Me first, me first.

The UK is facing a terrorist threat. 7/7 proves that point.

The UK is facing a threat as a result of blowback from an unethical foreign policy. However, I would qualify this by saying that the initial blowback comes from al Qaeda and co. who propogate terrorist actions against the UK. But, as 7/7 shows, the people who carry out the attacks are young British-born Muslims. The central reason for al Qaeda targetting the UK is blowback against an unethical foreign policy, but what the 7/7 bombers did is a result of social deprivation, identity crises, and brainswashing.

The terrorists in the UK are those people who carry out terrorist attacks on UK soil. A person is not a terrorist until he or she actively plans and/or carries out a terrorist attack.

The worst attack, I assume, is 7/7. I don't think the IRA managed anything worse.

PS I've been reading up on academic discource about coverage of Muslims in the British press. I would appreciate it if you could give me more details about what is you're researching.

PPS is this a last minute thing? Cos the exam season has started and you probably should have had your research more or less sorted by now.

PPPS (?) Have you asked these qs on the MPACUK forum? forum.mpacuk.org

[list=1]This may not be useful to you. I am a Jewish regular on the forums and my answer follows.

[*]The UK faces a terrorist threat as a symbol of late Christian liberalism, a prominent former coloniser and meddler and a military ally of the USA and Israel.

[*]The argument that this is the chickens coming home to roost might have some validity but essentially the terrorists are motivated by Sayyid Qutb's ideology of Islam as an expansionist and ultimately benevolent force against a corrupt west. In particular throughout the '80s and '90s that ideology was exported wholesale by Saudi Arabia massively investing in Wahhabi agitprop in the west. The threat has very little to do with the UK being in any way insensitive at a domestic level - in fact Islamism inherently opposes liberal sensitivities and permissions when applied to any other group. However the anti-capitalists and other disgruntled elements of the hard left have been a fertile source of complementary hostile ideologies.

[*]The biggest terrorist attack on the UK could refer to the IRA's attack on Manchester, which I think was the biggest terrorist bomb. The IRA issued warnings in that instance and there was no loss of life. In terms of loss of life the biggest attack was probably Lockerbie and after that 7/7. IRA bombs for years were a terrible danger but far more localised than the present threat both in geographical and ideological terms.[/list:o]

I disagree with you lot. In my opinion Britain is facing terrorists threat only from Zionists. Jewish terrorists do these things and blame it on Muslims. Our beautiful religion of Islam forbids terrorism and therefore no Muslim can carry out acts of terrorism. Some Jews hate Muslims and would do anything to bring shame upon their religion; they own the media and so spread propanda quite freely; you can all witness that tv channels and newpapers daily pour out their hatred of Islamic religion, our women, hijab, our way of worship, they scorn our Prophet (pbuh) in cartoons, and all sort of other things which delibrerately done to hurt feelings of Muslims.
We all know the Zionists carried out 7/7 and 9/11. They did it to give Muslims and Islam a very bad name.
Muslims are growing in the Western countries. Jews realised that unless something was done, then sooner or later they would get power and firce Europe and America to ditch Israel. If Us did that, then it was feared that Arabs would simply invade Israel and take over Palestine which was lost to Israeli army since 1948. Therefore, these acts of terror are secretly done by Israeli government inorder to scare the western government from listening to voice of oppressed Muslims.
Now people are beginnning to wake up, even in America. Just watch some of the documentaries like Loose Change and and few others; all made by non-muslims. These documentaries show that the 9/11 attacks were not the result of terrorism by Muslims.

What was the biggest terrorist attack?
Worst act of terrorism was 9/11.
In UK, 7/7 was worst when Zionists killed 52 people, including Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and others too.

It's time you and me had a chat. But not on this thread. I don't want to detract from the topics raised by Rahana.

Meet me on this thread:

Rahana- as you can see, some people are living in a fantasy land as to who was responsible for the July 7 Bombing.

I'm not sure how much of a terrorist threat there genuinly is and how much of it is exaggerated by the media and government to cause fear in the general population (I think the government do this in order to pass certain laws that reduce our freedoms, and the media do this to sell newspapers).

The main difference between the current situation and the IRA that I remember from the 80s and 90s is that their main objective was to cause distruption while the current terrorists want loss-of-life. This is why there were bomb-threats constantly on public transport which involved the Underground to be shutdown and this held everybody up. Whereas now, the bombs that are used are designed to cause the most amount of physical harm as possible.

People need to remember they are much more likely to get hit by a car than to get caught in an explosion.

Look at this report in US newspaper.

[b]Poll: Europeans See Jewish Influence[/b]

The Washington Post
By BEN WINOGRAD - May 14, 2007

Some Europeans believe Jews dictate U.S. policy in the Mideast, wield disproportionate global economic influence and talk too much about the Holocaust, according to a report released Monday by the Anti-Defamation League.

The report found that significant numbers of people in five European countries continue to hold anti-Jewish stereotypes, said Abraham Foxman, national director of the U.S. group.

"A large number of Europeans continue to be infected with anti-Jewish attitudes, holding on to classical anti-Jewish canards and conspiracy theories," Foxman said at a news conference.

The survey of 2,714 people in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland found that 51 percent of respondents believe Jews are more loyal to Israel than to the countries in which they live.

Foxman said the widely held belief in dual allegiances was particularly troubling.

The statement that "Jews still talk too much about what happened to them in the Holocaust" was seen as "probably true" by 58 percent of poll respondents in Poland, where many of the World War II Nazi death camps were located. The average for the five countries polled was 47 percent in agreement.

Thirty-nine percent of respondents in Poland also said they somewhat agree or strongly agree that the Jews "are responsible for the death of Christ." Overall agreement with that statement was 20 percent.

An average of 44 percent of those surveyed said Jews "probably" have too much influence in international financial markets, while close to half believed that "American Jews control U.S. policy in the Middle East," the report said.

The survey was conducted by London-based Taylor Nelson Sofres from March 21 through April 16. The margin of error was 4 percentage points.

On the Israeli-Arab conflict, a majority of respondents believed Israel had no right to use military force against Lebanon last summer after Hezbollah fighters captured two Israeli soldiers, the report said. More than a third likened Israel's treatment of Palestinians to that of blacks in South Africa during the apartheid era.

Foxman said he considered neither view intrinsically anti-Semitic.

Italy was the only country whose residents expressed more sympathy to Israelis than Palestinians, the report said, though most respondents in all five countries said they supported neither side in the conflict.

Well then, clearly you're right.

Jewish owned media somehow missed reporting this item.
We wonder why.
When one innocent Jewish lady is killed 3 days ago - Allah bless her - CNN never missed to inform the whole world.

[b]ISRAEL KILLED 650 PALESTINIANS IN 2006[/b]

By AMY TEIBEL, Associated Press Writer
Wed May 23, 1:46 PM ET

JERUSALEM - [b]Israeli troops killed more than 650 Palestinians last year — half of them unarmed civilians including some 120 children — a threefold increase from 2005, a leading human rights group said Wednesday.[/b]

In its annual 2007 global report, Amnesty International also criticized Israel for deepening the poverty in Palestinian territories by withholding customs duties and widening a network of blockades and other travel restrictions.

The group accused soldiers and settlers of committing "serious human rights abuses, including unlawful killings, against Palestinians, mostly with impunity." No such killings were documented in the report.

The number of Israelis killed by Palestinian armed groups diminished by half last year, to 27, including 20 civilian adults and one child, the report said.

By The Associated Press' count, 580 people were killed on the Palestinian side and 34 on the Israeli side in 2006.

Amnesty reported a "significant increase" in the launching of homemade rockets by Palestinian armed groups from Gaza into southern Israel, in which two Israeli civilians were killed. The report gave no number for rockets fired and did not quantify the increase.

The report "shows that the conflict can only be solved through diplomacy and not through military methods," the director of Amnesty's Israeli branch, Amnon Vidan, told reporters.

The Israeli military, in a statement, said it "does its utmost to avoid harming innocent people ... in contrast to terror organizations that do their utmost to harm innocent civilians."

It said, without elaborating, that the report was "rife with inaccuracies" and rejected what it called "the attempt to equate terror organizations" with a "democratic state that acts within the confines of the law to exercise its right to defend itself, its sovereign territory, and civilians against terror organizations."

Most of the Palestinians were killed in the course of frequent air and artillery bombardments against the Gaza Strip, though dozens were also killed in the West Bank, Amnesty said. Israeli attacks "escalated dramatically" after Palestinian armed men attacked a military post inside Israel in June 2006, capturing a soldier, the report said.

Amnesty accused Israel of violating the economic and social rights of Palestinians by restricting passage within Palestinian territories and keeping vital cargo and passenger crossings closed for large chunks of time. Israel says it closes the passages because of security concerns, but the closures grew much more frequent after the soldier, who remains in captivity, was seized.

Israel's withholding of hundreds of millions of dollars in tax duties to the Palestinians caused humanitarian conditions in the West Bank and Gaza to deteriorate "to an unprecedented level," the report said. Poverty, food aid dependency, health problems and unemployment have reached "crisis levels," it added.

Israel suspended the tax transfers after Islamic Hamas militants swept Palestinian parliamentary elections. Hamas refuses to renounce violence or recognize Israel's right to exist.

Amnesty criticized Israel for the continued expansion of Jewish settlements and stepped-up construction of a West Bank barrier. Israel says it is building the enclosure to keep out attackers, but the barrier places about 10 percent of the West Bank on the "Israeli" side.

How do you know Associated Press isn't owned by Jews?

yes the uk is facing terrorist threats because Tony Blair is too far up Bush's

backside that he cant see daylight. Al Qaeda is the main culprit and as a

result of thier influences on young British Muslims, other groups have formed

who believe that they are fighting a jihad when in fact we all know its a

personal war between Osama Bin Laden and Bush after the saudi king asked

America to guard the holy city.
