Yes, we know, everyone is very sad. Everyone should change their Facebook profile pictures. Other countries should light buildings up in the colors of the union jack, and we should all light a candle.

Or people can discuss the root cause of this attack. People like me and Cancerous are sick to death of seeing attacks like this happen and then watching as everyone scrambles around pretending that they don't know why it happened.

So excuse us for wanting to increase the discussion around this and hopefully convince people that this kind of stuff doesn't have to happen if people would just talk more openly about the issue and weren't accused or accusing others of being racist, or voting for UKIP.
It isn't racist to say that extremist Islamic ideology caused this, and people can be against things like increased immigration, or the idea that criticizing Islam makes you Islamophobic, without voting for UKIP.

Well if you want to blame extremist islamic ideology. We also have to blame the source behind that ideology. Want to guess who that is? USA,Saudi,Qatar,Israel & etc. Why do we jump and blame Islam. How about we blame the people funding these terrorist? Didn't Donald Trump say Saudi Arabia was behind 9/11? But now here we are visiting them & signing an arms deal......

Global politics certainly plays a part in the fundamentalism of these people, but it is by no means the root cause.
Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest exporters of Wahhabi Islam to other countries. This is the version of Islam that ISIS ascribes to.
The countries in which this practice is most popular are also the countries in which there is the most support for terrorist groups, and this ideology doesn't come from people sat in a room looking over the geopolitical landscape and their interactions with other nations, it comes from Mosques all over the Middle East and North Africa preaching from the Quran and the Hadith.

You don't have to take my word for this though. There is a magazine you can download called Dabiq, and it takes us through step by step why groups like ISIS do what they do. The most important thing about this magazine though is that it isn't someone's interpretation of what ISIS is doing and their motivations it is published by ISIS themselves. It is written by ISIS members, edited by ISIS members and published by ISIS members and it explains in detail why they hate the west and the reasons are not geopolitical, they are religious.

Well listen we can save all the extra disagreements for another day. Someone asked what we can do right? Here is my take.

How about we stop funding these terrorist. We can start by cutting all ties with Saudi Arabia because they are the biggest sponsor of terrorism, but that will never happen, i was hoping trump would but i am coming to my senses that he is just another candidate who lied and fell through with what he said he was going to do. We are so worried about human rights abuses in other countries like for example Syria... But what about Saudi? Why don't we put sanctions on them? I already know the answer.
We can also start by putting America first like our president said. We can stay out of foreign affairs which just increases all problems.

We should STOP giving these terrorist money, stop TRAINING these terrorist & cut all ties with countries that do the same. I am starting to think we have placed sanctions on the wrong countries. I Don't see North Korea or Iran giving aid to these radicals...

Point is if we and our allies mind our business and cut all ties with these extremist and their supporters we will stop giving them a backbone and they will quickly die out and as they die out the refugees/immigrants will return to their countries and we wont have to worry about the bad guys coming in as much. This is all a outcome of War& funding the wrong people. I know everyone is tired of hearing of events such as this happening, and its been happening for years and it happens everyday in the middle east. What do you suggest we can do now that you have my a hint of my point of view?

26 year old John Atkinson named as third victim of Manchester attack


RIP

Thoughts with his family and friends

Shocking incident. I live in Nottingham, about 90 minutes - 2 hours away but have visited Manchester quite frequently.

Spent the entire night watching the News hoping it wasn't a terror attack but an awful accident.

In recent times, the attacks the UK has been a victim of have generally been stabbings or vehicular slaughter as seen in London. A Bombing on this scale is horrific. Nothing this severe has occurred since the attacks in London in 2007.

How has the individual responsible gone mostly unnoticed to security services? How has he managed to build a nail bomb/device?.

---

The one thing that has injected humanity back into the entire incident is the massive reaction within Manchester to assist, and further afield. People offering their homes to the scared and injured, for a drink and safety. Taxi's and Public Transport giving free journeys to everyone in the area to get them out. The vast majority of off duty Police Officers, Medical Staff, all reporting in and doing their best to assist.

It's been a horrible 18 hours since the attack took place but it's heart warming seeing the support being given to victims, families and everyone.

Its just going to keep happening unless we take control.

If so, has anyone heard from them?


Just want to check to make sure all of you are OK

Such a cowardly act and a waste of innocence.


May all that were affected by this find peace.

Operation Temperer has been initiated by the PM. Terror Level raised from Severe to Critical, meaning another attack is imminent or highly likely.

Operation Temperer was created following the attacks in Paris in 2015/16. The main objective of the operation is to enable the Government to call upon the Armed Forces to deploy around 5,000 military personal onto the streets of the UK to assist the Police.
