I really don't have words to express my sadness about the murder of Lee Rigby. I just hope I would display the bravery of these women. The vast majority of humanity are caring, decent people. The two men who did this barbaric act are dysfunctional and depraved. They should be locked away and shunned. I hope people don't jump to shallow conclusions about the cause of this.
These women should be an example of the majority of caring and decent people who have compassion for their fellow human beings and not the hate filled psychopaths who are looking for an excuse to kill.

We don't have to jump to conclusions, the man in the video with bloody hands and a meat clever said clearly why he did it.......And it seems alot of incidents seem to be done for the same reason. Lets be honest its not the first time we've heard it. Theres something seriously wrong going on, sugar coating isn't helping anyone.

I'm just saying it is probably more complicated than it appears. Both the men involved were brought up in Christian households and became Muslims when they were older. Some people are just looking for a reason to perpetrate their violence and join something they think justifies it.
It would be interesting if an in depth study was conducted on the reasons for these incidents instead of people latching on to a more simple cause. I think these 2 men were full of hate and were attracted to the more radical elements of the Muslim religion. Whatever the reasons the outcome has been horrific.
Watch the video. The killer explains his reasons clearly and rationally.
Well the killer was clearly a psychopath. However on top of that he did say, "It is an eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth. By Allah, we swear by the almighty Allah, we will never stop fighting until you leave us alone."
Am I to understand then that you blame Western military interventions in Muslims countries for the atrocity in Woolwich? If not will you please be clear who or what it is that you are blaming?

The fact thats disturbing is they would resort to this sort of violence to make their voices be heard.. foreign policies was the cause, but its not to blame though. You can easily protest, or hold a peaceful demonstration to let your voice be heard but there was clearly another factor that made it acceptable for them to get violent.

Islam does seem to be attracting and radicalising a slice of disaffected youth. It happened in this case and it happened in the case of the Boston bomber. I think we need to get a better understanding of how and why this is happening as well as the ability to stop those religious radicals who are manipulating this youth into violent acts of this nature.

No I am not blaming western military interventions. I don't have to blame anyone, the terrorist in the video admitted to butchering the man and he gave his reasons why, And he didn't work alone, there was another terrorist with him. They obviously shared similar views to work together like that. Blaming western military intervention is a poor excuse. We have seen American military intervention in Latin America, yet Latinos dont put bombs where innocent Americans stand to watch a marathon, or crash planes into buidlings. The Chinese invaded Tibet, killing hundreds of thousands and tried to erase Tibetan religion, yet we don't see Tibetans attacking Chinese people with meat clevers, or putting bombs on subway trains.
There is a powerful force at work. Second generation disenfranchised immigrants in Europe are turning more and more to radical preachers to magically solve all of their problems. Sometimes, these people take this out in the form of violence as we have seen with the Wollwich attacks. Everyone around the internet is advocating a more aggressive border control policy. Is that a solution? Probably not. More importantly, people need to look closely at the sorts of Imams that are allowed to reside in the western world and spew dangerous hate. The beauty of the West is in its relative freedom, but if the government isn't at least kind of keeping an eye on these people and who they are influencing, they are asking for more trouble.
