Urgh. Dreadful this. Gets worse and worse. ‘Kin senseless waste of life.

There just seems to be a pattern with these incidents for their extremism. 7/7, 9/11, Manchester arena, London Bridge and Westminster.

Far more people have died in the UK in the last fifty-odd years due to terrorism linked to Irish Nationalism than Muslim extremism. Are all Irish a concern?

If we want to boil down, I'd suspect far more people have died in the UK in the last fifty-odd years due to gang related violence, shootings, domestic violence...

Am I saying Islamic terrorism isn't a concern? No, because of course it is. However, when compared statistically, there are far greater concerns in this country.

And from all accounts, this has absolutely nothing to do with the above, so why has it even became a discussion point is a worry in itself.

Four hundred years ago it would have

It still would today in certain circles.

Ok, these are all tragedies perpetrated by Muslims. So now what? Now that you've established a thread between 9/11 and the Stockport tragedy, what do you now do with this information going forward? What do we do next?

And if it turns out that he is in fact Catholic, and that even the tenuous link you've made to 9/11 is irrelevant, what then?

Does this one follow that pattern though?

 

[Sean Ashley]

As I said a short while ago. People are still fighting for their lives. And now a girl had been cruelly taken away from her loved ones.

Let's for now drop the rumours and let the full extent of the situation unfold.
