    Israel in theory could wipe out Hamas but its gone way past that now. The Muslim movement around the world is backing the side of Palestine, I've already said previously of a couple of muslims in Bradford i have done work for openly stated their utter hatred of the Jews. Didn't even try to hide it. I and suspect many like me would simply wish that folk would realise the errors of their ways and learn that all this fighting is futile. But as we know, mankind has always been at war with itself and there are some massive players currently sat at the power table waiting for the next moves to be played. I never thought i would see anything approaching a titled 'World War 3'. Worryingly i think we are on the edge of it right now. Things might get very very messy very quickly.

    A terrorist claiming to be a member of ISIS has killed 2 Swedish football fans in Brussels this evening claiming it was revenge for an attack on a Palestinian boy.

    I doubt this will be the last of its kind in the coming weeks

    I don't think it's just this country in Europe either, that's the scary thing.

    It’s not a question of letting people in or out. It’s a case of volume. At what point is enough? This is where people have differing stances and what causes the debates.

    What is the number you would argue is the right one for immigration and then for asylum seekers?

    I don't know, I'm not a politician mate.

    I just feel - when I look at these terrorist-celebrating islamist marches in their tens of thousands roaming without resistance in our capital city which is only 36% White British - that something has gone wrong somewhere down the line.

    Haven't there been burning of Qurans in Sweden? Aren't tonight's events a direct consequence of that? Why else would they target Swedish fans?

    I think this is more to do with the recent Quran burnings in Sweden than anything else.
    If it was revenge for an attack in a Palestinian boy they could have targeted anyone, however as it was specifically Swedish people it looks more linked to the current bad relations with many Islamic countries and Sweden. The Swedish ambassador has been expelled from some countries and some Islamic counties have pulled their ambassadors from Sweden.

    All part of the same quagmire isn't it? We're going to see more and more of this. History gives us a pretty clear idea of where this will end up.

    So you want freedom of expression and speech stopping for all or just people you don’t like?

    It does have the feeling of the 1930s all over again in Germany.

    Been trending that way for a while. Religious and extreme ideologies, group identity thinking, censureship and propaganda of public discourse, the erosion of moderate and civilised debate, polarisation of the masses, and an always present tension between different cultures. Only ends up in one place.

    When one seeks world domination. It will eliminate anything in its park to fulfill that aim. Easy to see the plan if you know what to look for, some don't realise it and some choose to ignore it at their peril.

    Regardless of whatever warped logic there is behind it - murder/terror/general pathetic outrage over someone burning a book doesn't belong in British/European society.

    That shit can stay in the middle east.

    Celebrating the murder and rape of innocent kids & women is freedom of expression is it?

    Take a long, hard look in the mirror, pal.

    London is great. Both my kids live in East London. It’s a harmonious mix of different people, who just get on with living their lives next to each other. If other mixed cities had half the resources, facilities and activities that London has then there would be much less difficulty in people living side by side. But, of course, they don’t.
    Out of interest, do you ever go there?
