Four Suspected Islamists Terrorists Arrested In Raids Across London

First topic message reminder :

Four suspected Islamist terrorists have been arrested in a series of raids across London. One of the suspects - aged 21 - was tasered during his arrest but was not injured and did not require medical treatment, Scotland Yard said. Counter terror police arrested the men - two aged 20 and two aged 21 - and were helped at one address by armed officers, although no shots were fired.

It is understood at least one of the suspects is believed to have travelled to Syria. A Whitehall source told the Press Association that officers believe the raids were an "early disruption" of what could have been a "significant plot". A Scotland Yard statement said: "These arrests and searches are part of an ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism."

All men were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism and have been taken to police stations in central London and remain in custody. A number of residential addresses and vehicles are being searched by specialist officers in west and central London as part of the investigation.

didge I'm not screaming it is just the truth , you suffer from institutional racism. our maybe a better term would be Blind Patriotism. You seem to believe that all the evil your side does should be forgiven with a simple apology yet demand death to others that are not much worse, and worse than that you demands for death extend to not caring if innocent children are also killed by your side as long as it was in the name of Killing those slightly worse.

to a guy in the middle east deciding who to fight for... your making the choice hard since you are not dramatically better. we want them to be secular, then we need to show them that secularism is that much better... we are always going to have kill some ISIS dick heads but IF we ever want the killing to stop THEN we need to make the effort to actually be the good guys and not just in our own propaganda

Yep you heard it first here on newsfix, neglecting the fact, these extremists are targeting many Muslims, Christians and countless other faiths, where most of their followers are either foreign or Iraqis who were discriminated by Shia's where half a million Iraqi's have lost their lives mainly to sectarian violence, which now is down to drone attacks for some reason, not sectarian violence or any ideology.

So with this logic of Veya, every Christian in the world would be justified to kill Muslims, based on Christians being killed and persecuted by Muslims.

Yep completely absurd.

Yes Didge because in real life people have all those easily assigned and categorised motivations like they do in your history books

how the progressive argument ends up .....

No your responses are unhinged lunacy, which as seen backs genocide to Muslims by Muslims as a justifiable reply to drone attacks on terrorists, that sometimes by mistake kills civilians.
We have tried to show them secularism is better, they though drowned out all the Liberal voices and took to violence, all of which you blatantly ignore. Peace was in their grasp they choose violence instead based off ideologies based around their religion, which has gone on for centuries.
Your understanding of racism is not only ignorant, but embarrassing, it seems you think screaming racist makes somebody a racist and as I stated before it is people like you that make racism worse,w here there is people like myself and others who have to defend against real racism. Patriotism, I a proud to be English and also of my ethnic roots, I am what is defined as mixed race, showing you have not the first clue what you are talking about where everybody it seems knows I stand against racism, but then it seems you think shouting it will back an absurd point.

So there is no point in debating someone clearly as idiotic as yourself.

So on that note, I shall bid you goodnight, do not forget your milk and cookies, someone will be up later to read you a bed time story

I quite LIKE your idea there of a level playing field as long as it IS a level playing field, and everytime one of these extremeist nut jobs does "his thing" I can riot, burn holy books, and generally do likewise......

If you want to do that then we should stop with the flying robots... they do their thing and we send the flying death drones to blow shit up....  quite frankly I think our retaliation is already far more.  But retaliation rarely solves disputes or anything else

the real point is how can we say we are innocent and expect to be safe when we drop bombs on innocent people over their, sure we can moralise it from our perspective but to do so will only be seen as our hypocrisy by any non westerner.
If we want to claim the high moral ground then we have to make and EFFORT to actually BE GOOD, and not blowing up innocent children is a start.  

yup...I would agree with that....stop exporting our shit over there...seems good...and likewise lets stop importing their shit here.....

no more immigrants, and whilst we are at it lets remove those that are already here that we (with good reason) suspect of being part of "their " shit.....

seems like a DAMN fine idea.......

well that's not quite what I said but at least your not arguing to blow up kids like didge ....

AND I hate to admit it but the more I speak with British people on here the more I believe maybe you would be better of with out immigrants (or the Immigrants would be better off not going there) you seem in capable of 'imbuing the secular dream'. the ideals of Freedom does not seem to come naturally to the British

Show me one argument where I advocate blowing up children
Lie exposed.
This is why some of the left are so disingenuous.
I just argued you backed the view of genocide based off the only association being a religion and of what happens to some people of that religion, which was your argument and I do not back any children being the victim of any drone attack or act of war.
This is why it is impossible to debate you when you basically have no intention of reasonable debate.

I really have no need to continue conversing with a complete idiot

Night

IN a Country that is VERY RACIST great job there buddy, but understand here people like you are still considered racist sure you might not actively hate on other groups (but you do seem to on Muslims) but it is your attitude that keeps minority ethnicities in lower paid jobs, keeps them out of politics, stops them enjoying the true freedom of secularism. You are fine for the other groups to be there but You still want Individuals to fit into your little groups and categories so you can define them and attribute motivations.

I have Told You before... Aussies are taking it to the NEXT level and actually addressing the institutional causes of discrimination

So there is no point in debating someone clearly as idiotic as yourself.

So on that note, I shall bid you goodnight, do not forget your milk and cookies, someone will be up later to read you a bed time story

and what do you think those bombs dropped with limited intelligence on the targets are likely to do???? based on all the evidence over the past decade since they started drone bombing...  watch the video it is interesting and funny and would give you some thing to consider before you go defending the US use of bombing drones... One only has to see the value of life they place on their own black citizens, you expect them to care about a dark skinned foreigner

http://www.news.com.au/national/raaf-mission-against-isis-pilots-did-not-drop-bombs-because-of-collateral-damage-risk/story-fncynjr2-1227083688464

Something else to consider the US army does not like Aussie pilots our rules of engagement are slightly different and the Pilot always has the last call in the Civilian casualties prevention.

AUSTRALIAN Super Hornet pilots pulled out of their first armed air strike against Islamic State militants in Iraq because the risk to innocent people on the ground was simply too great.

The Australian Hornet crew received a “red card’ to prevent the strike jet from attacking a target on the very first night of the Australian air combat mission in Iraq on Sunday.

The strike jets have flown three missions into Iraq — two with two aircraft and one with four — and have yet to drop any weapons.

During a high-level briefing on Operation Okra by military commanders in Canberra this morning the Chief of Joint Operations Vice-Admiral David Johnston revealed that the crew did not fire due to the risk of collateral damage.

“One of our packages on the first night ... had an identified target which it was tracking and that target moved into an urban area where the risks of conducting a strike on that target increased to a point where it exceeded our expectations of the collateral damage,” Admiral Johnston said.

Anyone ever feel like they are chasing their own ass on this subject? On and on, the same old thing, year in and year out. When and where is this ever going to end.
