      Media tells us he is working alone; seven arrests made and six properties raided. Media won't disclose any information about attacker but raids are in Birmingham where there are huge enclaves of Muslim communities. Apologists already out in force to plead that not all Muslims are terrorists. When the media can no longer withhold information that the attacker is a Muslim already known to the police we'll be told they have a mental illness. Then next month the attacks will be coming to a town near you. What a tedious treadmill we all find ourselves on.....

            Whilst we're at it, let's offer our prayers to all the people in London who got run over by cars, who slipped in the bath and died, who died of some disease or other, who died of old age, who sneezed too hard and killed passersby with their dentures, who took overdoses of drugs and died, who were murdered by people who are criminals, not ter'r'rists, etc, etc, etc. Then let's approve spending another handful of million quid on letting security forces spy on us, purportedly to protect us from the one nutter every few years with a knife, who's labelled as a ter'r'rist.

            Of course you're forgetting the foiled attempts. 12 last year in the UK. Which would bring it closer to a nutter a month. with varying degrees of casualties and probably result in more restrictions than you currently put up with. Airports closed for days, enormous queues at any public attraction. Being searched when you enter any public place etc.

                              So disagreeing with a sentiment is criticism, now, is it? So now I'm not only a hijacker, but also a critic? Y'know, I only ever insult two people, within CP, and they've bloody well earned it. Maybe others should follow my example, and discuss opinions -- whilst allowing others to have differing opinions -- rather than insult people personally. If no-one is allowed to express opinions that are different from the one of the OP, then CP will become pretty damned dull, pretty damned fast.

                                My point still stands: the vast majority of Christians aren't paedophiles, just as the vast majority of Muslims aren't terrorists. Unfortunately, we live in a world where it's necessary to regularly point that out to the crowds of rabid morons who think that the entire group is responsible for the actions of a tiny minority. It won't stop the hard-core wuckfits from blaming every member of the group, but it might help the borderline imbeciles stop and think before they launch an attack on innocent members.

                                  Marvelously absurd! Nothing's happened to you (yet?) so all the efforts spent on stopping that were a waste? Like vaccinations: OK - everyone gets vaccinated. You didn't catch that disease so you whine the vaccination was a waste. And - if it didn't take on one-in-a-million then you consider it all a waste because it didn't meet your view of perfection. Better to just whine that the government's trying to keep tabs on these should-have-been-still-born filth. So - after a paragraph of attempting to ridicule a sad reality you complain the money spent stopping those that didn't occur (and thus, didn't make big news headlines) is all a waste. Sounds to me like you'd like to open the field wide for your buddies-with-the-knives, and hope there is only one nutter every few years. Rectal Orifice.

                                    The point is that the vast majority of Christians aren't paedophiles, don't support paedophiles, would report paedophiles to the police, and when paedophiles are discovered they focus on showing their disgust for the individual rather than trying to diminish the crime and take attention away from the crime by focusing on the fact that not all Christians are paedos. When paedophiles are discovered the media likewise fully reports on the matter and condemnation is public and widespread and that is how societal attitudes are formed. On the other hand when Muslim terror attacks happen the media spends most of its energy apologising and diminishing the crimes, dragging focus onto how not all Muslims are like this etc, despite many recent polls showing that many Muslims (all Muslims) sympathise with terrorist attacks and actually support them. They think these attacks are justified. Show me a poll where 50% of Christians think the victims of paedophilia deserve it..... That's the difference.

                                      My point still stands: the vast majority of Christians aren't paedophiles, just as the vast majority of Muslims aren't terrorists. Unfortunately, we live in a world where it's necessary to regularly point that out to the crowds of rabid morons who think that the entire group is responsible for the actions of a tiny minority. It won't stop the hard-core wuckfits from blaming every member of the group, but it might help the borderline imbeciles stop and think before they launch an attack on innocent members.

                                      I'd quit while you're ahead - you appear to have found one of 'the crowd' who's prepared to believe what the Daily Mail tells him over what is fact and common sense.

                                        So far, I have personally been accused of hijacking threads, and of criticising others. Neither is true, as I have merely stated my opinion, without insulting or criticising anyone, But personal insults (and criticisms) have still been thrown at me. Ask yourself who the bad guy is, here.

                                        I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                          I just said that your comment read like that, I accused you of nothing.
