SIR – Is anybody else getting tired of the establishment trying to sanitise and make light of the people who support terrorism?
First we had Jihadi ’John’ – why are the media calling an Islamic terrorist John? When we had IRA terrorists did the media give them an Asian name? Of course not. Has political correctness become so ingrained in our establishment that they dare not even label an Islamic terrorist as such?
We then had the sorry story of three girls going over to fight for ISIS and the establishment blame game began by blaming the police for not preventing it, when in the real world it should have been the parents taking responsibility.
The final insult from the left wing apologists was to suggest the three girls were ‘groomed’ by ISIS and we should see the girls as victims. Interesting that they are concerned about terrorist sympathisers being groomed but are unwilling to speak up for our girls that really were groomed in Rotherham.
It’s about time we stood up to terrorists. If you go abroad to fight for a terrorist group, Ukip will strip you of your passport!
