I certainly hope so. Bless them and keep them in this hard time, Britons deserve justice. As hard as they try and as good as they are, increasingly police and judicial procedures seem to fall short.

'What subtle wisdom am I missing in your words?"
On finishing the Reconquista, they forcibly expelled the remaining moslems from Spain.

Thanks! One thing I like about FR is the opportunity to learn!

I'm just now getting back to this thread,since I last posted to you.Just got back from watching the Pirates beat the Phillies 2-1.

I dislike polls and pay little attention to them.

Your later posts give me a better understanding of your position.I appreciate the fact that you took the time to provide them.

My position is only this,I want the Brits to be a strong ally,I want them to be resolute in fighting their internal terrorist threat.I want the same for our country as well.

I learn alot here at FR and I'll be the first to admit I have alot to learn.

I appreciate the information you have provided,so thank you.

"Hell, France has more stringent anti-terror/threat laws than the UK."

When I posted this I was labelled anti-Brit. But it's true and there is an important lesson here for the US.

The French give lip service to liberalism but they are quite authoritarian in deeds. They deport Muslim clerics. In the US and UK the rights of criminals and terrorists, prisoners in Gitmo, are given more importance than protecting our own, be they soldiers or civilians.

The first listed civil right is Life.

That's the best position I've seen.

How many Spanish troops were in Iraq and how many are in Afganistan now?

Europe has a HUGE islamic problem. They won't be able to do anything about terrorism until they get their domestic muslim populations under control

I disagree. The way to change muslim behavior is to change the behavior of its leaders. Its leaders are not in Europe. The least the leaders it fears most and the leaders that have the most power are in Iran.

You send the HMS Vengeance to the Indian Ocean and have it take out Tehran. Then you request unconditional surrender from Iran. If they say no, you take out another city, so on and so forth, until they surrender or they are no more.

Muslims in Europe see this and they will understand that if they try anything, not only will they be set upon with no mercy but they will be sent back to a radioactive wasteland.

Total Destruction and Ultimatums worked with the fanatical German and Japanese of the 1940s, it will work with these fanatics too.

Oh, contraire. Europe has been the bed of education and revolution for some of Islam's most influential leaders. Heck, Ayatollah Khoemini took up residence in France for something like 15 years....preaching hate, before returning to Iran for its revolution. Some of his students remained.

While I don't have the names at the top of my tongue (some have been mentioned just recently), Europe has provided the sanctuary for some of Islam's leading Sheiks, Clerics, Imans, etc to spread their vitriol under the very freedoms they were not allowed in their own countries.

Some of the most radical dissidents from the more moderate countries (Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq under Saddam, since he suppressed them and even Iran at one time) ended up in Europe...and are still there preaching their hate.
