I agree sue, false views are easily perpetuated by the media. I just think the whole mix of terror events, Western-middle east conflict, extreme Islam and hate crime is so ​complex, the answer doesn't lie in just putting a stop to immigration of one group.

On a lighter note. I know we are not all fans of Jeremy Corbyn in this thread, and not in agreement about whether he is a "star" but I just wanted to share these wonderful Glastonbury photos. Apparently he drew a bigger crowd than the Rolling Stones when they played a few years ago.

I haven't seen Jezza's clip yet, but I agree he is a star in the ascendancy.

Ps have just watched his clip....huge crowds

Another mass shooting.

I don't understand why you don't just ban guns.

Donald 'Moron' Trump has conflated rising UK crime rates with Islamic terrorism. Though we cannot be proud of rising crime rates there are absolutely no grounds for blaming Muslims. This Islamophobic tw*t is a complete embarrassment. The guy has an IQ of a child and an EQ of a house brick.

I think you have to take Trump with a pinch (spadeful) of salt....
He is sort of funny ...if he wasn’t President,
Who governs by Tweet for God’s sake.?
However he was democratically elected, and we have to respect our American friends choice of President...don’t we?

True that he was a white male, but this whack job had been jailed for domestic abuse and deliberately targeted his relatives and others at a Christian Church.

He wasn't doing this in the name of God, unlike Radical Islamic Terrorists who do such things as storming into a Church and beheading an elderly Priest during Mass while shouting "Allah Akbar".
