evolve a bit more? If "evolving" consists of standing by while a fucked up part of a generally very good religion, insists on blowing innocent British people up and we stand by and do nothing about it, then i would rather not "evolve".
Also, you may want to check the meaning of the word evolve in the dictionary. It mean adapting and to get better over time. How is this situation doing any of that? It's going backwards if anything.
Rick, I don't mean to be patronising, but I can tell that your comments are fueled by anger, rather than the idiocy of others in this thread.
You are right that most Muslims don't commit acts like this. Muslims for peace in the us, for example, contributed 11,000 pints of blood to victims of an attack.
The thing is, our security services are trying to do just that. They are trying to find those who would commit acts like this, and are trying to prevent these terrible scenes.
After the Boston bombings, a security analyst commented that it is easier to track those with associations to established terror groups, but almost impossible to track individual lunatics. This makes sense, because their communication is much less, their collective conversations are reduced to say two individuals, and there is no opportunity to utilise resources or infiltrate "cells".
The problem with taking the stance of "kick em out" is that it creates hostility. Suddenly every Muslim could be looked on with suspicion, brought in for questioning etc. This hostility breeds contempt and rather than solve an issue could in fact create more hatred.
This is why the key always has to lie with positive action. Not because I'm a leftie or I am human rights crazy, but because I love being British, I love living in England and I want this to be a place where everyone can live alongside one another.
Not create numerous siege mentalities, whip up more hatred, and fail to tackle the problem at a grass root level.
