Of course it's horrible when they do something, but it needs perspective.

If one takes a proper 'perspective' of Islamist Terrorism then they cannot escape the facts that apart from the carnage wreaked throughout the Middle East and other countries, ISIS have slaughtered over 33,000 people, injured more than 41,000 others and kidnapped more than 11,000 people - and that is only up to 2015.

Jailhouse radicalisation is - like all radicalisation - part of the expansion strategy of this terrorist organisation and it should NOT be dismissed so readily.

ONE nutjob ex-con who is sufficiently radicalised that he commits a murder or bombing after being released is ONE murder or bombing too many and one which COULD have been prevented HAD the authorities taken a proper course of action to stop these jailed Jihadists from spreading their poison.

And not all potentially converted inmates are going to be 'Flagged-Up' to be watched on release.

I have perspective BOTS and that is specifically WHY I believe it is important to not let this issue be 'swept under the carpet' as it has been for years now.

These terrorists will never stop as this statement in 2014 from ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani's to his faithful attests:

"If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State," the Guardian reported he said, "then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be."
