Or is it just coincidence that a crazed lunatic cut someones head off in Britain, the ISIS decapitator is British, ISIS recently released a beheading in which they named the next victim will be a British journalist.
Too many coincidences, if not an ISIS member than a nutjob that a British ISIS sleeper instigated.
One line of inquiry for detectives is now understood to be whether the man had been inspired by recent footage of the Isil beheadings of two US journalists in Syria.
Locals last night claimed the arrested man had converted to Islam last year.

I try to reserve comment on cases like this until at least some of the 'facts' have been disclosed but.....
Tommy Robinson is alleging that 'locals said the man converted to Islam last year'.

Part of the issue is QSIS etc making it appear 'okay' for such atrocities in the name of whichever 'cause', it affects the psychology of people in various ways.
To the normal, civilized being that adheres to Western culture it is abhorrent and rightly so.
To those of other cultures where such acts are part of their 'laws' to their minds it could be seen as part of their 'culture' back where they originated from.
To the unhinged or those affected by drugs the psychological implications could be that of setting off psychotic episodes.
To the malicious, psychopathic or those of violent tendencies, it could in their minds be seen as an excuse for violence.
The government needs to do more for assessing and locking away such crazy people. Close the doors to immigration also.

to stop crimes like this we need to address the failure of 'care in the community' because at least 7 times out of 10, the community doesn't care... .

Radical Muslims care, they search out people like this then attend to their needs till their services are required.

There are too many crazy people in the UK already, those claiming asylum aren't checked for stability and they don't appear holding mental health statements. They are an unknown quantity and the stats are showing that immigrants or the offspring of from certain cultures are more inclined to terrorism than those of the established Western culture.

Oh, good lord. Here we go.
Although the conspiracy angle is exciting stuff, perhaps we should try - just this once - to evaluate this grim story on it's facts alone.
Anyone up for that?

Same could be said of any sectarian group...actually the same could be said of national militaries. What's good for the goose, after all. That's why I said that disillusionment in general is the problem, works on all levels. I simply do not see this as being a case of Islamic Radicalism in particular, or even accounting for that, it being the primary mover. Apart from anything else, I'm just not that easily scared by 'difference' and know, in this country, that for every radical there are at least 100 moderates.

Thing is we do not know yet.
BUT it has been all over the news and god knows what goes on in a mentally ill persons head, he may have been on ATS to much or watched the video and got a crazy idea which appears normal to him.

I think it is like a copycat murder...the guy must have seen everything in the news recently and decided to do it.
I don't think he has been radicalized or been told to do this by anyone.
