Actually ISIS depends on the radicalisation of young and impressionable Muslims to build up its fighting force. And what better way to radicalise them than to drop bombs on their families, homes and cities.
As someone mentioned on another thread, Ireland is a great demonstration of the pointlessness of these tit-for-tat atrocities which only serve to create further hatred and an unquenchable appetite for violent revenge. At the risk of being boring, I say again that we need to establish who is supplying ISIS with training, weapons and ongoing logistical support, and take measures to totally isolate them from the rest of the world.
I recall some posters taking exception to George Osborne being referred to as "Gideon" on some threads. And yet it seems it is perfectly OK to refer to Jeremy Corbyn as "a twerp", "a disgrace" and "a fool". Everyone is entitled to their opinion but that is just personal abuse.
