UK Jihadis

[lord of light]

as individuals i'd say they were unorganised and relatively untrained - however you just wait til the buggers are given amnesties and they come back here

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Only a matter of time as their numbers grow exponentially and gain access to necessary materials. Only takes one to set up a cell on their return and you've got another 7/7.

In fairness, you could say the same about the WI

If we have so many radicalised young men, why are UK attacks so few and far between? If they truly want to create terror and kill the infidel over here, why aren't they blowing themselves up every day off their own bat? Why wait for a co-ordinated 7/7 style attack or go abroad?
Is it cos MI5 has tabs on them all? Surely not.
And another thing - what are all the US extremists doing in all this? If high school kids can shoot up their school, why aren't there jihadi doing it all the time?

Must admit, ive often wondered this. Even in the UK im sure you could easily enough get access to a submachine gun without mi5 and the likes immediately getting onto you. If you have one of them you could take countless lives in any busy part of london (train stations, trafalgar square, pretty much anywhere). Even if you cant get a gun im sure you could easily enough fashion a home made explosive that would do plenty damage. But for some reason, since 7/7, no lunatic has done it. Not sure what the answer is but it does seem odd. Equally in the states, nowt since 9/11 and they could definitely get machine guns nice and easily there!

That wouldn't work. The real boom in them was in the 70s and 80s.

another one...Nice one Basil Brush!

Boston Marathon bombings? Not on a 9/11 scale of course...

I'm more concerned about the potential to knit biological agents into fabric

Come to think of it, I've seen them cross-stitching maps of the London Underground.............

It's almost as if the problem has been blown out of all proportion, isn't it?

Nobody would do that though, surely?

Why, and make everyone live in a state of fear that makes them more likely to accept greater curbs on their civil liberties, and blame a ready made scapegoat rather than the government for all their problems? Why would anyone want that?

Fair enough aye, i'll give you that one. Still, for a massive problem youd think a lot more of it would be going on

@ProfessionalMackem ?

Delia Smith as the head of an international terrorist network would be even bigger than Darth Vader turning out to be Luke Skywalker's dad.

Where are you western scum, Where are ya! Let's be havin' ya!

Agreed. Actually, there was the Fort Hood shooting but as the perpetrator appears to have become radicalised from within the US army, I'm not sure it's a good example.

oh.

Aye just seems like theres a lack of normal mentalists. Its america, you can easily get a submachine gun and the place is packed full of people. If there arethat many people who are "the enemy within" its amazing none have ever just gone to times square and started shooting (dont get me wrong, im bloody glad they havent!). Having said that im not sure if the states has as much of a muslim population (by percentage) as we do so maybe its less of an issue there in terms of their own citizens becoming radicalised

Also, the day Americans need Muslim influence to spark them off into picking up a firearm and going on a mass shooting rampage will be a strange day indeed.
