Like I said, western Europe... Far too soft... And that's because of the values ingrained in most of us.
Sadly, terrorism has been allowed to carry on through Europe for a multitude of reasons, but one of the glaring reasons is our values, which bring about a soft approach on these matters and allow things to manifest into a point where extremely bad things happen and we're left scratching our head asking why.. Do you disagree?
I mean hundred of girls were raped accross England and nothing was done for 30 years as not to cause offence?
You've got to split that in to two parts to me.
The grooming gangs, handled terribly.
Was that so as not to cause offence, hard to disagree, so on a local level you have a point.
On a global level, given the amount of wars we've become embroiled in and the amount of carnage we've caused, (we being the west), then soft and liberal, definitely not.
Islamic fundamentalism was around when Britain first went into Afghanistan in the 1800s, but it's was a drip that's become a flood, and people can say you can't blame foreign policy but I'm afraid it's very much a factor.
How do we stop it? Not really going to disagree with any of the points you made in post 208, but the reason none of those things are happening is again nothing to do with liberals.
May told the police chief of Manchester to stop being a drama queen when he complained that cuts could lead to a terrorist attack as well as lifting the control order on the actual bomber so he could carry out fuck knows what dirty work in Libya.
Patel, to show she was tough on immigration decided to target the low hanging fruit of the Windrush generation, nothing to do with the left.
