| We are talking real world here. I am only putting up day to day fact s of life here, as it happens.
I have asked for some info ,in my last post, from Monty , and when that has been answered I will put the matter to bed.
There is no exageration here, far from it. We are constantly keeping a lid on things, as the most tolerant people in the world. Only a few days ago, an East London vicar was attacked outside his church by muslims, battered and kicked and left in a heap in the road, to shouts of ' our f****** church should be a mosque'. Just another everyday incident that we have to live with. But I guess that vicar brought it on himself by being here. He is in a sad state. As far as I know, this has never happened yet to an Imam here.
Regarding the approach of academics to the subject, and their individual agendas, I prefer to judge by what I see, what I hear, what I know is going down in my corner and on my watch. Just like a soldier in the field has to.
I have no interest in alarmist or exagerated themes, only in sticking up the facts as the unfold, for interest and discussion.
I can hear what the extremists tell us they want, and what they are going to do, they make no secret of it.
Tell those who have been bombed around the world that they are crying wolf. Absolute nonsense that would be.
Facts, reality, facing up. That is all that counts. The books about it can be written later.
I prefer to listen to our security services, who have served us well. They are very experienced and not given to over-cooking.
We know something of living with terrorism you know, but they haven't been able to terrify us yet, and they won't now.
But that doesn't mean we should not mention it or act as tho' it is not happening. Only complete idiots would try that as a policy.
