Terrorism

[BobbyBobBob]

What exactly is in place to stop these new terrorists that are being brainwashed on the internet and are already in our country ready to randomly go out and cause damage?

It's one thing being able to contain mass plots coming in from the outside but when they are already over here is another story. How can you stop/foil a plot with say 2 or 3 people going into a crowded area and start shooting?

Can it be stopped??? My guess is that it can't

[ummmm]

They've stopped quite a few.

I don't believe there is anything in place to stop idiots these days.

[naomi24]

They're being brainwashed by people who embrace fundamentalist Islam - and there are plenty preaching it freely outside the internet.

Just hope we have it covered

The old ones couldn't be stopped. I was at a scrapyard behind Piccadilly station in Manchester in 1996 buying a headlight when a truck parked outside the Arndale by the IRA blew up. What a bang. The new wave of terrorists seem to be more ruthless though, the IRA seemed happy with disruption of normality by giving warnings, the current wave of nutters aren't happy unless a serious amount of claret is spilled.

It's the price we pay for a fixation in religion no matter what you're favourite flavour is.

Religion has caused more conflict and terror than ANYTHING else in history

BobbyBobBob, this is what the UK government openly declares what it is doing

"The invocation of primitive and barbaric religious ideologies is not the correct response to a multiple murder done in the name of a primitive and barbaric ideology."

birdie, have you a suggestion for a correct response ?

There isn't anything in place as such. Then again anyone could just jump on the band wagon so to speak couldn't they?

I feel like joining the 'Je suis Charlie' campaign, but am concerned that I don't have a right to. It didn't happen directly to me. I want to be supportive but not to feel a fraud.
