Are we in danger of 'normalising' terrorism?

She's not brave, she just unlucky.

 

I must be luckier because I survived every terrorism attack by being in a different place from where they occurred.

So, you spend a lot of time -

-on the train

-at Eagles of Death Metal concerts

-Shopping Centres

-On the bus

-On the tube

-In a skyscraper

 

On the train, on the bus, on the tube, in major shopping centers, in major airports. Also a fair bit of time weekly in the canary wharf estate so yes all those things except the death metal people.

 

You??

That's your criteria for being more at risk and claiming I was demonstrating false bravado.

I thought you were going to say you were doing roadside patrols in Basra.

Yeah, I catch the bus and the train, I go to shopping centres and so on. I don't spend much time in CW these days, but I have in the past worked in the CitiBank building.

And at no time in any of these places do I ever worry about terrorism.

Hell, I worked in a building with blast proof windows and designated bomb safe areas, we did a police escorted evacuation drill, and it still wasn't a big concern.

The blaze was caused by a short circuit in a spotlight, investigators said.

 

Not exactly terrorism...

We could start by applying the law to religion and ban the publication and distribution of any material that promotes hate.

 

They will be forced to rewrite their respective books with the old hate filled books being resigned to history unavailable to all, in a couple of generations the only religious text that would be available will be material that promotes peace, tolerance, equality and fairness.

absolutely absurd think you might need to get your self an English copy and read it before making judgement about peoples religion i have a lot of friends in the British army who are Muslim and have told me its all about loving each other and treating everyone with respect.

I've read an English copy and it is full of hate, if there is a copy with all the hate removed then that is the only copy that should be available. Have you read the book they claim is full of love or are you simply taking their word for it?
