>Yes.
'Interesting'...
Hmm.
I'm glad... I'm well away from it.I'm glad you're well away from it too :-)
I can't wait till I move away from this country to Australia then i'll be away from 'it' too...
One thing is though, the global scale of this terror..is the fact that it allows no-one to be truely safe from the bombs, deaths and damage caused. Albeit, some place are definately safer than others..
>When will the violence stop???
How longs a piece of string?..No, seriously thats a very good question. Its very hard to answer though.
There seems to be two groups of Muslims here in England. One group (the majority) are like that of any other religion...just following their faith so to speak.
But..then there are (here in England) a very dangerous group of individuals. Often appearing to be fairly young in age. Radical extremists. When you watch the news you can be horrified as to what these people say are the goals of their religion and war. "Muslims will rule the world"..."we will stop at nothing".. "the british government will pay".."Tony Blair is this, that etc. etc." The hatred is very real and dangerous indeed.
Funnily enough these same people..some of the recent bombers, have been quoted as "Bombers on Benefits"
Doesn't it seem strange that these extremists who hate the government so much and want them to "pay" are ironically funded by the very government they hate to live here in the first place. With housing benefit (they have a flat/house all paid for by us and the governemnt and also down to the very food they eat is funded by the people they hate. Not forgetting the british government having troops out in Iraq paid to protect 'us' from these very people - when in fact they are also paying these 'people' to live here in the first place!
Lastly, another worrying apsect are these bombers, aswell as being sometimes benefits type people - are also very well educated university people too...with chemistry degrees etc (hence the bomb making skills) Some of the resent ones have been exposed as being well educated, married with children. Their families knew nothing of what they were planning.
I fear (and I know this sounds depressing) but I think its a case of perhaps not when will this stop, but with the mess things are in in this country at least...its possibly just the beginning.
I know New Zealand may not be perfect - but in all honesty I truely believe its a far better country at present than the UK in many many respects...i'm really not proud to be british anymore, this place is going downhill bigtime :-(
On a more positive note lol I just have to remind myself that is why i'm moving to Australia :-)
Kind regards
Nick
