In my opinion it is just a convenient way to blame all Muslims for the actions of a few dangerous violent radical ones.

I think OM has spouted the biggest load of propaganda in this thread, and Jimmy the Jock has fallen for it. Some radical lunatic has killed 22 innocent victims (including kids) along with himself , and some how the British media are to blame. The only thing they are guilty of, is trying to get to the truth.
The cosecutive Tory and Labour governments have done more than enough over the yrs to cause "social divisions" without the help of terrorists., and try telling the parents of the Manchester fallen that the media "convey the false impression that terrorism is an existential threat to our way of life".
Religious fanatics are a very real threats to our way of life in Britain, and we really should be facing this threat head on, instead of constantly belittling our media, as if they are strapping the bombs to themselves!!
I have my own opinions thanks , of course we should be careful , what happened in Manchester was shocking , should I believe a terrorist is about to dive bomb the millennium stadium during the European finals ? Should I keep away from the beach in case some nutter blows himself and my family up? Should I believe the world is full of crazies or there are a few nutters , well organised nutters who need to be stopped, putting the country into an over the top state of fear isn't going to fix anything .
The U.K. has dropped 1200 bombs on Libya and Iraq since 2004, killing over 1 million civilians. And we wonder why these young men are easily convinced to turn to terrorism.
Mosques I know of in Cardiff ARE open to everyone
Mosques DO have open days and the did publicise it #visitmymosque day was in February this year
Muslims I know ARE MORE than integrated ( btw it works both ways)
They visually condem terrorism and more ( even this last **** in Manchester own mother informed police way before he killed those poor people)
The DO inform on suspected wannabe terrorists
There is more than enough evidence that this happens, YES more could be done but that also works both ways
Can you still get cream soda these days?
We all know the chances of getting caught up in one of these terrorist attacks are minuscule. But Organ Morgan blaming the media for causing widespread panic is a tad over the top. A situation like Manchester is bound to be front page news, with over the top coverage and crazy headlines for a few days. Everyone takes a moment to reflect it could have been them or a member of their family, then we all go about out business in the same manner again.
