I mean without coming across as in anyway racist here, are we perhaps just too soft when it comes to immigration here and also are we not far too tolerant of other countries religious beliefs and especially when they are against our own governments with very dangerous individuals who should never have been given the opportunity in the first place to preech to us their disgusting views.
No, "we" are not too tolerant. A lot of immigrants would happily shovel shit for not much money just for the opportunity to live here. As with every race and religion there is bad eggs. For someone who thinks he crusades against censorship, you seem awfully willing to question other people's freedom of speech just because you don't agree with it.

Michael Adebolajo - Whats British about that name exactly.
This is the second time foreigners who have moved to our country and carried out terrorist activitys have been referred to as British. Fucking shameful, the UK has become far too PC when even evil killers are given the PC treatment whilst the dead poor man who had been attacked was truly British through and through.
What makes a person "British through and through"? I'm not defending either of the killers, but Michael Adebolajo is English. He was born here, raised here, educated here and comes from a Christian family.
He is a muslim convert, who converted to a radical form of Islam, which the majority of muslims distance themselves from.
An innocent 75-year old muslim was knifed to death in Birmingham last month, by a white man, for unknown reasons. He had lived and worked in his area for over 40 years, where is the national mourning for that poor, peaceful bloke?
Like I said, I'm not defending the murderers, I don't need to say how shocking and tragic the event was, that's obvious, but everyone around us needs to show some consistency with their outpouring of grief, and if you don't, then don't complain when "others" complain of double standards.
Race and religion shouldn't be the focus. These two, above all, are murderers, and should be tried as such.
This is the first successful terrorist attack in England since 2005, 8 years, some countries don't go 8 days without multiple killings. Things are not as bad as they seem. I would easily walk through that part of London tomorrow if I had to, because that was just one rare isolated incident by two mentally unstable people.
