Be serious Billy. You know what I said. I will quote it; Give me a list of convictions made.
Which is precisely what I did. I gave you a list of convictions. Did you read them?
If the Islamists really were a major threat
This says it all really. You are in denial. Go back and read the news articles detailing the plots post-convictions. If you don't call this a 'major threat' you are off the scale.
nothing will stop them from repeating the IRA campaigns in England, as seen in the past. There are many terrorist methods they can apply, both tried and tested, as well as innovated methods. I don't think the reason why we haven't witnessed alot of bombings is because the scumbags have all been arrested and stopped.
The IRA's methodology was completely different to the jihadis. Jihadis modus operandi is for carefully planned, long time scale mass killing atrocities, larger in scale than the IRA did. They also utilise suicide-bomber which presents its own issues of careful selection, brain washing, and deployment.
So we have numerous massive jihadi mass murders stopped through the work of intelligence agencies and the police in the last four years. We have actual failed bombings in which but for the grace of God hundreds of people will have been murdered at airports and nightclubs. And you still say they are not 'a major threat'. Unbelievable.
I repeat what I said above: the continual convictions and trials (constant, ongoing and consistent) and failed bombings, all intended to commit indiscriminate mass murder on a horrific scale,
disprove the idea that there is a phantom threat fabricated or concocted by the media or by the government.
