Coleridge, I did not mention and would not advocate white immigration only! That's your inate racism on show. I acknowledged the contribution of immigrants and love the Irish.
It is only luck that the death total from Islamic Jihadist terrorists is not massively higher. You are wrong to belittle it. If the shoe bomber, transatlantic bomber, second wave tube bombers, Glasgow bombers and Exeter bombers had had their way then the death toll would have been significantly higher.
All I am saying is that the current threat comes from within a particular religious group. A minority of them for sure I know. But if we keep adding to that total in an uncontrolled manner then that hidden minority grows with it and the problems, and perhaps the number of murders, grows exponentially.
Figures compiled by Europol, the European police agency, suggest that the threat of Islamist terrorism is minimal compared with “ethno-nationalist†and “separatist†terrorism – terrorism committed by white people, in other words.
According to Europol, in 2006, one out of 498 documented terrorist attacks across Europe could be classed as “Islamistâ€; in 2007, the figure rose to just four out of 583 – that’s less than 1 per cent of the total.
