Fans of Justin Bieber pleaded on Tuesday for his upcoming British tour dates to be canceled, underscoring the potential repercussions to music acts with a young fan base from the suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

Canadian heartthrob Bieber, 23, is due to play an open air concert at London's Hyde Park in July. But fans flooded social media saying his appearance should be axed for the safety both of fans and the singer himself.

Folks, if we aren’t going to continue with business as usual, we just as well join Islam now and get it over with.

I stridently recommend we do not let them think their tactics will work.

>> Young people waking up to radical islamic terrorism.

They’re idiots that have not only ignored the extensive violence perpetrated by Islam, but have tacitly defended it.

Nothing will change with these idiots save the direct impact a terrorist attack would have on the them physically.

Its just sad that the response of Western youth to a terror attack is to plead with artists to shut down tours. To use a cliché, the terrorists have won. Why aren’t Western youth pleading with their governments to shut down unfettered immigration from terrorist countries?

Terrorism isn't just bombs going off or people being killed, it's the dark cloud of fear than descends on a society, where bags are checked, everyone looks suspicious, lots of surveillance cameras to document the explosions after the fact, and people changing plans to avoid crowds. The middle east wanted to bring their daily horrors to Europe, and they did, with invaluable help from the host governments.

I’ve a very bright nephew who actually thinks global warming is a major cause of radical islamic terrorism. Another who attended the coordinated airport protest over Trump’s first “muslim ban” EO. These are otherwise “smart” kids. Sad. I hope they wise up.

Stay on course London/GB and allow it.
It will give you a chance to show the world your resolve and skills in handling this stuff.

Since they all believe in no walls & no guns, by all means let him do the concert, in the open, with no security.

I know as a child and as a teen, death was really hard concept. It happened to your grandparents, but not to you.

Then when I was in first grade, two kids in my elementary school who were a grade a head of me died a horrible death - they were playing army on a sand pile in a sand pit and the sand collapsed on them and buried them alive. In 9th grade, had a kid, again a year ahead of me, die in a sledding accident, he hit a tree. No he wasn’t a Kennedy. Then, my freshman year in college, my best friend’s father died in a head-on collision between his work truck, the the tractor trailer going too fast that crossed from south bound 95 to north bound 95 and hit her father’s truck less than 100 feet from the exit he would have taken.

Hardest lesson to learn, death doesn’t respect youth or youth’s ambitions. There’s enough stuff around to kill you, we don’t need terrorists too.

Reality has a way of hitting you upside the head every so often.

The Bieberists should arm themselves and start killing Muslims.
