[A new propaganda video purported to be from al-Shabab has urged Muslims to attack shopping centres in London.]

While all the focus is in London they could attack elsewhere in the UK, no point worrying about it

Yes this was my first thought actually...

Its a strange mindset to get into, but if I was planning on causing mass chaos, I would threaten london and hit elsewhere :S

Yes that's right but remember if they blowed up a shopping mall in Swindon the news abroad would treat it as minor incident.

All those people you see jumping up and down in various countries burning flags etc. after an atrocity have heard of London but not Swindon.

That's why although I agree that security will be non-existent elsewhere so that's the place to bomb London will always be the preferred target.

[Udanax]

I don't think I'll be going shopping in London tomorow..

[JoshBB]

Scum of the earth, even if they don't blow anything up it is people like them responsible for rising islamophobia.

Well I will be out and about in London tomorrow. I refuse to let these monsters win with their threats of terror. I was raised through the IRA bombings, I'm sure I can get through this.

I tend to look at it this way: you are far more likely to be killed in a road incident (nation wide OR in any given major city) on any day of the year than you are to be killed in a terrorist incident. But, do we sit in crippling fear when we see "Greatest Road Smash Disasters 27" on Channel 5? Do our hands tremble every time we reach for our car doorhandles? No... we know there is risk, but we get on with our day.

It's scary when you think about the ins and outs of it all - bloodthirsty people actively trying to kill - of course it is. But if you remove that element and think of it purely in terms of actual mathematical risk, then we take bigger risks every single day and we don't live in fear of them. Trying our best to view it like that, and to not let it affect our lives in any way, is the only way to combat it. The goal is fear. The goal of terrorists, the goal of many politicians, the goal of every creditor who sends a threatening letter your way... it's all the same thing. Fear = compliance. Don't give it to them, not ever.

We all leave our homes every day with various risk factors that mean we might not come home. Might be hit by a car, might crash our own car, might slip on ice and die of a head injury, might have a brain aneurism or a heart attack... might be killed in a terrorist incident. The last of those is the least likely by far and yet it's the one that has people the most scared.

When "your thing" happens, it happens. That's the only way to live without driving yourself insane with anxiety.

Brilliantly put and 100% true. (Be very careful T.S we might end up on the same team )

[Kizzy]

Don't give them ideas!... :/

[Jamesy]

This is just purely made to scare people. No point in anyone in London or the rest of the UK worrying really, you cannot do anything about it and at the end of the day we have outstanding anti-terrorist divisions in the UK who have prevented many major terrorist attacks from happening. The fact that this video has surfaced will mean security will step up in and around London as well as the rest of the UK anyway (if this video is found to be authentic of course).

They're reading the Quran wrong. It never said to kill people of other religions. Fanatic murderes.

Eternal vigilence is the price of safety.

[Helen 28]

Defence of the Realm is the first duty of the Government, everything else comes later.

So although statistically being knocked over by a car is more likely than being blown up by a terrorist at the moment the Government has to take threats seriously.

If they said no need to worry we don't think anything will happen so we aren't putting any extra security in place and then a shopping centre is blown up there would be uproar.

Taking no notice of real and specific threats would not go down well with the public once an atrocity has occurred.

[Livia]

I think, taking into account our laws and restrictions, we are as well-protected in this country as anywhere in the world and a lot better protected that most. I have great faith in our security services, and while they can't stop every attack, they stop more than any of us will ever know.

[arista]

"no way of stopping it."

But we can have undercover Armed officers
in every mall
they can shoot the Trench coat AK47 Killers in the head
