    zichi: I think the causes run deep and its difficult to pin point any one aspect but young blacks in Britain suffer from too much police profiling. They have lower expectations, more long term unemployment, lower quality housing. All that builds up into hate, hate of authority, hate of the establishment. Maybe the radical and extreme ideas of Islam provided an outlet for their hatred?

    I don't think you can focus on just one country. This is a problem in dozens of countries. It's fair to find a link between how a person starts out and how they end up in radical Islam, but I'm guessing it's bigger than growing up in certain parts of the UK. Young men are turning radical all over the world and we need to find out why.

    Open Minded: Really awful, 50 collateral deaths - including children - for one target, while officially not in war. This has resulted in 3,000 deaths for 60 objectives as we speak. Shocking, isn't it? How do you expect there will be none getting mad about that?

    People get mad, but not many try to cut off the head of a stranger, then ask people to record a message while the stand in the street with bloody hands. But if you can understand that, so be it.

    oikawa: The fact could still remain though that that was the reason in this case for the murder. Whether that is the case or not is one matter, and it's quite another to say that that can't be the reason purely because you think they are madmen.

    I'm still skeptical as how much credibility you want to give to the words of someone who is clearly insane. Perhaps it fits your worldview?

    "This was not just an attack on Britain, and on the British way of life, it was also a betrayal of Islam and of the Muslim communities who give so much to this country. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act," he said.

    Hey thanks for the lesson on Islam.

    oikawa, I believe they believe what they are saying, but they are not rational human beings. I asked if he was a typical Muslim for a reason: Either he is which means any Muslim can snap at any time and kill, or he isn't which means he's not like the rest and is out of touch with everyone/everything else. Personally, I think he was pushed over the edge by radical Islam and my proof is that he just tried to cut someone's head off with a meat cleaver. He's not typical at all, and attaching some kind of logic to his actions just doesn't make sense to me.

    Over a billion other Muslims have seen the same evidence that he has and they haven't killed anyone. He is not like the rest and he shouldn't be judged like he's got legitimate reasons to be clearly insane.

    kurisupisu: According to eye-witness Mrs Loyau-Kennett One of the killers responded to her questions by stating 'I killed him because he killed Muslims and I am fed up with people killing Muslims in Afghanistan they have nothing to do there.”

    So is he a typical Muslim?

    Seems pretty obvious the IRS did something wrong, but you'd have to be clueless to want me to believe that the President ordered a "targeting" of 75 groups out of thousands. It's just illogical.

    And it makes complete sense that these guys could have used those search words to make their jobs easier. People keep asking why they didn't "target" other groups, but I'd like to know exactly what keywords they would have used. "Tea Party" is an obvious one, there are no obvious ones on the left. If you don't agree then tell me what search words you would use.

    As for the AP, may I ask if the DOJ used any techniques made legal under Bush?

    There's no reason to shoot him unless he's being a threat. I'm sure they wanted to get information from him.

    The Islam practiced by a majority of the world isn't the problem, but the radical Islam used by terrorists certainly is. I do want to remind people who love to point to foreign policy that a vast majority of Muslims who are killed by terrorists are other Muslims. People seem to want to pick and choose their reasons and justifications like a cafeteria.

    kurispisu: The upshot of this is that the English (people)should question exactly why Iraq,Afganistan and Libya were invaded and why people are still dying on a regular basis.

    If a Brit went to Saudi Arabia and starting killing people and he says it's because he is sick of injustices by Muslims, would you recommend that they start to get introspective?

    Sick. These people aren't fighting for a cause, they are brainwashed murderers doing someone else's bidding.

    We need to start taking a look at all of Bush's appointments. Democrats have every right to be angry about this.

    sailwind: Currently, Americans say by a 56 to 35% margin that they prefer a smaller government providing fewer services than a bigger one

    Pure smokes and mirrors. I'm in that 55%. But to think I'll support Republican plans on how to go about it is where the insanity comes into play. We should be able to sit down and have some compromise, not threats from Republicans about pushing the US over a fiscal cliff in order to extract concessions. They are reckless.

    Here's what they don't get: Once they go down the path of radicalizing their base they cannot go back.

    Look at Benghazi. We've had 8 months of hearings and investigations that haven't provided anything close to the "what if" scenarios that Republicans have been trying to sell to the American public. They have sold their base on some BS promise that the dictator did something wrong and that he doesn't care about 4 deaths. With that position hanging over their heads, they must now continue to follow through or face backlash from their own party. They are trapped. The hearings continue because no Republican will go on record saying it's time to move on even if the rest of America has.

    Same with the budget issues. They are in a position now where they must have a total cave-in by Obama as their minimum requirement. They've convinced their base that the deficit is all Obama's fault (he loves to spend...) and now they are trapped by it. Any Republican who speaks out for compromise will find a big knife in his back courtesy of the Tea Party and nutters like Grover Nordquist. When a Republican goes into a meeting he has a noose around his neck.

    Getting "primaried" is a real fear for Republicans now. They are afraid of their own base. When going up against other Republicans, being called out for not being ultra conservative is the best way to lose an election. They all run to the far right as fast as possible to try to beat the other guy. In that process, they say outlandish things, and if they win and go to Washington, they can't back down since that's what got them elected.

    In the meantime, we're seeing things like stricter abortion laws from Republicans. It's just astounding that they are still spending time on this 40 years after Roe v. Wade. Again, this is all to please their radicalized base even if it slaps the Supreme Court in the face. They have voted to repeal Obamacare nearly 40 times. To the rest of the world it's an utter and complete waste of time, but it serves as mental masturbation for their base against the socialist. Another trap has been set. The lawmakers who have called for votes in the past is unable to stop calling them in the future for fear of what the party or supporters will do to him. Republicans now refuse to vote on many Obama appointees. Why? They tell their base they are trying to stop the liberal agenda. Can they turn back after saying that? Nope.

    So we're going to have this continue until Obama is finally out of office. Republicans can't build Obama up as a socialist dictator, then say that they've agreed to something a socialist dictator is doing. Their base requires a fight or obstruction on everything Obama does because they actually believe his is some kind of evil that is out to destroy America.

    What you guys don't get is that you don't have a message that resonates with anyone outside of your own party, and you're so obviously driven by a personal dislike for the man that your comments are received with a healthy dose of skepticism. I think more and more Americans are checking out of the Republican message because they can see the pure anger behind it.

    Despite all of your efforts, Obama still has good ratings while the Republican opposition is in the dumps. But you keep doing the same things over and over again. You just seem utterly shocked that everyone doesn't hate him, and instead of looking at yourself you try to tell everyone else that we're the crazy ones. We're 5-6 years into this thing and you're still trying to convince everyone that he's a socialist radical hell bent on destroying America? Do you think you're about to turn the corner of something?

    You are so radicalized that simply agreeing with the man is considered a sin in Republican circles. Your best shot at the White House, Chris Christie, was literally shunned when he said Obama did a good job after Superstorm Sandy. Some Republicans hated him for it. You guys have become absolute fundamentalists where any kind of compromise is out of the question, and the only thing you will accept are agreements where you can make Obama look bad. You need that humiliation. You keep trotting out the crazies like Palin and Santorum and Huckabee and have no clue as to how out of touch they seem in the new America. Your party is completely blind. Your only hope is obstructionism to increase disenfranchisement with government to lower voter turnout. That's your only plan.
