These freshly radicalised muslims are then ready to commit suicide bombings, potentially against children, and it is the non-Muslim verbal dissenters that brought it on themselves.
If we have a section of UK society that is ready to commit acts of murder (eg, similar to the Charlie Hebdo example) because they are tweeted against, insulted by a cartoon or words, or offended how women in the west dress, act and enjoy themselves, then we have a huge problem in our society that NEEDS NAMING AND DISCUSSING. Not ignoring as you suggest and if you persist with this ridiculous PC, denialist narrative, you will make the deaths of more innocents likely.
For the above reasons, a position such as you lay out above is now morally indefensible and it is the same path the politicians are rigidly fixed to.
Lee Rigby, PC Keith Palmer, Manchester, numerous plots foiled. How many terror successes and failures do you want to see before you accept there is a deadly problem with a minority of our Islamic community. There is a small percentage within that community who want to bring about the end of our "western" way of life and replace it with a Caliphate. Do you beleive that a tweet or a facebook post will "push them over he edge" to becoming murderers? You are deluded if you do.
Around the world, it is Muslims who, by far, are the greatest number killed by Islamic Terror. If it helps to get it into your virtue signalling, denialist skull, then accept that NAMING and discussing the issue in an open and difficult way will lead to less Muslim deaths as one consequence.
I might be wrong, but I think it was Voltaire who said something like "if you want to solve a problem, you first have to name it."
Our politicians don't even want to name it, and that can only lead to more teddy bears and tea lights. I, for one have had a belly full of those.
Let me ask YOU a question. Are you ready to acknowledge and discuss openly and very frankly the role that the Koran and Hadith play in all of this?
