    About 1,600 a young British Muslims are under constant surveillance by MI5 and the police, including around-the-clock highly sophisticated eavesdropping (in the assumption that pre-emptive action is better than waiting for terrorism to happen).

    Is this common knowledge in GB? Ever hear of racial profiling?

    On the other hand, some of them are kawaii and talented.

    OMG, kawaii and talented used in the same sentence to describe, AKB?

    Be nice if these "hatches" were available all throughout the country and better advertised too! Might save a few unnecessary infanticides.

    I do not understand the morbid curiosity that the people passing by had in wanting to see or take pictures, invited or otherwise.

    I do believe I would be off and running in the opposite direction. Did they not fear for their own lives?

    For a tourist that is......and I am happy that it is so for you and yours. Personally speaking, it sucks royally.

    That's why they attacked a soldier. That is of course assuming what the killers said was true but we don't know anything about their background as of now.

    And we also do not know if they knew he was a soldier either. That is based upon an assumption. But the two could very well be one and the same, a revenge attack and terror attack as well.

    This was a revenge attack, pure and simple, just like in war.

    But how can you differentiate between the two? The attacks on the twin towers were an act of revenge and terror as well. The same could be said here too.

    Not true. If a religion wants to replace secular law with religious law and re-create the society that its founder created, it is absolutely political.

    Religion wants to replace nothing. It's peoples interpretation of "religion" that causes the problems.

    If religion were so bad then pray tell why are the overwhelming majority of the followers of Islam so very peaceful and similarly outraged that others in the name of "their" religion are terrorists? It's the same "religion", just different interpretations made by man.

    You really should make broad generalizations like that.

    I do believe you meant to say "shouldn't" correct? I do believe that you should learn to separate religion and how people interpret it to mean.

    Religion does not kill people, religion does not maim people. Simply put religion is a belief in or worship of God, religions are bastardized by man and an individuals interpretation of it. That is not a generalization, that is a fact.

    When religions are political, they are the problem. What is the difference between a radical ideology and a radical religion anyway? Both are belief systems. And people act on their beliefs.

    No religion is political.

    People are the problem.

    Two men stalked an unarmed plain-clothes British soldier (I assume anyway as he was wearing a T-shirt and to the best of my knowledge even soldiers aren't permitted to go about armed off base)

    First off, what difference does wearing a T-shirt matter? I don't follow your trend of though how what he may have been wearing matters? And armed or otherwise, what does that matter either?

    Do you actually think there is any comparison here?

    Yes, based only on what the article had written and not on any of the following information, it was an indiscriminate act of violence. The point is to spread fear and terror, and that is what terrorists aim for, whether it be targeted against a child or member of the military.

    Your attempt to make a bizarre statement on the equality of human life and death sounds very much like a justification of a senseless and brutal murder.

    Not at all, and while it will sound so very cold and heartless I suppose, what makes this soldiers death any more important or significant than any of the hundreds of thousands of others that have died in the so-called name of God?

    They are all shocking and all should be as well. Or do you view this soldiers death more meaningful or important than any of the other innocents that die because of terrorists?

    You don't understand the amount of pride that we have in our soldiers. We are proud of our boys and girls who serve in the British Armed Forces.So the thought that people would kill one of our soldiers outside his barracks is disgusting to us.

    Maybe I don't, yet, don't misunderstand me here, British soldiers are targets for these fanatics, just as much as Americans or other "western" military personal, and all those countries have pride in their men and women in uniform just as much, and maybe more, than the Brits have for their own.

    It's disgusting no matter the place and I pray that his soul rests in peace.

    I find the opposite is true in Japan.

    Hence my remarks, I agree to a point, yet if more visit Japan, it will help dispel many of the misconceptions and their views of people from around the world.

    I will never forget the effect of seeing children interact with some foreign visitors that they met on the street, a chance encounter, it was something that will stay in their minds (hopefully) for a long time. They took pictures together and tried communicating with each other with the help of dictionaries and gestures and broken Japanese and English. But it was fun to watch, and a great experience for everyone involved.

    To think that a British soldier could be killed on British soil by extremists is shocking.

    As opposed to a child being killed by an indiscriminate bomb or bullet somewhere else in the world? I don't understand the "shock" just because he was a British soldier.

    Terror attacks are terror attacks no matter where they occur. And all should be "shocking" in my opinion.

    Typical Japanese "talento" and "celeb" apology routine. Heck if politicians can get away with it and not face any consequences why should she? What she does in the privacy of her bedroom is her business and between her and her husband.

    Whatever.....

    I saw this on the news last night and one thing stuck out about this story from the news report; the guy hit this girl in the back of the head with an aluminum bat and she was hospitalized with minor injuries, with an expected stay of about two weeks.

    Now then, knowing a bit about Japanese hospitals and how they keep people in quite a bit longer than "other" countries, like one week to ten days for having tonsils taken out, the injuries dont seem to be that severe. (Thankfully so...)

    An 18 year old, young man, swinging an aluminum bat, and all she got was a lump on the noggin'? Ok while it may be more than that, but from the news reports it wasnt too bad. ( Again, thankfully so.....)

    She was lucky, and I am glad to hear she will be alright! But this dude is a wimp and thank God it wasnt worse.

    He needs some serious talking to, like with a bat maybe?

    This is nice to see, in spite of all the crap that politicians spout about "foreigners" in Japan, the more that visit, will hopefully help people here learn more about the world around them.

    Japan owes these people a big thanks for coming here!

    Tanaka said it was up to the operator to decide what to do with the reactor, since the watchdog does not have the authority to order that it be decommissioned.

    So, give the "watchdog" group the authority! What are they waiting for.....oh right...kickbacks!
