Have always respected the resilience of Londoners through turmoil. That's not in question, but what is is that it appears to be the current hotbed for terrorist acts in the Western world. You cannot dispute that. Sad times. The Grenfell Tower tragedy was also extremely unfortunate no doubt.

Another religiously motivated attempted attack on a police officer at Paddington station, London. Is this the worst London has had it since the blitz?

I'm afraid this is the new norm in your country. This is exactly what ISIS and the scum who uphold in Sharia practices have been praying for. It is a divider and has reached new levels now. The talk in Muslim society will be about Islamophobia. That article is repulsive btw.

Another terrorist attack in Nth London, but this time targeting Muslims it seems...

Whatever. Little consolation. The next 2 World Cups will be the worst in modern history. Russia with their professional MMA and bodybuilding hooligans, and Qatar because it is in Arabia.

There won't. No surprise. Sport is the thing that is supposed to bring cultures together in these times but the Saudis aren't PC. Qatar will be hosting a WC soon. All of this is and will be swept under the carpet.

Nah.

I travel to a Muslim area in Australia often, in Auburn. They are moderates, those who I deal with. They hate what is going on. The problem is everything is unregulated. You regulate Islamic schools, and mosques and you are heading toward a positive direction.

An alternative please. Seriously, is there one?

It is because Islamic fundamentalism shows now mercy.

You do know what you are dealing with right? Your country is weak and allowed for this. It has built up over many years now and the problem has become "homegrown" so-to-speak. Generations will be affected. I don't think Higgins wants all Muslims dead. Just those who wish to cause harm.

Bit of a disadvantage that isn't it? Maybe if he had a gun...

Do what exactly? What do you do when people with radical views decide that they want to make a statement by driving into crowds or walk the streets and slit the throats of people? Or set off bombs strapped to them? Political views aside, radicalism has infiltrated into Western democracy and the seeds sewn and it is here to stay. There is nothing you or I can do anything about it. Most attacks in the name of radical Islam will thankfully be prevented, but some won't. That is just the day and age that we live in.

"Run, hide, barricade yourselves in and turn your phones to silent." Fucking hell.

Pinot Noir from Central Otago (New Zealand) at the moment tbh. Bit over Shiraz.

BROOME! No I mean BOOM!

You should never cooperate and compromise with those who think they are superior to you based on religious grounds and to those who put religious beliefs over the law of the land. To believe that that is an option on the table is absurd.

Fremantle??? Couldn't get a more whiter community/city, disregarding Hobart and the greater part of Tasmania. Western Australia is primarily white apart from Broome where Japanese, Indonesians and Aboriginals have intermingled over generations. Queensland is largely white too on the eastern side. Sydney and Melbourne are the hub of multiculturalism in Australia.

Wahhabism and its spinoffs are the primary problem of course. But Trump signed off on a $100 Billion arms deal to counter Iran and Yemen. $100 Billion of arms. That is equivalent to the defence spending of the UK or Japan over 2 years. If it weren't true you would laugh and think it were crazy. Well, no, I'll laugh cynically anyway as you do. Internally though, locally born jihadists are born and brainwashed.

We as a 'civilised' society do need to find ways to counter these problems which will snowball in generations to come. That is a reality. Being proactive on the problem which is taboo to many will be a hurdle along with solutions. I don't have the answer, and I haven't seen, apart from bans and internment caps, any worthy directions to head towards. Damage is done, and the seeds sewn.

You obviously got a bit lost there. My point was Muslims kill more Muslims than any other denomination.

Muslims kill each other more than anyone else man. Tribes and all that.

Australia already does this, and so too now, as you have mentioned, the Netherlands.

We are talking about the sickest of people trying to incite the most illicit of hatred along with the terror. Truly sad times.

How do you know that this concert was not purposefully selected for the demography that was in attendance?
