Not saying this is the case, but sometimes they will use a timer as groups have used unwilling people and or people that may pull out at the last minute. Probably not the case here though.

If it was a suicide bomber, then I would guess it was a religious fool who incorrectly thought he was carrying out the work of god. I don't think you can offend him, as he's dead. Of course if you just tried to tar every religious person with the same brush, then yes, that would be dumb and offensive. I'm not sure what you're wanting to say that you can't.
That they're doing god's work and going to heaven?
Brainwashing.

I know and then go home to your family and give your nine year old daughter the biggest hug you can.
RIP the victims, thoughts with their families. Terrible news to wake up to.
We'll fly flags at half mast, lay flowers, change profile pictures and tweet #PrayforManchester and then wait for the next attack. There are around 3000 'dangerous' people in our country and we do nothing. We are a shambles and we are walking into civil war. THIS IS SCARY SOMEONE DO SOMETHING

No frigging way-that's exactly what they want.
Carry on as normal-don't let these backward, superstitious ****s get the upper hand.
It doesn't.
We don't need to defend it, as you've pointed out, the Quran doesn't say it's ok to kill innocent people.

They attack our off duty soldiers, they attack our armed police officers, they attack our seats of government. The police and soldiers are trained in some way to at least defend themselves and can at least try and fight back.
But now they attack our children who's minds are full of joy and love and fun. Innocent of all the political crap and nonsense.
Sad, shameful and disgusting.

I get that but by the sounds of the reports they detonated it to coincide with the end of the show. He would have detonated it earlier had the show ended earlier. The suggestion that the timing saved people isn't necessarily correct

I know, there's conflicting accounts still. It's just awful beyond words this.

Saying that religion is the problem is like saying football is at fault for the terrible episodes of violence that surround it.
The vast majority of people who practice religion don't destroy other lives like this. I don't bury my hand in any sand, I'm just aware that through some warped ideology there are a small number of people who do most terrible things. There is no obvious solution except ongoing attempts to educate, reconcile and show a different way. Any other solution that involves mass repression of many innocents, as history shows, only leads to more division and worse conflict.
The problem, as we sadly see last night, is this: You cannot defeat someone who is prepared to die for what they believe in. You can only do your best through responsible engagement (and the quality work of prevention by security services) to limit the problem. Hopefully one day we will succeed. But it is a long road that I fear we have only just started. We all have a part to play- and what we write on forums is a small part of it.

But just the news channels reading out a statement from the group will not 'brainwash' influential people into joining their cause. Site's and social media pages that aid their cause and recruitment need targeting.

Empty words in my mind.
They pay lip service to these atrocities rather than do something about the warped ideology within their religion. They'll 'show solidarity with the victims and their families' but next week it will be back to normal. That is the depressing thing.

That beggars belief! Other posts indicate that fellow NSCers know exactly what I mean. There is one very fine post explaining it exactly. Sadly, you now appear to have rejected it out of hand.
What's unbelievable is your post. What a load of shit. I'm anti fox hunting, but carrying carrying on with making what seem like rather trivial laws (in light of today's news) is exactly what a free country should be doing.
There are a lot of posts, which one is it that says what you're too afraid to say?
I imagine it was a load of shit then.

strong and stable with me, or...
There are more than 3000 dangerous people in this country – 11 people stabbed to death on London streets in the past month alone.
We are far from a shambles. What an insult to our police and intelligence services who continue to risk their lives protecting us. Who knows how many atrocities have been prevented, and the risks taken in doing so. We're yet to know how many victims maybe police and security services that you are denigrating so flippantly, smells slightly of The Sun story they've decided to run with this morning. Do you really think the families of a potentially fallen police officer want to hear people suggest we do nothing, or those of Keith Palmer?
The unfortunate fact is there is precious little we can do about these kind of attacks, is there?
Our security services are seemingly able to work small miracles in regularly snuffing out attacks from groups and cells that their intelligence unearths, but lone wolf attacks are all but impossible to know about until it's too late.
We can beef up security on entrance to mass attendance venues, such as we have seen at the Amex, but that merely moves the point where an attack may occur further out.
That this attack happened at the end of the concert just outside the main arena may indicate that this attack was carried out by someone approaching the venue having not gone to the concert itself.
If we can stop bad actors getting into football stadiums, we can do little to stop them targeting crowds as they leave stadiums in city centres or on public transport.
So terribly sad
Quite.
Difficult to accept but this hangs over all of us, every time we go to a game, or pass through a busy station, wherever.
And yet incredibly, just days ago, you had people on this very forum whining about the security measures around the gathering of 100,000 people on our sea-front.
