Prevent doesn’t say that at all.

Western leaders have pointed to extremist Islamic ideology as the problem that needs resolving in order to reduce attacks?

Fine with me. Just saying that if they decide he's the one to be backup then I'm OK with it. Barring getting really unlucky he won't play much.

Yes but that would be the issue whoever we had.

Andrew not famed for his accuracy. I preferred it when the pharaoh was portrayed as Elvis.

Apologies I misread your post.

Edit: I misread the post.

"My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves."

Many are. I know that surveys show that an alarming amount have some very dodgy views on homosexuals and equality of women but in fairness I'm not sure if that actually translates to open discrimination or prejudice. I am sure that the majority are just normal people. That doesn't mean that extremist Islam and it's teachings aren't a huge problem and that there aren't real problems from its adherents in the UK.

He also went apeshit and threw criminals out of the temple.

Why is that important?

So nothing to do with the perverted teachings of some within the religion itself? The reason that almost all terror attacks in the West are committed by extremist Islamists is because the religion has been persecuted since the end of WW2?

You asked me who and I answered who. Not sure why you think my post didn't answer the question or was a weird tangent.

So then why is Islam a common factor in so many of these attacks?

That's a good point. If some racist white guy kills a bunch of black people no one would have any issue with calling out the far right ideology that influenced him or any government initiative looking to deradicalise similar individuals. You wouldn't say something like "well these unrelated black people had moved into parts of the white guys country and committed crimes and raped some people so even though we aren't justifying his killings it's kind of the inevitable consequence of allowing these things to occur."

I didn't say it's the only factor but there a reason why the overwhelming majority of these attacks originate from the same source. It's because we have extremist religious nutters spewing hatred and ideology that hates the West and who we are. Some of these people will consider themselves devout believers, some will have unfortunate personal circumstances that push them in that direction and some will use the religion as an excuse but the existence of the ideology and the continued promotion of it is in my view the primary factor and it's rarely called out explicitly by those with the power to do something about it.

I'm genuinely fine with that if it's clear he's backup, they get someone else in and move McCarthy on. Bazunu is perfectly fine as a number 2 keeper. The problem is when we have to play him so much.

What's my assumption? There's no assumption involved in knowing that Islamic extremists are involved in loads of terror attacks because their fucked reading of Islam tells them to kill people. Are you saying that there aren't many examples in recent history of terror attacks committed in the name of Islam? What terror attacks have been committed in the west in the name of other major religions that are comparable to 9/11? London bombings? Manchester arena bombings? Bataclan? Charlie Hebdo? Christmas Market rammings? That's just off the top of my head, we know that if I looked it up I could find probably 100 more examples. Attacks of that type that threaten innocent people in the west is absolutely something that comes overwhelmingly from extremist Islam.

I would suggest asking for a clarification if you're confused rather than inadvertently interpreting a post in bad faith.

But we know that attacks happen in the name of Islam all the time. Even if hypothetically this one is entirely motivated by Israel that doesn't change the very significant problem of extremist Islam motivating people to commit terror attacks.

I never said people on here though I haven't posed the question whether everyone on here thinks that the teachings of extremist Islam are a big part of the reason behind these attacks.

The evidence for this is?

It is and rather disappointing. I thought the west would be a lot more strident about defending its values and a lot tougher on people who hate us and want to kill us. We should be using every means necessary to root out and remove these people who threaten us and who teach hate.

Ignoring all the people on social media and the real media, how many western leaders in response to all these attacks have highlighted the teachings and followers of extremist Islam as a problem or the problem that needs eliminating in order to reduce these attacks? Where is the government anti extremist campaign in schools to tackle the extreme and backwards version of Islam that pervades certain parts of that society? Happy to create one to talk to men about respect for women though on the back of a fictional Netflix show. Obviously the government have no desire to do anything like that because they don't want to highlight the extreme parts of the religion as a unique problem and a greater risk than others.

Plenty of people will think they at least partially brought it on themselves because they are Jews.
