No I don't, but I will expose twisted and pusillanimous logic.

Nice long word there Bob but if you really want to show you have comprehension skills then try reading the first one and a half lines of my post, this time very slowly.

For those like me who had to look up the Captain's long word, he does have a tendency to show off with obscure words.
Oxford Dictionary definition, pusillanimous means "showing a lack of courage or determination; timid".

I think the woman to his right was the smart one she went with a bottle easier to manage during a terrorist incident.

Did do. When I was doing after entry enforcement in the eighties my patch was ForestHill/East Ham. Know the area well.
Nevertheless 'deprivation and basic racism which made it a great breeding ground for potential terrorists'? Ha bloody ha.
Do you actually read any international (i.e. non European news)? You'll be telling me it a lack of youth clubs and play facilities next.

Still the penny doesn't drop so I will explain it to you.

Maybe you think only white people can be racist? Have you heard of a Ms Abbott?

And? The facts are that the worldwide threat which we will be facing for the next few decades has nothing to do with either deprivation or racism, either received or given.

As a white bloke from Dover I can do nothing to stop these attacks.
Pretty much the only people who can are the muslims in this country. Every muslim must look at their father, brother, uncle, nephew, neighbour, friend, workmate, mosque-goer, etc.
If they suspect them of being a possible attacker then they must report them to the authorities. And then we must hope that they stop them in time.

But you Government could? Douglas Murray suggests:-
1) Permanent closure of any mosque caught hosting anti-British views.
2) Imprisonment of everyone known to have connections with extreme organisations.
3) Deportation of all dual nationals caught associating with designated groups.

Legislate that you can not have a "Secret" group on Facebook which is an option available now and the same with other internet sites.

Personally I can't disagree with anything in the Douglas Murray link that the Capt. has provided.
Although I would go one stage further regarding deportations and that would be in order to act as a possible deterrent, I would also deport ALL known family members of anyone convicted or involved in terrorist activities. I don't care either whether they're nurses, doctors or nuclear scientists, round 'em up and ship 'em out! Perhaps the thought of bringing shame and distress on their family might just concentrate the would be terrorist's mind?
This may well seem to be too extreme a measure and over the top for some, but as Karlos has correctly stated, the muslims have to start seriously looking at themselves and their own communities and if they refuse to do that then they must pay the price. They just have to start policing themselves otherwise the problem will simply get worse.
Unfortunately tough times sometimes need tough measures, the softly softly approach has clearly not worked so what alternatives are we left with, or do we just carry on shrugging our shoulders and hope to God that we're not the next victims?

This interview shows one of the reasons why these religious murderers were not stopped earlier. Why bother to report your suspicions when nothing appears to be done about it.

The saddest thing is that there are still some self loathing apologists who still think it is all somehow due to our foreign policy and 'nothing to do with Islam'.
Politicians are now blaming 'our links with Saudi Arabia' (who are fighting a war in Yemen to support the internationally-recognised legitimate Government against the Houthi rebel movement) doing Russia and Iran's propoganda work for them.
It is no more 'nothing to do with Islam' than lung cancer is 'nothing to do with cigarettes'.
Some will never touch a cigarette yet get lung cancer (the equivalent of Breivik with his attack in Norway)
Others will smoke all their life and never get lung cancer (Peaceful Muslims)
However the very fact that people smoke will increase their chance of getting lung cancer and banning or cutting down on cigarettes (i.e. Islam) would make the world a much safer place for all of us.

Practically all reports of extremism to the Police must come from other Muslims as the Jihadists are hardly likely to let on about their views to the rest of us. The question then comes back as to the manpower in the Police and security services needed to check on every lead.

Here's Littlejohn's take on it all from the Mail this morning. He's right. We ARE at war.
'As I wrote after the attack on Westminster in March: 'Every time there is a terrorist atrocity, either here or abroad, the politicians go through the same old motions, mouthing platitudes about never surrendering to evil. But by their actions they betray their hollow rhetoric and the rest of us have to live with the consequences'.
