IS threaten London with terrorist

It seems IS have issued a warning that they are going to launch a "Doomsday" attack on London so bad it will turn childrens hair white. I guess eventually one of the many terrorist groups on the planet will be successful in carrying out a major attack in the UK.

Yup, that's the kind of thing they're known for.

An I think that's about as serious as the average person takes these threats. It's just something to add to the ,"ahh well I might get hit by a bus, fall down the stairs, ect tomorrow" phrase.

Face it, if a terrorist decides to run up to you an behead you tomorrow you'll be the first person to know an the last person to care. It's just part of life now, an these events change nothing. Also, I read somewhere you're more likely to die of risky sexual behaviour (sic) than terrorism.

Although a combination of the 2, being attacked by a risky sexual terrorist maybe quite interesting.

Problem is not the threats that we know about but the threats that we don't.

An attack of some sort is sadly inevitable. I have absolutely no doubt we have a number of high risk IS operatives, a considerably greater number of IS supporters, and a far greater still number of IS sympathisers in the country.

When people base, or in many cases were forced by their parents to base, their entire existence around any one thing that carries with it so many potentially negative connotations and end up with it completely defining them they are, by definition, going to appear extreme to those who do not share such views.

Any examples of what the "thing" might be

You mean there are risky sexual members of ISIS we don't know about?

Given we were discussing IS I'd imagine Islam would be the obvious one, though it can go for many religions that have been around a while and haven't been through an 'enlightenment'.

What would describe "enlightenment" to be?

EDIT- forget it, your the least racist person I think I have seen/read in the Internet. This site has some very racist users but I'm not sure they understand just how vile and racist they are.

Would some sort of 'resraints' be involved?

Sun follows moon and terrorists plan attacks on civilians so much easier then picking fights with those armed and ready for it. At some point a plan will succeed it's a question of numbers and sadly our policies of multi cultralism will come back to bite us the question is when it happens will we have the strength to stay true to our beliefs or react with fear and anger. Terrorism is a fact of life in today's world and will be for some time to come but terrorism isn't the preserve of any one group or religion and our response should also be specific rather then general.

The Nazi's could bomb us into surrender so a few terrorist bombs won't do squat

Terrorists are often cowardly. None more so than those who ask others to walk into a crowded area wearing a bomb. They don't even have the courage to carry out their own threats.

However, I have lived in and around London all my life. I have seen it threatened by various groups (IRA, Taliban and IS mainly). I don't see that IS is any different to the other groups. In fact I'd argue they are less successful than the IRA or Taliban as they have not successfully hit London yet.
