ORIGINAL: Ron.M We've never had a Terrorist attack here in Scotland, not even when the IRA were active, so this really is significant to the Scottish phsyche. What about Lockerbie ? I was there a few years back for my cousins wedding. They are never going to forget it. There are still scarred fields and people. The village has a high rate of alcoholism and suicide. The bodies were left lying there for days. 8 seconds after the explosion, wreckage had a 1-nautical-mile (2 km) spread. A minute later, the wing section containing 200,000 lb (91,000 kg) of fuel hit the ground at Sherwood Crescent, Lockerbie. The British Geological Survey at Eskdalemuir, just outside Lockerbie, registered a seismic event measuring 1.6 on the Richter scale as all trace of two families, several houses, and the 196 ft (60 m) wing of the aircraft disappeared.

ORIGINAL: Bogdan1980 They live there in the desert and then they gonna come to Europe with their car bombs, and ruin the history, architecture, culture, people's lives. There are many European muslims, British, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italians, Irish etc who have lived here peacefully for generations as well as new arrivals and christian converts. They have not just arrived from the desert on camels. In Granada the Muslim academics have worked hard alongside the Spanish to ensure many of the great Muslim and Mudejar monuments are conserved and that our history and culture, which is intertwined, is respected. The majority of European Muslims are not extremists never mind terrorists. http://www.gallupworldpoll.com/content/?ci=27325 If we jump into this way of thinking they are winning, turning us against each other and resorting to an 'us and them' mentality. I have many Arab friends here in Spain and we all marched together against the war in Iraq and to protest at the Madrid bombings. I tend to agree with JB that anyone who plans and commits acts of violence and terror is mentally deficient, including various politicians I could mention. War is not the answer Kate
