That does not explain why we are targeted rather than the Burmese. It is my belief that we are targeted due to politics rather than any religious ideology.
Everyone who doesn’t practice their flavour of extreme Wahhabism is an infidel who needs putting to death, including other Muslims. The West receives less terror attacks than Muslim majority populations in the East. With that said this is looking less like a coordinated attack by an Islamist group and more like just one mental **** who wasn’t all there in the head.I agree with you that we are not targeted due to religious ideology. The more so in that the vast majority of inhabitants of the U.K. are not practicing Christians. Which even the terrorist nutcases know.
So — which politics exactly?
Is anyone prepared to blow themselves up as well as any random and innocent bystander, regardless of race, religion, skin colour, ethnicity or gender, all there in the head?Everyone who doesn’t practice their flavour of extreme Wahhabism is an infidel who needs putting to death, including other Muslims.

All there in the head is a poor choice of words from me. There is a difference with being actually mentally ill with a condition and being someone who isn’t mentally ill but has been indoctrinated so far that they commit such an evil act. I think this guy was the former. No excuse though, diagnosable mentally ill or not, you’re an evil **** who deserves hell.Is anyone prepared to blow themselves up as well as any random and innocent bystander, regardless of race, religion, skin colour, ethnicity or gender, all there in the head?
Their politics is about power. Persia was affluent, modern, fancy cars/clothes and the Shah was a friend of Britain and the U.S. Then Ayatollah Khomeini started preaching his anti west rhetoric, suddenly he is the big cheese and Iran was born.I agree with you that we are not targeted due to religious ideology.

Hanging would save all that bother, you know...investigation, trial that sort of stuff. If a few innocents got killed, well tough.four men arrested are released from custody
... these are the four men that a few idiots said should just be hanged.
So invading a country is worse than what the Bhuddist military junta is doing to the Rhohingas ! They have effectively stated the Rohinga do not exist which is why over a million people have had to flee to Bangladesh The Burmese are murdering them without any retribution. What we have done pales into insignificance to the current whole scale slaughter of a group of people.
Iran was doing well when Mosaddegh was in charge nationalising oil which USA and UK wanted to keep so they intervened and put the Shah dictatorship in charge so they could still have direct access to the oil, and it was a brutal regime. Khomeini was a response to US meddling, and they reaped exactly what they sewed.Their politics is about power.

He became one of the most feared and powerful leaders in the Middle East. Other zealots saw and copied.
It's quite funny but back then Saddam was our bessie mate. The mighty Iraq fighting for freedom and justice against the terrorist Iraq.
