"The first wave of a terrorist attack is the use of violence to instil fear into ordinary people as a threat to their leaders.

The second wave involves no personal intervention from the terrorist at all, but occurs when the fearful turn into the hateful and continue to propagate panic. It's not an exaggeration to say that hate-mongering is playing into the hands of terrorists. Terrorists don't risk their own lives 'just' to kill a few innocents; they know that they will become the Patient 0 who will spread terror like a virus.

They're trying to force all-out war. That is their end game, not isolated attacks here and there.

We can't always stop the first wave, but we can help to prevent the second."

Now then Gnome who was it that actually came out with that. Who was it that "puts it far better than" you can?

Who exactly are the "fearful" your source refers to? Do the British people seem fearful and hate filled to you or anyone else? They certainly do not seem fearful to me. In the case of the London incident unarmed civilians turned on the three Jihadists and attacked them start to finish their attack lasted eight minutes and ended with the three attackers lying dead in the street they elected to bring carnage to.

Who is it that is hate-mongering Gnome? The response so far has been remarkably measured and it has stayed within OUR legal system and law enforcement agencies. They will continue to investigate both incidents and prosecute any charges that may be brought. While that is in progress government policy may well be altered by all those terribly well informed and knowledgeable MPs.

"Free Speech" Jom - of the sort that allows you to spout your Anglophobic, racist, biased and bigoted views.

"Free Speech" Jom - of the sort that allows anybody to rightfully and freely express their views and criticise whoever they wish to without fear of reprisal and threat for doing so.

Jom please tell me what has the "HAVES & HAVE NOTS" got to do with equality of opportunity and freedom of choice or equality under the law?
