Spot on MK. They are intent on killing all " non believers" which includes any Muslims who have adopted Western culture. I have been looking at some of the teachings in the Quoran to try to attempt to understand what true Muslims believe in. First thing that struck me is that Muslims who follow the true teachings of Allah do not believe in violence in any form. Some of the basic principles of Islam are not too far removed from the Christian teachings outlined in the Bible. For example they have a similar " commandment" to Christians re- "Love thy neighbour as thyself." They also have " thou shalt not kill." The only difference is they add the rider " except for the purposes of justice." That apparently gives these lunatics the right to carry out " jihad" ( Holy war) to take retribution on anyone who in their eyes is an "infidel". Seemingly to them that category embraces "anyone" trying to resist Daesh or opposes their aim as you say to establish an all consuming Caliphate ( the reign of a Muslim ruler as a successor to Mohammed) who will govern and impose strict Sharia laws upon the whole world. We know but they seem not to or don't want to understand that that is never ever ever going to happen.!
Peter Kirkham, former investigating officer in the Met just gave the Government a right old kicking, accusing (rightfully) them of lying about the numbers of armed officers on available. https://twitter.com/EL4JC/status/871334312221736960
Religions all ******** is all I know. Radical Islam is dangerous,pernicious and hateful. Our relationship with Saudi and some other countries is wrong and needs to change. We need to revaluate our foreign policy. Interventionism does have an impact. Cutting police numbers has made us less safe. May should publicly apologise to the Officer she criticised for saying this. We need to invest in education. Community led intervention which has been decimated. There has to be some accountability in government. May failed to adapt policy in tbe face of changing times and in fact made us more not less vulnerable. Whilst you can never stop these nutjobs decreasing police and community workers has not helped. Mostly we can't let the ******* win. Sad times.
These killings are nothing to do with religion no religion on the planet tells you to blow innocent people up or run them over.
Some peoples interpretations of religion do. Most terrorism and most wars at one level or another ( historically speaking) had an element of religion to it. It's not coincidence. Sent from my iPad using Barnsley FC BBS Fan Forum mobile app
I suspect there is enough in the current legislation to get the ball rolling before any potential rewrite or introduction of new policy post election.
Saw on TV earlier that a lot of people caught up in Saturdays atrocity in London have returned to the pubs and restaurants they had to vacate on the orders of the Police to settle their bills for the food and drinks they and their mates had consumed but not paid for. That's absolutely brilliant. Makes you proud to be British.!!!
