Over the centuries, this country has been attacked by bigger and nastier enemies than the piece of shit who committed this. And you know what? We've seen the fcuckers off each and every time. I hope the bas**rd burns in hell.I work with quite a number of Muslims and whenever something like this goes off they know that the chances of them being abused or attacked increases significantly so it puts them in fear too. At work they're always very quick to condemn these acts as they feel that they're having to apologise for the actions of a complete lunatic. Quite sad really.
To be fair they do mate. It's just perhaps not documented and publicised much. In August 2016 over 30,000 Muslims took part in a convention in Hampshire to demonstrate their rejection of terrorism and extremism. The President of the convention said:"We have much to be grateful for in Britain which has allowed our community to prosper and contribute to British life for over 100 years. We count ourselves proud to call ourselves British Ahmadi Muslims."

Quite sad really.I have to ask this about the Muslim community ,but why are they not taking to the streets in great numbers across Europe in whatever city to demonstrate against such incidents as yesterday .The tide will only turn when the muslims start to get their house cleaned up not western governments

We simply cant stop living and worry about what might happen although I have reduced my Flights to the US to nil. I will be stuck on 24 States for the foreseeable future. Hope the rest of the Trip goes well and without further unnerving incidentsHave you planned in a trip to Keepmoat or a crafty watch of the TV coverage Sunday instead (he asked nosily) ?Hi DW,Yes, we had made plans to come ooop north for the match. 4 yank women! Sadly the day AFTER I bought the train tix, they decided to move the match to Sunday * - on the day we are leaving so we can't even watch on tv. Tears, but as always a huge thanks to Rob as we were planning to meet up with him for the match. I do usually try to coordinate my trips with matches and it's always great fun to come up north on the train and meeting up with Rob and many of you all, so this was very disappointing.But please feel free to come to the US though. ** Trump is mentally ill we believe, so hopefully justice and sanity will prevail. Well fingers crossed anyway.Thanks so much for your kind words and we will be sure to enjoy the rest of our our trip despite the sad events.P.S. *** If anyone would like 4 free tix from London Kings X to Donny and back on Sat, please IM me.

I trust you apply that logic to all acts of terrorism, and that because there aren't worldwide demonstrations against the acts of the Real IRA that that means all Christians are either complicit or condone their actions?

Spent a large chunk of last year working and living in London. Didn't feel safe at all down there.

Out of interest, where were you working and living at that time? I've lived in various places in SW London for 8 of the last 9 years, and worked at (amongst others) Blackfriars, Canary Wharf, Soho, Oxford St, Battersea and Hammersmith. At no point have I felt any less safe than I would in Doncaster, Leeds or anywhere else. Admittedly, I wouldn't go looking for trouble after dark in some of the rougher areas in eg Peckham or Tottenham, but likewise I wouldn't do that in the dodgier areas in Doncaster. I think it's harsh to judge the whole of London as "unsafe", even after yesterday's events.
This just popped up on my Facebook stream. I think it makes the point well enough:

Other than Trump I've not seen anyone suggest that
