserved it because he was wearing a shirt that was pro-British. WTF would you expect to see in a British street? God help us if we ever feel the need to celebrate our national pride. The same person said to me when the anger was apparent that not all muslims / islams are the same. While this is true can you imagine the reaction in Iraq/Iran if we tried to build a church in their country? I don't think it would last long do you? Would they campaign to have it closed down do you think? No....They would bomb it, burn it straightaway and probably kill anyone who was deemed to be non-islamic. That's the difference in our socities.
Finally, things are way out of control in OUR country. We should stay out of others and mind our own affairs. We are at war basically...Can you imagine if during WW2 Coventry was getting bombed and someone said "Oh...it's terrible...but some of those Germans must be quite nice really". Can you seriously imagine that? Fight fire with fire...and my opening gambit would be to make anyone who has settled here since the 70's when they could sneak in undetected from the Middle East. re-apply for their right to stay in the UK. Anyone who has nothing to hide will have nothing to fear. I could go on but I won't. I am not a racist but when there is a war on, then surely we need to treat it as such.
