Dangerous times for who Kirk? Why are they dangerous times?
All those people fleeing Syria are living in dangerous times.
All the none IS supporters living in Syria are living in dangerous times.
I live in London. I don't step out of my door with a weapon in my bag just in case. I don't pass a Muslim on the street and hold my breath and I don't do anything differently now than I did a year ago or the year before that.
Should I feel in danger of suffocation every time I jump onto the crowded tube? or should I be cautious about eating in a middle eastern restaurant just in case they decide to poison me? Should I walk the long way home because the short cut down the alleyway could get me mugged by the local thugs, or should I be watching out for that woman who may be hiding a knife under her hijab with the intention of decapitating me?
I don't ever read right wing papers and so I don't know what am I supposed to be frightened of?
