If the mentally ill people who have nothing to do with religion were planning to blow up the cup final, surely they wouldn't draw attention to their terror cell by blowing up a smaller target a few days before. #strawclutching
Andy Burnham last night said we shouldn't call it Islamic terrorism or Islamic extremism, as that would only serve to stigmatise all Muslims.
Instead, he believes, we should refer to it simply as "terror" or "extremism"
If you found out his children had cancer, would there not be a teeny part of you that laughed?
Not all our fault. Just partly. Abedi learned how to make bombs in Libya, where he was allowed to go to and come back from despite being a known Islamist. Thing is, 'we' were on the side of the Islamists, which is probably why he was allowed to go. Calling terrorists 'rebels' magically makes them ok, it seems. As I keep saying, we really should stop supporting Islamists.
So now when any white racists beat the **** out of a black guy they won't call it white supremacism so as not to offend all whites?
