And now Trump again with ridiculous comments :( Another attack in London by a loser terrorist.https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/908642277987356673 Donald Trump's tweet claiming that the perpetrator behind an explosion on a Tube train was known to British security services is "speculation", police say. "We don't even know who the suspects are so it's a bit difficult to say," a Metropolitan Police source told The Independent. "It's just speculation." He appeared to be suggesting that the perpetrator or perpetrators were previously known to British security services, as was the case with the attackers in Westminster, Manchester and London Bridge. Mr Trump went on to call for the internet to be “cut off†as a recruitment call for terrorists. And the London MET is very proactive! There has been 11 terror incidents only this year in Britain. 6 of them was avoided by the police but 5 didn't. |

I must agree with Trump in this matter.So you agree that the provision of false information/speculation is acceptable? |

What most leaders of the Western world and the progressive left fail to realize is that the "Religion of Peace" has been at war with other religions since its inception. Christianity was like this until its Reformation in the late middle ages. The leaders of the "Religion of Peace" refuse a reformation and that the so-called moderates in the religion are unable and/or unwilling to reform it. President Trump and the President of the Philippines recognize this war; The question is will the other Western leaders and progressives realize this in time to do anything about it? ... and still I fear, and still I dare not laugh at the Mad Man!

Every terrorist attacks are almost done with a very few individuals . The police knows a lot better than an army to find those terrorists. And here in Europe we don't the want military walking in the streets or searching someones house to find "evidences"! |

Darrell, Islam is not monolithic. It is split into numerous groups with differing and often opposing goals. Most of the issues we are having these days are with one sect (Wahhabist Salfism) of one branch (Sunni); the officially designated terrorist groups ISIL/Daesh, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, the Taliban (not Wahhabist but Salafist) and many others are members of this sect. Ironically, this branch of Islam has leaders that we can identify: the Saudi royal family (you know... America's best buds, and unfortunately Canada's as well) and the Saudi clerics under their control. The official religion of Saudi Arabia is Wahhabist Sunni Islam, after all. These groups treat other Muslims with equal or greater disdain even than the west. Surely you haven't missed all the terrorist incidents/massacres directed at Shia mosques (often with much greater loss of life than those directed at secular western targets.) They have also been directed at the most placid and often overlooked branch of Islam: Sufism. |

Actually, as the day has worn on, I'd say that either terrorism or psychological warfare would be apt descriptions. Much panic and disruption has been caused, but very little actual damage to either people or property. It may may be a lucky misfire, of course: the device - following full examination - may turn out to have been capable of causing greater loss, but we won't know for certain until much later.Parsons Green: London Tube blast treated as terror incidentAct of War would be the correct description. |

I send wishes of recovery to the victims and their families. A sentiment that I notice is missing from every other post. |

My fear is, that unless we can stop their attacks 100% of the time. There will be one, whose results will be so terrifying. The normal human reaction will be more terrible than anything we would do now.Yes, and it will most likely come from North Korea. Or perhaps the United States. |

The United States is not Kim or ISIS.It is 50 states, many with grievances against the federal govenment. It is that government that makes it united. |

Much panic and disruption has been caused, but very little actual damage to either people or property. It is surprising for many that the terrorist threat in Western Europe peaked in the 1970s and 80s. That context is often forgotten. But even though terrorist attacks in western countries are serious and raise great concern, there are the vast majority of deaths in other parts of the world. According to the figures SVT News has chosen, 25,673 people were killed around the world in confirmed terrorist attacks last year, of which less than one percent in western countries. Only in the Middle East and North Africa were 14,075 people killed in such attacks last year. https://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/ |

The two terror attacks here in Stockholm was done by two different persons. One was a Iraqi immigrant and the other one a citizen from Uzbekistan. Usually the attacks are confirmed by the Amaq news channel. Like this for instance. But calling it well funded Groups supported by millions.... |

The means of their 'victory' are individuals, in addition to small and large groups around the world. Their supporters number in the millions. Daesh and likes doesn't have supporters number in the millions in Europe. Nor North America, South America or Australia. |

Of course there is difference of opinion between me and Clyde. Jan, Clyde paints with too wide of a brush or known as a hasty generalization. I find that to be intellectually very weak. An analogy would be because there are some "Christians" who are Nazis all Christians are Nazis. |

Ever seen 'flash burns'?No, I'm not a medical man. But I know that they can come from a sudden, brief, encounter with flame. How do they compare with the initial radiation burst from a thermonuclear weapon, or with prolonged contact with a flammable substance such as napalm? It is an 800 year War, waged now by One International Culture against All Others.800 years, eh? That takes us back to the thirteenth century, round about the time of the fifth crusade. When a 1,200 year old religion was waging an aggressive war against a 600 year old religion. Sometimes I despair of the human race, when it dredges up such old memories without learning from them. |
