]Right wing terrorism is on the rise in Europe and now accounts for nearly more acts of terrorism than your average ISIS follower

Where do you get that from? According to this Europol report, while separatists still account for the majority of terrorism, Jihadist attacks in the EU increased sharply from one in 2014 to 17 in 2015. Right-wing attacks only increased to nine, still less than the 13 by left wingers. More to the point, the Jihadist attacks were by far the largest in scale. Of the 151 deaths due to terrorist attacks, 150 were as a result of Jihadist attacks.

Can't find stats for 2016 but none of the incidents in the news suggest a major swing to right wing terrorism. May be the odd nut like Thomas Mair but no evidence of coordinated mass attacks, like those by Jihadists in Paris, by the right wing in Europe. That certainly is not true of Islamist groups, all government warnings are about the threat from those sympathetic to IS.

In Europe the number of terrorist attacks is fortunately still far less than in some countries. The top ten are Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nigeria, Egypt, Philippines, Bangladesh, Libya and Syria. The threat facing most of those is from Islamic extremism.

BTW, ISIS are right wing terrorists. They do not believe in any socialist ideals. They want to rid the world of anyone who disagrees with them, based on the colour of the person's skin or their religion.
Just because their right wing ideologies do not align with BNP/BF/UKIP/Trump does not make them any different.

Just to start, there's plenty more out there and I'm only talking about Europe (and maybe a bit of USA)....

[woohoo]

listen to yourself
In any mass of people there will be some bad uns.
FfS.
It disappoints me when the few people I like on this forum turn out to be cretins.
I'm guessing Nat banned whoever because he got completely irritated by the complete lack of intelligence.

Yep anyone that doesn't agree with you is a cretin, way to shut down the discussion.

[woohoo]

This board ain't free so no free speech.

Well CUK isn't as bad as the guardian for moderating comments.

Careful, you could get banned for daring to suggest that the entirety l of Merkel's new friends aren't a great asset to Europe, such is the standard of moderation on this board these days.

I love the thank/like buttons. It makes it easier to spot who to watch

What price freedom of speech?

Freedom of speech is always limited. But you've not been banned yet. You have freedom. Don't use it for evil.

Nah - it was for posing stupid loaded questions in order to stir up trouble, and at the same time - deliberately or not - promote a rather less than tolerant point of view. But the dullards of this forum just produce the usual neanderthal gruntings "uh - no free speech" "uh - banned for tellin' the truth".

Sounds a bit like the Trumpets...
So far since they won, the "we don't need safe spaces" party has boycotted a play, a cereal brand and a movie for being mean.

Aaaaah! So any terrorist group, regardless of their motivation, is right wing unless they believe in socialism! Thanks for that insight!

NAT you got called out, you made a mistake in banning DA. Let it go now and stop trying to justify your daft decision. Move on.
