Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan - "terror attacks are part and parcel of life in a big city"

[Hard To Tell]

I see the old 'but...but....the IRA killed far more people than Muslim terrorists have' routine is being used for this one. Predictable.

Well one: that only applies to the UK, if we look globally then there is no comparison.

Two: The IRA had real, tangible goals, they didn't believe they had a divine right from God to subjugate the whole world with an IRA caliphate.

Three: Even if we go back to looking at just the UK and London then just because Islamic terrorists haven't YET killed as many or more people than the IRA, that doesn't mean this won't change in the future. It's like an Ebola outbreak spreading across Europe and someone saying 'hey, what are you worrying about, historically smallpox has killed far more than Ebola, you are just scaremongering'. If you need it explaining to you how retarded this line of 'logic' is then I fear you are beyond help.

Four: The problems with Islam run far deeper than just acts of terrorism. The bombings, shootings, stabbings, beheadings etc are just the most extreme part of the full package.

He also wouldn't use Trump's name when referring to him and said he wouldn't get involved in American politics then...



He also mentioned that London and New Yorks communites cannot become divided, despite the fact that the city he presides over is majority Non-White British and is the most divided it has ever been.

So there you have it folks, stop crying about terrorism, it's societies fault, not a certain religion/culture...

is he wrong? london been dealing with IRA before.

I don't think anyone is giving either group a pass. Both groups present threats to society worth preparing for and taking action against.

It's just admitting that terrorist actions are a by-product of civilization and society that is mostly unavoidable.

All we can do is prevent and react, there is no cure.

Please show me the recent terror attacks, or even vaguely frequent terror attacks, in cities like Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Seoul, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Beijing, Shanghai, Mexico City.

Those cities all have something in common, I wonder what that might be...

 

[Arkain2K]

Looks like the "But the IRA!" tagline is the British equivalent to our "But the Crusades!" derailing device huh.

 

[Staph infection]

I wonder at what point the world gets tired of this and fights back? I mean just roving bands of Non-Muslims going about exterminating them. I guess it will come when the Muslims murdered all the leftist and the rest of the world is free to do what they want.

Is your problem reading or interpretation, because that wasn't the message at all from the video. Did you even listen to him?

(In regards to be asked about the New York bomb attack)
"I'm not going to speculate who is responsible, I'm not going to speculate as to how the police in New York should react, what I do know is that it is part and parcel of living in a great local city is you've got to be prepared for those things"

They're his exact words when asked about the attack. In my opinion, there aren't many ways to take that. If you live in a big city, prepare for terror attacks.

And in regards to terrorism being societies problem, he states in the video with Bill de blasio that the reason young Muslims are being radicalised is because they aren't being represented in a meaningful way in the police and government. This is lunacy for him to suggest that the reason young Muslims become disenchanted with western life is because they don't see enough politicians or policeman who look like them. No other minority culture in UK history has turned to terror attacks because they don't feel represented. In other words, blaming the rest of society for the flaws of the few.

1. What is controversial about saying that if you live in a big city like NY or London you should be prepared for terror attacks?

2. Regarding the second highlighted text... No, that's not what he said. You're misrepresenting him. You should use his actual quotes. He brought up the point about a "sense of belonging" as a reason why human beings join groups in the first place, and as a way to counter the typical ISIS recruitment tactics of "the West hates you and Islam".

Typical. The "Trivialise a legitimate point when you have no rebuttal" tagline huh. You guys need to get more creative.

London mayor is a cuck. Just like seiger.

 

[IDL]

They are literally trying to make people conformable with mass murder....

Just think.. If people eventually become desensitized and numb to terrorist attacks, then terrorists are going to need to up their game.

I guess that can be taken in different ways. It may reduce the effectiveness and thus appeal of terrorist attacks to begin with, but it's also a sad state to be in and if it causes larger attacks to happen just in order to get through that numbness then that is obviously bad as well.

How nice of, Sadiq Khan, to look out for his people. British people, obviously.

There was a plan to attack Rio during the Olympics. Muslins born in Brazil were involved, inspired by ISIS, but were too stupid and amateurish to accomplish anything. They even tried to buy guns over the internet lol

 

[Pwent]

Terror attacks are just another part of life in the Big City? Fuck this guy. Too bad the brits don't have guns, surely someone would kill that piece of shit.

I would say they should stab him but they all got a life and binned that knife

Even tactical assault butter knifes aren't hard to come by in london

 

[steelcity77]

Every country should ban together and get the message through to these people that they are not wanted.

that would be a start .. but as it stands they're allowing them to become majorities .. someone said london is now majority nonwhite ? lol .. they're literally giving away their white terrorities .. that's how this khan character got elected .. if they keep it up, soon they'll have a muslim pm
