When you think of the word terrorist, does Islam or Muslim spring to mind?

Is it because of the media?

It's been 'branded' as ISIL attacks.

I see no other immediate threat to the country at the moment, apart from lone right-wing nutjobs.

You're lying.

When you have a road rage incident with a brown chap, you shout terrorist. Don't lie.

road rage and terrorism bit of a stretch, perhaps one should stick with using the train and avoiding all those "isms".

Muslims feel like it's Muslims vs Everyone else at the moment.

Even in road rage incidents. Muslims think "is it because I'm Muslim?"

Answer the question of the topic. Do you visualise islam or Muslim when you hear terrorist?

I think this one will simply vanish rather than be padlocked. Best way with winkers like this.

In NI the IRA terrorist threat level is "severe".
Mainland UK it's "substantial", one level below the International threat level of "severe".

Hello Mr Hearst Magazines UK, thank you for being so gracious as to letting me read your thread.

It's nice that the owners like to get involved and ask probing questions.

No.

Do you ask because many who are arrested for terrorism may happen to be of the Islamic faith?

Were the IRA Muslim?

Terrorists are arrested & charged with terrorism if they are under suspicion of committing that offence. There would be evidence to prove they were involved or not with the offence they are charged/convicted of...

Terrorist is a word used to describe something you don't like.

When I hear the word 'terrorist' I visualise blood, bodies, destruction, death, mutilation, sadness, despair.

ETA: Sorry, forgot the other question. Is it because of the media? No, it's because of the blood, bodies, destruction, death, mutilation, sadness and despair.

I can never understand how people can hate marzipan. True its very sickly and like eating unicorn burgers, but the haters need to stop! Where's the love?
