Just read this about Martyn Hett. Like CTID1988 said, it's heartbreaking when you start to find out more about the victims.
That hashtag #prayformanchester is pissing me off. praying is whats causing this shite.
If people kept their spiritual ideas to themselves the world would be a far better place.
Religion needs universal outlawing, it's fucking archaic.
I agree.But surely it can be more targeted. The BBC are reporting that this guy has just returned from a period in Lybia, his own Iman has said he is 'not surprised' that he is responsible for the atrocity. His neighbours have been concerned about his behaviour. The security services can't do it all. Society, including moslems need to help identify those that are being radicalised and then we need to be strong enough to do something about it. I agree that this needs to be done in parallel with education and integration but thats long term and we do need to do something now.I guess it's a scale thing. Resources are tight, police numbers have been slashed, prisons are over crowded. Today - with hindsight can the security forces round up every known suspect with links to ISIS - I suspect not - it would take months. Politicians spout but there has to be a change in approach - just targeting the Muslim community won't help - (internment in NI caused more issues and swelled the ranks of the IRA) we need to take the 98 per cent of good muslims with us and together root out the evil element but it's going to need a more comprehensive, well financed and joined up approach. People like Donald Trump - with his heavy handed rhetoric just makes the matter worse. This is not a war, the military can't win this, a stronger more inclusive society is the answer.
3000 - please quote the source. Where to? Some could be UK Born. Define "interest". How many of the 3000 have just been seen talking to the wrong person? That would create an "interest" as would a number of other minor acts. You get shut of this person what do his mates do. They object, they protest and 'you' have just started several more on the road to radicalism.

He didnt make the bomb
Enda Brady, Sky NewsXiphos, these people who are a potential risk how do you know about them? Was it from a reliable news source? Not saying you are wrong but if such a statement is made you need to back it up with the source. Since you made that post there have been a number of others picking it up and adding their take on it. They heard it on Bluemoon, was your source a more reliable one? It's important to know.
