Sky are reporting a stabbing 300 metres from where he died. What are the chances this was a 'revenge' attack by some knuckle-dragger?

No Russ, never heard of Richard Dawkins, & I dont twitter. I must say I have never had an Athiest knocking at my door wanting to convert me, & having said that, I`ve never had a Muslim either!

I dont believe in any God, but I wouldnt put down any "Belever", If your happy worshipping your God, that great, just keep it to yourself.

Maggie, "Fundamentalist Atheism", never heard of that before, but it doesn`t surprise me at all. Why people don`t just enjoy what life they have without causing misery to others is just beyond me. Reading any newspaper, watching the news is just depressing, I am just so sick, & tired of hearing about Muslims.

Exactly however "new atheism" seems incapable of understanding that.

Well M8, I suppose that applies to any radical movement. Time marches on & brings new trials & tribulations. All I have dreaded for some time is coming true, if these people could only see, feel, & realise the ultimate effect that conflict offers, they would walk away.

I`m glad i`m 62, & wont take part in any future conflicts, but I fear for my sons & grandchildren`s future.

Police treated him at the scene in central Woolwich but Scotland Yard said the violent assault is not linked to the terror attack last week.

yes, we were very remiss in giving women the vote, uppity colonials their countries back, and thinking that perhaps treating all people equally regardless of their sex, sexuality, race, religion, or physical abilities was a good thing......:dozey:

If you want to go back to a time where people 'knew their place', where do you think your 'place' would be?

Let's discuss reality, rather than polemic,eh?

Telegraph
Quote:
Bee stings killed as many in UK as terrorists, says watchdog.....

....“During the 21st century, terrorism has been an insignificant cause of mortality in the United Kingdom. The annualised average of five deaths caused by terrorism in England and Wales over this period compares with total accidental deaths in 2010 of 17,201, including 123 cyclists killed in traffic accidents, 102 personnel killed in Afghanistan, 29 people drowned in the bathtub and five killed by stings from hornets, wasps and bees.”
Whilst the killing of this soldier is horrific, and we must do all we can to prevent more incidents like this, using this incident as a dog whistle to incite fear and over-reaction is playing into the terrorists' hands.

Well the generations before that saw two world wars, the birth of the IRA, and the invention of nuclear weapons. :erm:

And we never want to go through another World War again as the memories might be distant and dimmed for many but watch a few DVD's or programmes and the horrors of what they went through will make anybody shed a few tears.

Hugh, you don't understand. The only way to stop the terrorists from taking over this country is to introduce aspects of Sharia law before they do!
