Blunkett and Blair have both claimed in the last few days that we in the UK are in no greater danger of a terrorist attack than at anytime during the last few years.

Well, I dont know whether theyve noticed but there have been bombs going Bang in all sorts of places recently.

Personally I think the threat is greater now after Afghanistan and Iraq than it's ever been. Think it's just a matter of time that the UK gets a big hit.

From Iraqi weapons of mass destruction?

Well frankly, after all the cancelled London to Washington flights, that makes me conclude that either the intelligence that caused their cancellation was a total hoax, or the lovely unqualified "no greater danger than at any time..." sets the bar extremely high (i.e. the danger from the cancelled flights).

I'm not really bothered about worrying what if. If its going to happen it is going to happen. I'm surprised something has not already happened in the UK and agree it will only be a matter of time, unfortunately.

Based on the fact that some kind of IRA, RIRA, CIRA related attack is always on the cards and has been so for the last 35 years, then I would tend to agree with the above statement. As the risk was already massive, an extra few nutters doen't make much difference

FB- tend to agree, we've not been safe for a good few years, just different causes at work.

Life's too short to live in fear. If your number's up, it's up. Harsh but true.

I work in the square mile and commute through waterloo and waterloo & city line (apart from this morning ) every day.

my thoughts are usually with where to get my latte and sausage and egg muffin in the morning.

the threat of terrorism is ever present, but tbh, I can't be ar$ed to worry about it. As the sticker on my range rover says, "**** happens!"

As above, we've lived under the threat of terrorism from within for years - never worried about it before and not about to start either (dads best mate was killed in NI by IRA) - if its gonna happen there is nothing that can be done to stop it I don't think its any worse than before - just different and added media hype..

Isnt this what the Muslims believe in anyway and that they'll go to paradise when they die.Maybe thats why the suicide bombers arent worried what they do

Submission:
Muslims believe that those who submit to the will of God, as explained by Muhammad in the revelations he received from God, will be saved and will have a place in Paradise after they die. In Paradise believers will experience both spiritual and physical pleasure for all eternity. Those who do not repent and follow God will spend eternity in suffering in Hell. In the Qur'an 98:1-8, it states: "The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell.


Weird thing reigion!
