I agree with this view. I think we'll be seeing a fair few more 'up close and personal' attacks over here in the manner of Woolwich.
The terror effect of shooting or hacking away in random schools, shopping centers, etc. would cripple a nation; at least for a while. I think of what they had planned for the Aussies and see that as damn scary.
Folk say don't start acting or living life differently or "they" have won, and worry about extra state or police security and controls, but I worry that it is a matter of time. The agencies can't know of, track or stop all of the significant number of nutters who'd like to act in the way the IS cretins promote.

Then we'll face one or more homeland horrors that will shock us and bring misery to the poor unfortunates involved. It's not like there aren't enough college and school shootings without one (or god forbid a crew of) maniac(s) wading in with automatic weapons, explosives or whatever. I just don't think we can fully head it off now.

Remember Bill when we got the local tribes on side in Iraq, things came under better control (all past now). The same way here is to have those related (family or friend) tip off LE to potential bad doings. For every wannabe jihadist, there is an average four or so related family/friends. Crime fighting only works when communities are involved, we learned that long ago. There has been too little real help coming from the Muslim communities. Therefore, when it kicks off (again), and it will, every Muslim is going to be under the microscope because by then, there will be no time to seperate the good from the bad.

How the Danes handle the issue:

"Of the Danish Muslims who go to Syria, some want to do aid work, while some want to wage jihad. But very little is known about those who go to Syria and then return to Denmark. That's what the leader of the section for prevention of radicalisation and extremism at Eastern Jutland’s police, Allan Aarslev, told me.

Nevertheless the risk of so-called home going terrorism is treated very seriously. But instead of confiscating passports and threatening them with prison – measures recently brought to Denmark that are similar to suggested laws in the UK – Allan and his team are trying a different approach. They offer therapy and guidance, while reaching out to the parents in the community. They do this both preemptively and after the young men have returned to their communities. The idea being to reintegrate the young men into Danish society."

I wonder if the Danes also give out free cuddly toys to these fkers when they return.

The only solution to this is an iron fist. Eradicate these freaks in the desert before they can return to cause mayhem in their home countries.

Some British fighter who knew the now dead Brighton wannabe Jihadi also says that 3 other Britons were killed in recent American strikes. Seems an odd thing to do, but thank you America for killing British citizens.

So apart from the ramblings of some random stinkbeard, do we have any evidence that that ^^ has even the tiniest grain of truth attached to it?

Do you always take the word of a terrorist as gospel?

Bit silly posting that.

Anyone with an ounce of logic would understand that there was no way the US or anybody could have seen the rise of these twisted retards. If you're in any doubt as to what scum we are up against here, just watch one of the videos.

What are we supposed to do - just let them carry on beheading our journalists, aid workers and Iraqi civilians (including children).

Lee Rigby would be first to put himself forward if he were still with us. God rest him.

Rubbish. Messing with internal set-ups of other countries has a long history of creating negative results.

Who the hell do you think we were fighting during Iraq II?

Remember Al Zarqawi? Yeah, the guy who lead Al Qaeda In Iraq - same guy who had a penchant for beheading captives on video.

A rose by an other name. Those people were ISIS: The early years.

They bode their time, waited until the coalition troops had left and started to re-group. That the Al Maliki government marginalised the Sunni's, played right into the hands of ISIS.

Syria gave them another ripe breeding ground.

Unforseen? I'd bet any western intelligence agency worth their salt saw this coming.

Think I read somewhere that the Brits do this as well - works with about 40% of them (the misguided idealists) - which is probably a better success rate than for prison re-offenders as a whole.

It's what guerilla warfare needs - a big, identifiable enemy to rouse a rabble against.

Who cares that much ? They don't tend to invent casualties on their side, why would they ? Yes, it could be false, but to what end, why admit to one death and then add 3 more than no one else was reporting ? Either way, with 600-1000 there, some are going to get killed and the main point of thanking America for killing British citizens still stands, however odd that feels and however much you would have thought that would never be the case. The country has changed.

It doesn't matter. It's happening. The reasons can be argued from both pro and anti perspectives but it doesn't change a thing.

We're going back into Iraq and UK strikes within Syria's borders are inevitable within weeks.

The only question worth considering is whether or not we have the stones to do what most would agree needs to be done in order to get rid of the threat.

We all know deep down that the answer is; no, of course not. We can never and will never win against an enemy like this.

We can't just leave it alone either or else we'd have every radicalised, disgruntled and marginalised young British muslim male self-detonating in the middle of Asda on Saturday afternoon up and down the land.

Blame should, can and will be apportioned after whatever happens, happens. Raking up the reasons that got us to this horrific situation is utterly futile at this point.

We're going back in, better get used to it.
