You are also right about it being radicalisation that's the problem but the reason they are being radicalized is they don't fit in to our society and shouldn't be coming in the numbers they are with next to no vetting. The only way to fight it is to reduce immigration substantially, it may not be ideal and goes against how most of us would like the world to act but it's the only weapon we have to fight this.

kaymin wrote: » Not aware that information is available to the public. At a guess it may be because he claimed to be a Syrian refugee but is in fact Egyptian. At the very least I expect the DoJ to have screened him before allowing him in and to have taken account of the reasons why he was refused refugee status in the UK.
