Oh we'll have that here some day. Our politicians are no less spineless than the French.

Perspective:

It is estimated that there are 2.3 billion muslims in the world. Muslim terrorist attacks in 2014 (a bad year) have
killed 871 people (as of a few days ago)
You can't add 'perspective' with completely made up numbers. There are closer to half that number of Muslims and ISIS alone have murdered ten times that number of Iraqi civilians and god knows the terror they have visited on those they haven't killed.
My sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamic_terro...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_world

Wikipedia I know, but by all means show evidence to support your case that makes a material difference.
I believe the ISIS vs Iraq may count as war rather than terrorist attacks (if one includes the number killed by US citizens in war that will also of course go up substantially).
Show 'evidence to support my case'? OK lets start with your source which clearly states 1.6bn or in fact closer to half the number you are claiming. As I said.

As for ISIS conducting some kind of legitimate war against Iraq and not in fact murdering and terrorising mostly defenceless civilians well I can only imagine you do not have any kind of news service where you live. http://m.christianpost.com/news/un-report-on-isis-...

It's funny that you start by trying to be the voice of reason and have ended up trying to legitimise ISIS as being at war and therefore somehow not Islamic terrorists. Sterling work. I mean pretty fvcked up but still 10/10 for effort.

In the US for 2013 (an average year), approximately 12,000 were killed by gun crime, in a population of 316 million.

In neither category were any of these deaths in the UK

What do we learn from this? If you don't want to be killed in an act of violence, don't worry about immigration, just don't book a family holiday in Disneyland, or a shopping trip to New York
I'm sure "we" have killed more of "them" than they have of us over the years.
I sincerely hope so.

Jimbeaux, it is the other way round mate. The Swedes are attacking the religion off peace, read the link.

Ah sorry, too much Christmas Bourbon. biggrin So, a fringe group fired the place up? On another bit from the article; "The mainstream want to maintain their liberal immigration policies". The irony will come when those who wish to maintain such a liberal policy look shocked and surprised when the culture and way they live suddenly dissolves around them. I hope they then will not expect the same tolerance they gave to be reciprocated.

Another one has popped up. Seems to be a lot of mental illness out there in France all of a sudden hehe

Telegraph said:
A man has tried to strangle a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is great), the latest in a spate of attacks in France that have heightened fears of terrorism.


The latest assault took place in the eastern city of Metz on Friday when a man arrested for bag-snatching asked the officer to bring him a glass of water.


When the policeman opened his cell door, the 23-year-old lunged at him and tried to throttle him while shouting "Allahu Akbar".


Other police officers saw the events on the video surveillance system and rushed to save their colleague, who had been thrown to the ground. His assailant was said to have a history of psychiatric problems.


“The doctor who treated him (the officer) said that just a few seconds more and it would have been too late,” Michael Philippart of the SGP FO police union told L’Est Républicain, a newspaper.

I don't think so. The Swedes are fed up with the toll of immigration that's been forced upon them let alone the increase in crime which they blame upon the muslim immigrants. They're getting very angry about the situation.
