I did not take your post to be disrespectful at all. I just pointed out that you were putting words in my mouth.
You are right when you say that there is little that ordinary joes can do about it...and isn't that exactly what I have been saying...as for the blame game.....you got into that one yourself.

When did you last see EDL behead someone and post the action onto Youtube?
So, very sorry that comparison doesn't stand up to any kind of scrutiny.

If you were from the middle East and you were outraged because of troops being on the ground, at least those troops could be recognised...they wore uniforms....it was categorised as a War Zone.
Those folks who were out for a bit of R&R in Paris last weekend had no way of recognising their aggressors, and hence they had no way to protect themselves...they were unarmed.......so these 'fighters'(if you prefer that term to murderers) were attacking people who could not know they were under attack, had no knowledge that they were at war.......so isn't that against the Geneva convention......attacking unarmed civilians...but hey they were 'infidels' so fair game for these murderers.

I have never advocated violence, but I think it is time that a definitive response was made to these actions...to cut off supplies, to seek out those providing funding and remove this at source.......for the muslim community to stand up and make sure their young men know that it is not a requirement to be a jihadi to prove you are a good muslim...and whatever we feel about religion( some people have firm beliefs and good luck to them for that) those who have made their homes in Europe and the UK are free to practise their religion without let or hindrance.......something which is denied to Christians in some arabic countries(you won't see a christian church in Saudi).

If those people do not like western ways, or western culture, let them go to a country that supports their seventh century values.
I think that now Russians have been violated the pace may just hot up for ISIS.
You do not have to see events through the lens of the Beano, you are just as capable as I am to seek out information....goodness knows you can find links to outdated stuff for other threads.
