Just to tell you my opinion on something. 9/11 wasn't instigated by Islamists (though it was carried out by them after intense training). It was a CIA/Mossad job which was imperative to then create a reason for invading all the Middle East countries that followed (but ultimately created a mess).People werent scared by the establishment. We were scared because there were bombs going off frequently.
There was no phone warning for the Canary Wharf bomb. I was there and no one was evacuated. You just make facts up to try to justify your personal opinion. The reason it didn't succeed as planned was because the lorry containing explosives was supposed to have been left within the main square in Canary Wharf but they couldn't it in safely so it was left up the road near a DLR station but not near any offices. But it was so big that the pub I was in in the Canary Wharf square was devastated from far away. No one warned anyone at Canary Wharf. The pubs were packed because it was around 5pm on a Friday evening.
"IS on the other hand really are a bunch of mad, random, weed smoking drop outs from society"
Then what are you so concerned about.
Would it be scarier to be constantly attacked by the IRA who were "extremely disciplined, clever and had a very skilled engineering department" rather than someone apparently stoned?
The idea that Jihadists are just society drop outs is true in part in relation to the small number of attacks that have occurred in the UK re knifings on bridges etc but do you think a group of weed smoking drop outs could organise one of the world's biggest and best organised terrorist attacks ever which involved entering the US as visitors on holiday , learning to fly and then taking control and flying airliners into their targets? But your Islamophobia would prefer to not see them as possibly being intelligent and well organised and just would like to portray them as drop outs who smoke weed. 7/7 was also a very clever and well organised attack. But this is unusual in the UK. Most attacks you are right have been badly planned and executed. A well organised engineered IRA army was much scarier.
The job was way too sophisticated for a bunch of ******.
