I read where the bloke was a nutter with no religious affiliation .

Sad story but beefing up security and telling people to avoid public places is just giving in to the terrorists wishes which this scumbag isn't .

good diplomatic and statesman gesture.

more and more. we hope and pray that it will not be a crisis.
