I just walked out of the room when the news was on, because I was getting too angry at what's happening in the world.
The total [insert rudest words you know] who caused this will get legal representation at the tax payers expense, and probably get let off on a technicality.
I can't think of anything to write that isn't going to get me banned from the board for inciting racial hatred.

This is the kind of sweeping generalising that throws fuel on the fire.
NOT the followers of Islam...
SOME followers of Islam.
As a young Catholic child in Glasgow I had to run past the Protestent school every day. If I didn't... the [picka word} would catch me.
My father took me to join the Cubs... in the Protestant school... all went well... was playing with the other cubs... making friendships... till the leader asked me what school I went to... When I mentioned the Catholic school they turned white and said I had to leave.
A few years ago... a man was murdered as he walked past a pub on a match day... because he was wearing the "Catholic" team colours, he had his throat slit.
All of the examples above are because of a person being lumped with a religious group.
Come on people... PLEASE... we are ALL individuals, black, white, christian, moslem, agnostic, even the Americans. Please... choose language carefully to identify the people who are really guilty here... those who are selling a VERSION of Islam that contradicts what mainstream believers believe, those who are brainwashing impressionable young people to turn to their ways... and yes... those of us who through ignorance.. throw fuel on the fire that pushes otherwise reasonable people in that direction.
Evbery human has a right to their opinion and I will fight for their right to express it... but please... think about impact first.
