Thread Name: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
Subject: RE: BS: Islamic radicalism . . .
"So MI5 is wrong, and we should listen to you instead Jim."
Some context:
Since 2001 there have been 4 Islamic terrorist attacks in Britain by Muslims and 4 terrorist aimed at Muslims
The vast majority of terrorist attacks have been attributed to the IRA
Those who went to fight Assad in Syria are now being counted as a terrorist threat, pretty much the same as those who went to fight in Spain were in the 1930s.
Those who fought in Syrian make up the majority of those suspected of being in favour of extremism
There are no figures to show how many of those suspected by MI5 are Muslins and how many support other causes, such as The Real IRA or racism.
Since 2001, there have been 470,678 racists identified attacks in Britain - an average of 130 per day; the vast majority of these have been on Muslims - there is no record of how many others have been reported as racist but not accepted as being such.
between 2007 and 2011 there been 87,000 reported racist incidents in British schools, an average of 130 per day.
One third of Britons questioned in surveys admitted that they hold and have openly expressed racist views - not a country that welcomes foreigners, you might say
