Obviously not a true muslim who carries out such a cowardly act! I applaud the person shouting out at them that they are not a true Muslim

Of course they could tell by just looking at them...

Yeah and I'm sure we'll hear more muslim apologists in the next few dozen muslim terror attacks and slaughters.

was he a muslim? it didn't say on the news... said he just shouted "this is for syria" and some guy that doesn't know him shouting to him "you ain't no muslim bruv"... no info on him having connection with isis to label him a terrorist or anything.

maybe he's just some crazy guy who doesn't want us to be in a war in syria so stabbed people to get himself heard?

then everybody jumps in with he's not a true muslim etc when he never said he was.

 

[dowie]

I don't believe it has been confirmed whether he is or not. He probably is...

 

[RDM]

Well for the public to actually feel "terrorised" the media needs to publicise terrorism as much as possible. 98% of all people are really stupid. The feeling of terror is created by nothing other than the media for goodness sake lol

Let me guess, you are part of the 2% that aren't stupid?

 

[Nix]

Everyone's assuming he's a terrorist. He could have just been a disgruntled Italian football fan.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

I'm guessing every incident for the rest of time, will be labelled as "terrorist" from now on?

 

[Mynight]

What else is it?

Shame the armed police didn't turn up first.

That ding-bat needed taking alive, it was a situation where he could be subdued and there was no need for lethal force. Maybe he has something inside his obvious messed up cranium that is better accessed through interrogation than 9mm, because spoken words are so much more useful than pools of dead brain matter.

 

[Tefal]

Shame the armed police didn't turn up first.

they'd have tasered him too.

hopefully if he has been radicalised this can help locate the method/person

 

[dowie]

the method could quite easily be watching youtube videos these days

Is there anywhere left that you're safe now?

 

[Mynight]

Is there anywhere left that you're safe now?

Nope nowhere is safe but the unsafe part isn't terrorism.

 

[craig_t]

Nope nowhere is safe but the unsafe part isn't terrorism.

Well, true.. But from terrorism, where are you safe now? Can you fly? Walk the streets? Beyond your own home, are you safe? Are you even safe there?

 

[Mynight]

Well, true.. But from terrorism, where are you safe now? Can you fly? Walk the streets? Beyond your own home, are you safe? Are you even safe there?

Yes, you are.

Until we see a huge uptake in terrorism the stats suggest you'll never come across it personally in your lifetime.

I wouldn't worry about it personally as your much more likely to sporadically collapse and die than be killed by a nutter at the moment.

 

[Danthus]

Lets be honest, there is pretty much nothing any of us can do to mitigate the risk of terrorism other than never go out.

So I will just crack on as normal.

 

[Caged]

You're at least as safe from terrorism as you are from being hit by a car waking to the shops
