Terrorism in the UK More than Trebles in Five Years
Daily Mail ^ | 3/4/17

Posted on 03/05/2017 4:39:52 PM PST by DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis

A major new study has revealed terror attacks in the UK have more than tripled in the last five years.

The shocking report also reveals that Islamist-related offences have doubled in the last five years, while the rate of beheadings and stabbings has increased eleven-fold.

London and Birmingham have been identified as housing the most offenders, with East London home to half of London-based offenders (22 per cent overall), the most common boroughs being Tower Hamlets, Newham and Waltham Forest.

The study identifies all Islamism-inspired terrorism convictions and suicide attacks in the UK between 1998 and 2015.

The 1,000-pg report, published by the Hannah Stuart and the Henry Jackson Society, says Islamism-inspired terrorism remains the principal terrorism threat to both the United Kingdom and the British interests overseas.

London was the place of residence at the time of arrest in 43 per cent of Islamism-related offences.

> the rate of beheadings and stabbings has increased <

The rate of beheadings??? Who would have dreamed 50 years ago that such a measurement would ever be used in Britain? Now it’s presented as just another piece of social data.

Insanity.

It is obviously due to evil conservative math.

For us, 3 x X = 3X.

For libs, when dealing with MUSLIM crime, 3 x X = X/3.

And so goes the lib art “eddicashun”.

You have been understandably misled by the rather sloppy writing, and particularly the odd use of 'rate'. There has been only one beheading - the notorious street murder of Lee Rigby. In fact most of the cases covered in this report are planned attacks or conspiracies which were discovered before they happened.

What the article doesn't convey is the pretty good record of the British police and MI5 in preventing planned Islamic terrorist attacks. In fact the Rigby killing has been the only 'successful' attack (i.e. resulting in a fatality) in the UK since the London tube bombings nearly ten years ago. None of the various other plans for mass attacks have succeeded. Meanwhile in the same period there have been over 90 convictions for conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism, when plots have been discovered before they could be implemented.

None of which means, of course, that there won't be another big one tomorrow, and this relatively good record of the British security services may well be as much down to luck as to good intelligence or competence. But as far as it goes, it's encouraging.
