And what's the definition of 'terrorist' now? I don't think I've ever heard a single murder (no matter how abhorrent) being called terror attack before. Is this purely down to the religious element?

violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror); are perpetrated for a religious, political or, ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants

It seems right to call this a terrorist act.

I'm serious. Letting millions of Muslims move to the West was a clear mistake and, if it were possible, I'd be in favour of voluntary repatriation. Putting a stop to further Islamic immigration would, as a first measure, be eminently sensible. I'd never express such a view in real life, of course.:w00t:

On a scale of 1 to outright racist how true is the opinion to you in reality? Haha

When you say "in real life"

You mean something like http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/ma...k-cyclist-over

I heard on the media the one on video had a definite London accent so either born there or lived there a long time, so the question is WHY. I had an incident a few years ago when cycling through Cholton Water Park when passing a couple of asian lads one of them shouted out (for no reason) f*&%k off white ba*&^$ard. After the inital shock I just felt sorry for them. For whatever reason they are totally alienated from "normal" society (and feel bitter towards it?) Kids like that provide the feeding ground for the people who would radicalise them with their completly distorted view of reality. What percentage of the muslims killed in Iraq and Afghanistan have been killed by fellow muslims? Would it be 90% or higher?

I was running in Sheffield.. got shouted at 'Oi you effin homer'.. then 'There ain't no black in the Union jack'... then abuse about being an immigrant...

I'm still at a loss trying to work out why? and what he was on about?

I almost went back just to try and work out what he meant....

question is WHY

In 2012 the UK had 551 reported homicides. All horrible vile acts. They all managed to justify it somehow, even if only to themselves.

Wise words as ever shaunaneto. Broken individuals will tag on to something, anything that makes them feel whole, or at least part of something bigger. Thus the continued existence of Salford Harriers AC. :w00t:
