    No, there's only one: nutters*. There might be different types of nutters, who claim allegiance to different ideologies, and declare those ideologies to be the reason for their actions. But that doesn't change the fact that they're all nutters, and the real reason behind their actions that they're nuttier than a squirrel turd. * Not actually the word I'm thinking, but it'll do for now.

                    Interesting how it depends who's doing the manipulating, though. Thomas Mair was radicalised in exactly the same way as most terrorists. But I don't recall anyone labelling him a terrorist; he was just a "lone nutcase". I still think the killing comes down to varying degrees of nutjobbery. The arseholes behind the scenes manipulating nutters into doing their dirty work for them are a different issue.

                            Yup. "Radical muslims" has become a buzzword, now. Such buzzwords are needed, because the budgets to "make war" on ter'r'rism (by spying on decent people and treating them like sh1t) can only be signed off on if "the people" are up in arms about it. It's all bollocks, Mate. You're being led by the nose to the slaughterhouse by your own government and "security forces". Rather than worry about the very, very few @rseholes with no resources who call themselves ter'r'rists, you should worry about the far greater number of @rseholes who are using this "war on ter'r'rism" to spend all your hard-earned tax money on denying you your legal and human rights.

                              The recent pictures of the attacker don't look asian to me. In fact, the suspect is named Abu Izzadeen from Clapton in Hackney. Not asian origin.

                              Well - from here he's obviously from the East.   Pretty Far East, at that . . . from here.

                                Maybe, and I realised at the time of posting I might end up with egg on my face. But I think we both know I'm more than likely right. There's two types of "humans" that kill innocent people randomly in this manner. Radicals and nutters. And a nutter probably wouldn't choose the heart of democracy. The location has enough symbolism to tell you what motivated this.

                                What you write here is wrong on so many level - especially tied into your sourcing yourself (earlier) as depending upon social media. You pick the news, source notwithstanding, and then echo it out into the world. Now, you've broadcast what you would like the news to be - - finally, you say that you know you might be wrong about the whole thing - but we 'know' you're more likely right . . . so the fake news which you picked because you like it and know might be wrong is still justified by your own judgement about the self importance of how you feel things should be. Basically, it implies that even if it's wrong we should all know that it should be right. Messed up. Really. And worse: You're not alone

                                      That is right. Part of the human nature. But all major religions are violent, including Christianity. Good example of this are the crusades and the inquisitions.

                                        That is right. Part of the human nature. But all major religions are violent, including Christianity. Good example of this are the crusades and the inquisitions.

                                        I wouldn't go that far. What I'd say is that all religions are followed by people -- and the rest is obvious, if you dedicate three minutes to thinking about it.

                                        And I'm always happy to listen to honest opinions.

                                          In your case, all of 'em, if it were up to me.

                                          I'm flattered that I am special to you even though we have never met and you know nothing about me. You must be a stalker. Why didn't you answer the question? It was a very simple and straightforward question. Surely if you are going to claim over and over that rights are being taken away that you could at least answer that one simple question. You might even be right. I couldn't think of any so I was asking. Simple. Or should have been.

                                          There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
