Please attempt to distinguish between extremists and non extremists to avoid starting the inevitable waste of time that is "can Islam be judged by its believers?" - KwarK |

Police aren't paid to go Dredd in America either his view is not a mainstream one in the USA on how police should act.

You judge a tree by the fruit that it bears.
"No, no, please distinguish between the fruit and the tree."
And why? Are not actions often preceded by ideas? One births the other.
In any case, what matters is not the religion, but the backwards culture, which is tolerated and excused in the name of enlightened multiculturalism.

I really hope the question ''How much intel can you get out of them?'' is never a consideration when police decide to shoot someone.

People have said that they seemed like "they were on something". Nothing bothers me more than people who immediately accuse all Muslims of things like this - and scrolling through this thread, seeing comments like "why can't they move to an Islamic country" only serves to emphasise the incredible ignorance that plagues Western society and contributes to culture divides that lead to crimes like this.
Ignorance breeds hate.
The EDL, hilariously, have responded by... vandalising buildings and attacking police, while complaining about the attack on someone meant to "protect" us. Fantastic.

I'm wondering why it took 35 minutes for police to respond. For a country that created policing you expect more from them.

No! imprisoned for life. That is a way, way harder punishment. Besides this is in Europe. Thankfully our government does not execute people.

Historically British troops in the UK are killed by the Irish. This is the first incident like this I've heard of.

Are they acting alone? Looks like it. Going back to what you said before because it sounds like you're trying spin-doctor what I said. It's not so much of an excuse as it is protecting yourself and everyone else in the perimeter. That's why under pressure/stress if the suspect doesn't co-operate and make aggressive moves. I know cops over here will fire in certain scenarios. In this case it sounds shit was escalating quickly and there were a lot of bystanders. I'd want to get control of the situation asap. So going back to these crazy guys. What do you hope to achieve in a court case against? They got the attention they wanted and I don't think you're going to get much of anything out of them. Let's just give them a life sentence?

People going out and attacking mosques like at least two have according to ITV are not exactly refuting the jihadi belief that the West is at war with Islam itself good job guys.

You hope to achieve justice from a court case. Without a court case there is no justice. That is how the system works. That is why we have the right to imprison them idefinitely and they don't have the right to behead a dude.

But is it, really? Think about it, they get free food and housing for the rest of their lives supported by the taxpayers of the very community that their crimes damaged. Is that really worse than dying? Especially if we consider the option that they weren't in fact religious extremists, but insane lunatics who may or may not feel any remorse whatsoever?
It's tricky. There's a realistic standpoint to this notion, not just a purely moral-based one, and both should be considered and weighed.

I guess those jihadi's will just have to learn that you can't judge the entire West by the actions of a minority.
lol...

Considering that they believe there are a couple dozen virgins waiting for them when they die, i'd assume yes. It's worse. Never discard the effect that imprisonment can have. Especially isolated imprisonment, which they would need to be put in.

Given that the guys in question were complaining about the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and they chose a military target I doubt the massively overhyped backlash against Muslims which isn't actually happening is going to be an important factor. Now if we were to invade Iran that'd probably count, a random nutjob failing to do anything to a mosque in Braintree, not so much.
