Kahn said that all Major Cities have terrorist attacks and people should get used to it.

I be wary of him, and he plays the race card but worse out there

Is that it?

There isn't a think wrong with defending terrorist suspects as a lawyer

They're among the most likely to be locked up on spurious evidence

It's the breakaway mosques that they should be looking at. The one in Blackpitts is made up of the more extreme and radicalised members and it's obviously getting a larger number of members as it's bought new premises and is building on a huge new mosque, coffee shop and museum in the next few years. Obviously expecting a lot more members in the years to come. Hopefully this is being monitored by gardai and the extreme members deported.

Ha ha fat chance!

What's your evidence/source for this alleged radicalism? The US govt Wikileaks memo?

You're right about the Mosques being a problem. Their financing & beliefs should be looked into & if any fundamentalists connections found, then closed down or not given permission for expansion. But I'm sure we're too fond of Saudi lucre - just like in England - for that to happen.

Anything on khan apart from smear and innuendo?

It gets worse, and here lies one of the fundamental problems with the security forces in the UK.

Just a light extract;

"Security agencies in the UK are under pressure to explain how an inquiry two years ago into one of the men who carried out Saturday night’s terror attack was downgraded.

Pakistan-born Khuram Butt, who was known to British police and MI5, was named yesterday by police in connection with the attack.

A member of the public had also reported him to an anti-terror hotline."

There's only so much the Security Services can do. There are at least 23,000 Islamic extremists in the UK. Even will all the big data, surveillance programmes, and CCTV, it still take manpower to investigate each individual and their potential links. Some might be benign, or in a 'sleeper' mode. Others are highly active and immediate threats. For the immediate threats, that means 24/7 surveillance by trained, experienced officers.

And it takes roughly 50 officers in a rolling capacity around the clock to monitor ONE SINGLE SUSPECT. :eek:

The bottom line is the the UK is swamped, utterly swamped with potential threats. Which is why I fear this is going to end in sectarian attacks somewhere down the line.

A swift reaction is the best they can hope for

Any one of these suspects can take a knife and climb into a van
