Threat level has been reduced to severe again. There's still possibility of another attack but not quite as imminent anymore.

You also need to explain why Islamic immigration produces more problems in developed societies than Christian and Jewish immigration does. Malmö and London, cities which you and I both know aren't exactly poverty stricken shit holes, have seen a rapid increase in homophobic opinions and anti-Semitic behaviour. Have the Swedes and the English suddenly become fervent bigots over the space of a couple years? Or is it more likely that insular Muslim communities have grown larger and more ghettoised? Nobody is contesting the fact that destabilisation has produced more harm than good in the Middle East, but that's not what we're trying to discuss here, so I'm not entirely sure why you keep bringing it up. We're talking about the social cohesiveness of Muslim populations and the lack thereof, largely due to the values they espouse that originate from the texts of the religion. 694

It's all very good saying religion is shit and that they're all equally violent faiths (which is incorrect), but the fact of the matter is Islam is the slowest kid in the class when it comes to reconciliation of faith with the values of western society. ISIS and various other Islamic terrorist organisations take the most extremist interpretations of the text that the majority of Muslims do not subscribe to, yes, but that doesn't mean they're not legitimate interpretations. The "what about X religion as well!" is such a cop out argument. Yeah, Christianity and Judaism contain a slew of disgusting passages, but Christian and Jewish terrorism is not the primary concern right now, is it? 695
Serious / Re: Explosion in Manchester at a concert« on: May 26, 2017, 08:59:37 AM »Of course you don't, because you don't know the first thing about Islam and assume the Quran just says "kill whities and rape women" for hundreds of pages and then ends.There are quite a substantial amount of passages about violence and conquering, though. The sparse peaceful verses that do exist are only superseded by the violent ones, and that's only because the peaceful passages are referring to practising Muslims. Yeah, the Q'uran might not be the serial killing cookbook Trumpanzees make it out to be, but it's not inaccurate to say it's a heavily violent book. 698

Thankfully 1v1 and 2v2s are relatively stable and don't apply gear stats. That's really the only thing keeping it afloat at this point. 699

You're okay with these same people who treat your women like disposable garbage because to them they are whores and impure, simply for not following their religious standards? You're okay with these people who hate your country and westernism as a whole? Many Muslims have managed to reconcile their faith with the laws of this country, despite the fact that they advocate a lot of abhorrent tripe. Yes, there is a social cohesiveness problem within Muslim communities, and yes various Muslim communities have posed a problem with integrating in the pluralistic visions of Western societies, that doesn't mean our response should be a knee jerk widespread mass deportation. The majority of them are already citizens now, so if you're going to advocate the removal of people who believe in distasteful ideas then you need to also apply it to /pol/acks, neo-nazis and cults. You tote around this idea like it's completely feasible, but it really isn't. 706
Serious / Re: Explosion in Manchester at a concert« on: May 23, 2017, 09:32:53 PM »I don't disagree with this.The home grown terrorists are usually the sons of displaced people from wars in the 90's. They usually weren't wholly integrated in to their birth nation's society since their parents statistically most likely settled down around others of their kind, and recent tensions causes them to seek out freshly imported Islamic refugees to associate with, where they are further exposed to more raw or non-westernized Islamic ideas. They finally find a community that they feel most at home with, and radicalize themselves out of frustration for having been born in a nation that distrusts or dislikes them.Hate to say it but if these countries don't start deporting these refugees en masse then they're pretty much asking for it at this point.The guy was a home grown terrorist though. 707

Serious / Re: Explosion in Manchester at a concert« on: May 23, 2017, 07:45:07 PM »Well I'm not a counter terrorist expert, but targeting the hot beds of radicalisation such as prisons and mosques would be a start. Rehabilitation centres where extremists can be deradicalised by exposing potential terrorists and Islamists who wish to leave their organisations. Tackle the Westophobic ideological influences and social insularity within Muslim communities by Muslims themselves whilst simultaneously, an active focus towards creating an inclusive national identity to be adopted by all members of society.So then how do you propose stopping these home grown terrorists, and why is it that countries who haven't accepted any refugees haven't had these same problems? It goes beyond just the terrorist attacks, crime in general has gone up too.Hate to say it but if these countries don't start deporting these refugees en masse then they're pretty much asking for it at this point.The guy was a home grown terrorist though. The reason the countries you are presumably alluding to haven't experienced terrorism in recent history is because they don't have significantly insular Muslim populations. However, that doesn't mean the solution is to deport all the Muzzies. They're here now as citizens of these countries, so what's done is done, and the prospect of rounding them up and sending them packing on boats not only presents a seismic logistical problem, but a moral one as well. I agree that immigration needs restricting, but the solution to terrorist activities isn't to hound out people who have lived here for generations just because they subscribe to a set of belief systems, however immoral they may be. 710

The last several attacks were home grown in fact, as Flee pointed out. There are obviously various logistic and integration issues in regards to taking in such monumental numbers of migrants and refugees at the level Europe has for the past half a decade now, but terrorism isn't one of them, at least in the UK. 712
