I agree. We also need an open discussion about UK government support, militarily, politically and diplomatically for the medieval and most reactionary state in the world today, Saudi Arabia, where the doctrine that guides so called Islamic extremism is created and nurtured. We need to educate ourselves in the history of the Soviet-Afghan war where the CIA trained the mujahadeen, hence Al-Qaeda and hence ISIS/Daesh. But now is not the time.

What we don't need is irrational knee jerk reactions, adding fuel to an already dangerous situation. 'Condemnation' and the insistence of condemnation, only intensifies conflict and division, where what is needed is calm reflection and thought for the people involved in this horrific event.

But I thought Muslims in the UK would be more than happy to universally condemn ISIS and Islamic extremism.

Shouldn't cause any division really should it? The murder of children being a bad thing ought to be fairly uncontroversial.

Which they do on a continuous basis, and you would know if you had the remotest curiousity about the matter.

Who decided to schedule the debate between my local candidates at the same time as the Europa league final?

Have we learned nothing from the George Bush mantra "you're with us, or you're with the terrorists" and the hate, divisiveness and fear caused by such language?

As I posted in another place. Muslims have no special obligation to speak out but like so many others they have:

I didn't need to check to know that the London Mayor Sadiq Khan would have spoken out as well but I did just for you:

So it begins:

Well I guess they stopped short of actually calling him a traitor..... but not by much.

It is actually much more measured than previous right-wing newspaper articles.

It is difficult to know exactly what Corbyn's role in the peace process is: there is so little evidence about what he actually did during that time. My guess would be the hard left in general played a role in bringing the IRA to the negotiating table. Maybe some of the pro-independence language they used was unwise, maybe that was what got the IRA to listen.

It's been all over the press the past few days. This isn't new.

Obviously the moratorium on campaigning has missed some party workers, just had a Theresa May leaflet dropped through my letterbox.

Watching the U.K. and the rest of Europe slits its own throat is a wonder to behold.

In the mosques they continue to be emboldened........

Nonsense

Katie Hopkins can't even spell Manchester

The same thing they said about Rotherham for.....how many years was it?

Please tell me that the phrase 'final solution' was accidental in that tweet

If you're in a masochistic kind of mood, read her Twitter history and make up your own mind.

Not at long as Maggie thatcher's mate Jimmy Saville, for whom the entire Christian world should apologise for and acknowledge the deficiencies in their community that lead to paedos.

From the BBC:

BBC security correspondent says these warnings were made 5 years ago, and again recently:

So one gay Christian pedo equals over 25 men and women colluding as sexual predators, destroying the lives of hundreds of victims and when reported the police willfully ignoring for years?

Should the entire Muslim world apologize for them shouting "allahu akbar" as they went to prison?

1,000 pts for false equivalence!

Catholic priests say hi dere.

There were around 35,000 cases of reporting rape in the UK in 2015/16. Are you saying you have some data of how these break down by religion or something? Or/and any kind of sensible analysis of likely unreported rapes etc.

I feel like you deserve some kind of award for selection bias. And maybe homophobia also.

(I'm a Catholic btw. Christianity has a serious problem with paedophiles.)

have to be honest I missed the homophobic reference.

Exposed.

Both very encouraging and concerning at the same time !
