As a victim of terrorism myself, when the terrorists strike as they have done in Paris, my first thoughts are for the victims, their families and friends.
After that of course we begin to think more deeply about the factors behind the outrages.
We should not discount the existence in all societies of a tiny minority of mentally ill, psychopathic individuals seeking notoriety by committing particularly foul crimes.
When such people live in minority communities harbouring resentment and grudges against the mainstream society, there is a natural seed bed for the cultivation of the grapes of wrath.
Mr Farage put that more bluntly with his comments about fifth columns within multicultural societies. That is, groups within minority cultural groups who work for the overthrow of the broader society in which they live. Or once again as Mr Farage put it: "people living in these countries (Britain and France) holding our passports who hates us." » | Norman Tebbit | Friday, January 09, 2015
