Refugees have got nothing to do with this. That's the kinda illogical, non-factual, bigoted crap the Daily Fail and it's loyal, stupid readers spout. Immigrants are to blame for everything according to them. If you look at statistics and facts, obviously most of the crimes are committed by indigenous people.
Britain has been on 'Severe' terror alert for the past 2 years and the security services probably based it on what's been happening around Europe. Brexit has got nothing to do with it, in fact Brexit has increased the 'in your face' racial, bigoted attacks on people on the street, (people felt more confident to voice it) it has increased the 'far-right' crimes. (An amazing MP Jo Cox got stabbed last year by a far-right racist ideologist.)
The best explanation for ISIS has been coined by David Wearing, someone with a PHD in foreign policy in the Middle East.
@davidwearing
ISIS grew out of Al Qaeda in Iraq, which grew out of the chaos caused by the 2003 invasion. 'War On Terror' approach doesn't make us safe.
Their reasoning does not come from Islam, the largest group they have killed are Muslims for crying out loud. They are not following the Quran or the sunnah. But after every incident it's Muslims who suffer from retaliatory attacks - at last recall 2 mosques in Manchester have been firebombed.
Anywys I love that alot of sensible Brits believe in the message that showing unity and not letting their monstrous attacks divide us, is the way to be.. They see the Muslim cabbie who took them safely home, they appreciate the Syrian refugee Muslim doctor that helped their injuries or saved their life. The ones who don't see this are the ignorant ones who have fallen prey to the distorted facts and hate that 2 or 3 popular newspapers spew out again and again.
It's a turbulent future ahead for all of us, in whatever part of the world we are, I just pray it gets better.
As for what happened in Manchester, I've mentioned this already in another thread but murdering young children, it's just, so. monstrous. My heart goes out to all those affected.
