On that note, I'm going to work.

Compassion for what? Most intelligent people know that not all muslims are terrorists, just like all football fans aren't hooligans, or all English people support the EDL, where the problem lies is that people can't accept that we can use the word Muslim terrorist and that we should dress it up as Daesh or something else

It doesn't matter what the percentage it, it is a fact that a percentage carry out terror attacks, the IRA were a small percentage of the Irish population it doesn't make their crimes any less, also I have seen numerous posters refer to extremists rather than the general population

That's not anti British or an exaggeration, it's a fact...an uncomfortable one but a fact nevertheless.

That's not the point, the point is we were able to call them what they were, nobody tried to deny they were Irish terrorists in case we offended the other 99 per cent of the population
