Should we be concerned by radical Islamics?

He laid low by featuring in a documentary watched by millions.

You seem to have already decided he is guilty. I think I will wait to see what evidence emerges before getting all in a panic.

Can you name one convicted terrorist who has then been let loose?

Should we be concerned by radical Islamics.

Yep.

In the same way that we should be concerned by paedophiles, obesity and drunk drivers.

It's a bit of a no-brainer.

The last Islamic terrorist I could find was sentenced in 2009.

Nicky Reilly got life imprisonment with a minimum term of at least 18 years. No one except himself was injured in the attack. This is the longest term possible. How could it be harder?

Pity you didn't take the same attitude over the John Terry affair.

The difference there was I saw Terry utter the words himself on YouTube.

Did You read the end of the link you provided on the Terry case. He it is again.

// Howard Riddle's judgment:
'The prosecution has presented a strong case. There is no doubt that John Terry uttered the words 'f****** black c***' at Anton Ferdinand.
'When he did so he was angry. Mr Ferdinand says that he did not precipitate this comment by himself accusing Mr Terry of calling him a black c***.
'Even with all the help the court has received from television footage, expert lip readers, witnesses and indeed counsel, it is impossible to be sure exactly what were the words spoken by Mr Terry at the relevant time.
'It is impossible to be sure exactly what was said to him at the relevant time by Mr Ferdinand. It is not only that all of this happened in a matter of seconds.
'For a small part of the relevant time, the camera's view of Mr Terry was obstructed. We do not have a clear camera view of Mr Ferdinand, sufficient to pick up exactly what he said.
'No matter how serious the incident looks now, and how crucial the exact wording is now, at the time it was secondary to the key witnesses. They are professional footballers in the final minutes of a game where the result mattered to them both.
'They would naturally concentrate on the game more than on exactly what had been said to them or by them. I have assessed John Terry as a credible witness.
'Weighing all the evidence together, I think it is highly unlikely that Mr Ferdinand accused Mr Terry on the pitch of calling him a black c***.
'However I accept that it is possible that Mr Terry believed at the time, and believes now, that such an accusation was made. The prosecution evidence as to what was said by Mr Ferdinand at this point is not strong.
'In those circumstances, there being a doubt, the only verdict the court can record is one of not guilty.' //

Our politicians still do not get it! The terrorists are living here in Britain under the guise of British citizenship. We don't need to send troops abroad to stop the danger. Many of the future terrorists are waiting to attack Britain by queuing up at Calais to get here illegally on the back of lorries.

Maybe the answer is to have a home defence dept.

Agree with you, another measure would be to clamp down on them travelling in and out of Pakistan, after all that is where most of them are receiving their training.
