Stastics are frequently subjective, in fact I would go as far as to say that statistics are invariably subjective, particularly when they are presented completely out of context.

More Smoke and mirrors, the subject of the thread is The Prevent strategy, The current threat level to the UK from international terrorism is severe. The most significant international terrorism threat to the UK remains violent extremism associated with and influenced by Al Qaeda. http://www.homeoff...

More smoke and mirrors, you omitted the fact that the threat of terrorism in Great Britain from NI is Substantial, the grade below Severe, The threat to the UK from Islamic Extremism is Severe. Terrorism, definition: The unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of p...

As I keep telling you, the terrorist threat to the UK comes from wider circles than just NI, and manifests itself in many forms other than just bombs. You claim to be an actuary, do you use single sources of information and selective information within those sources when you evaluate risk? Heaven fo...

But, you are forgetting a simple point - I'm not asking anyone to believe me, just to provide the statistics that show that Muslim terrorists in the UK are a greater threat than the non-Muslim terrorists in the UK who did launch 99 actual attacks/bombs. Simple. Cheers, Shafique I'm not interested i...

Dillon

Given the fact there were 99 actual terrorist acts in the UK by non-Muslims, I would have thought it was quite legitimate to ask how many more were carried out by Muslim terrorists in the UK during the same period. But I haven't been able to comment on that, because the number hasn't been forthcomi...

“There are lies, damned lies and statistics” :lol: and surprisingly, still today: The current threat level to the UK from international terrorism is severe.

It was my turn for dinner yesterday, so while looking for inspiration I found this Pork meatball stuffed with prunes, apple and port recipe; http://www.newscancook.com/recipes/pork-meat-balls-with-prunes/ I had some Wicks Manor pork & apple burgers in the freezer I bought some time ago so I chea...

If the whole of the UK lived in NI, the advice from the Home Office would be different, sadly for your stats, it doesn't! Your argument is flawed on so many levels.

Dillon

Your argument has been nothing of the sort and the previous 5 pages clearly show this. Again this thread is about the UK and it’s anti terrorist ‘prevent policy’, it has nothing to do with the EU, the USA or NI specifically, I suggest again as I did yesterday, you should start a new thread and see h...

Again this thread is about the UK and it’s anti terrorist ‘prevent policy’, it has nothing to do with your sideline arguments, I suggest again, you should start a new thread and see how much interest you can generate when applying your analogy to irrelevant statistics.

Dillon

The statistics you are using are irrelevant in the analogy you are attempting to project, please don’t try and move the goalposts to a discussion on the English language, you will lose that one as well. :wink: As I have said on many occasions, 99 bombs in NI don’t have the same threat to the UK as t...

I don't have potato starch so I improvised with an equal amount of Cornflour, I think you would know it as Corn Starch, but I guess any binding agent would do?

shafique wrote:Yes, the universal threat is 'very low' for individuals in the UK according to the HO

Which is a good thing, it clearly shown the HO is doing a sterling job, and the fact remains that Islamic Extremism remains the biggest terrorist threat to the UK. no spin, simple fact.

Dillon

Interesting belief there. For me though - 99 actual terrorist attacks from non-Muslims in the UK last year seems to be a bigger threat than the 0 (?) from Muslims, but hey - each is entitled to their 'analysis'. ;) On the re-vamped policy - whilst I agree with the overall aim, I'm not too sure abou...

I think it is Jamie Oliver who adds whisked egg whites to his batter, I've never tried conrnflower but I have added a little Baking powder on the odd occasion just to help them along you understand. :oops: I remember in earlier days, anyone returning to the UK on a leave cycle, always returned with ...

Dillon

You mean the 99 terror attacks in NI of course?

It is in some parts Bora, sadly!!

And here's me shooting my mouth off in an English language contest

Closet porkers? there are quite a few closet porkers I know of in Dubai who are partial to a little pork sausage I can tell you

Dillon

The UK is made up of several Countries Shaf, each governed by varying degrees of independence from Central Government, some even have their own independent Anti-Terrorist office, could you be more specific as to which Country these 99 attacks you keep referring to took place, were they spread evenly...

Dillon

I couldn't possibly claim that Bora, that would be racist!

Dillon

And the breakdown of the number of bombs in each Country would be again?

you want to know what moral decay is? well at least from my point of view, men allowing their women to strip naked in front of strange men and rubbing their flesh against a complete stranger for a few dollars, men allowing there women to do p<3n for people to watch, so in general it is the exploiti...

I got a haircut recently and the fellow cutting my hair revealed he was Syrian, I said terrible things happening over there at the moment, he looked surprised and said Naaaaah it's nothing, I speak with my family all over Syria and they say there's no problem!

Dillon

I’ll write a letter to Jonathan Evans, DG at MI5 and see if he can help you with the stats you need for your personal evaluation of the current terrorist threat to the UK Shaf, no thanks necessary, I’ll post the response here on DF when I get it for all to see.

Dillon

Wow, a busy thread last night! Shaf wrote: A simple, 'I'm embarrassed to give you the equivalent number of actual terrorist attacks by Muslims in the same period' would have sufficed. But if you do get the stats from MI5, let me know. Ooh :shock: I seriously doubt you’ll ever get such a statement fr...

2-0 and counting. Somali police have said Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, one of Africa's most wanted al-Qaeda operative, was killed in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital city, earlier this week. http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/06/201161114242764251.html-- Sun Jun 12, 2011 12:21 pm --:lol: :lol: :l...
