I don't purport to know the short term answers to attacks like this, i'm sure that if the security services had any inkling then they'd have picked this bloke up and stopped it. The point is that we cannot as a decent, civilised society bow down to these murdering b astards, but by the same token we cannot punish a whole community either, i'm absolutely adamant that the muslim community could, and should, do much more, but ostracising them does no good for anyone.
Nor do any of the 'solutions' that people come up with every terror attack. Have a candlelit vigil, a minute's silence, the governments speak of strong measures, people discuss it on the internet, nothing happens, and then the next attack arrives.

I haven't said ostracise an entire community. I have said deport or indefinitely jail everyone on the terror suspects list.

And to answer one or two points further up, it's quite simple. Deport any foreigners who are suspected of being involved with terrorism, jail any British ones. It's not rocket science. If they are suspected, there is a sound reason for being suspected, and it's not just because they are Muslim. Otherwise we wouldn't have 4,000 on the list we would have over 3 million on the list. So the people who are saying this would attack/ostracise/demonise an entire community or religion, stop talking absolute sh!te.
