Macca I appreciate the point you are making but why are these threats raised to severe for people committing less than 2% of the violence but the other 98% is not an issue?

That is inherent bias or skewed priorities. Simply because the facts suggest otherwise.

Yesterday someone showed me a clip from Fox News, which I shall try and find a link for, which basically just told outright lies about Muslims in Britain and the EU.
It's as scary as it is funny, I mean, that's their actual news.

I can pass for one of them if I get a proper tan and let my hair and beard grow. I'll be fine.

Have people considered that we do not heat about the other terror attacks because they target minorities? And foreigners?

It's blatantly obvious that the religious extremism threat is far worse than any other threat right now in the UK. I was out last night in Leicester Square and there were armed police outside all the cinemas and restaurants. It's not just a media invention.

Your article mentions the low number of religious extremist attacks. But it doesn't take into account that the number is most likely going to increase massively in the next few months. War has been declared on the West and no doubt we'll see far more attacks and the statistics you provided will change over the next year or so.

Terror attacks sole purpose is not to murder people.

The after effect is the real target

Not so many in Britain, plenty in the Middle East. A fair few were British

Not sure, would have to Google it.

I can think of the 77 attacks and the soldier. In that same time policemen have been killed in the UK by right wingers and in the North. We also had the bomber who was stopped by the police, the polish guy who bombed mosques as well.

Why pick any time frame? Let's pick the last month. How many religious versus non extremist attacks have their been in that period?

Since ISIS started their campaign there has been a marked increase in attacks against the West and they seem far more likely to cause a terror attack in the UK than any other non religious terrorist organisation. That's a fact. You can shift the goalposts and now use right wing politics as something which is now the same as a terrorist attack but you'd be wrong.

I admire than you took the time to fight the fight against people persecuting Islam but you didn't need to do that. No-one on here is scared of the muslim on the street. We are quite rightly terrified of the extremists who want to kill us just because we don't believe in fairy tale stories.

Both sides of the debate on this are just as bad as the other. You can't criticise western media and the danger and perception it is guilty of creating whilst also quoting from an Internet source that doesn't even define the context it has used.

It is the same in the charlie hebdo thread where I'm increasingly convinced those offended by it (and some defending it) have never even read the magazine itself and are instead copying the opinion of bloggers and frantically searching google to find an image to be outraged about for all the wrong and stupid reasons.

It's why debates like this should not be had on a football forum and need to stop.

Brick lane nail bomber

Old chap murdered on his way home from mosque..

Seems that right wing extremist elements don't get labelled as terrorists.
