'With regard to your catalogue of locations inferring a huge support structure --- well I think there is a support structure -- there must have been for Paris to have happened with all those attacked simultaneously but lets not get the impression that either ISIS or AQ are this huge structure - 'monolithic" in its definition.'RS
Good point Mon Cheri, I probably did not explain myself very well, what I mean is that for every Islamic extremist they must have the tacit support / sympathy of many other members of their communities. I think a lot of funding comes from collections to sus charities and collections in mosques from sympathisers. NR

'Im certainly not making excuses. Questions arise as do we take the war to them, fo we secure our own borders, lives etc, or do we do both.
For a lockdown situation at home, all the usual routines for Bug-IN have got to be bought into play, There's nothing new to say unless someone else has got ideas. 'RS
I prefer to do anything to avoid war or the all encompassing aspects of a police state, the former leads to unnecessary deaths on both sides, the latter means everyone is assumed to be guilty and we end up in a totalitarian police state.
I prefer the most costly, uncomfortable and emotionally hard option of segregation........ I feel the only way we in the west can be safe and the muslim community can live freely as it choses is if we are segregated, us in Europe them in the middle east and north Africa. I say that NOT out of hatred but out of the sad realisation that we have been trying to kill each other since the 7th century and the only times things are remotely peaceful is when the two cultures are geographically divided.
But that is NOT what we are here to discus, I want POSITIVE suggestions for making the lives of our community safer and more secure.
Devon stop pretending you have a social life "Sorry, been out and have only just got back," You are SUKs version of Stuart the comic book store dude off Big Bang Theory
