I've never bombed anybody, why should they knife the likes of me?
The Government of your Country did. Tens if not hundreds of thousands have died because we did not stand up to America in the Invasion of Iraq and now we are facing the consequences. The power vacuum we created allowed for the emergence of ISIS. We all now have targets on out backs. What business did we have in Iraq?
The amount of people killed in the West by these Jihadi's nutters is miniscule compared to the amount that have died or try and come here or to other European countries. Where next for us Iraq? Meanwhile our schools and NHS are underfunded.

You are up there with lfc! Congratulations! All we need to know is now they are trying to kill us! How many atrocities in the UK and Europe before the Iraq war? We only had the Christian terrorists to deal with before that!

I think it is rather worrying that the whole character of the nation is being changed by evil small influential groups. (some not so large now). Comrade Bliar pushed the boat out and the politicos are too scared to change it because of the need to garner votes. I cannot see this ending well.
