What does a UK terrorist look like?

Question

Might sound a daft question but when going on holiday, the search on the way out was quite thorougher which (in my ignorance, possibly) I thought was a bit OTT because I'm white English and I thought you would be Middle East looking to be a terrorist. Or, do we have white English citizens wanting to be part of terror groups (was the shoe bomber white?)

So do they just look like a Middle Eastern person or can you White English looking ones?

Answer 1

Because of the PC attitude in this country now, all people will be searched regardless of ethnicity.  And all to stop a bunch of whining Muslims starting on about equal rights etc.

Answer 2

UK terrorists are easily spotted.

They wear pyjamas and silly little hats. They don't want to live by our laws, they expect the government to make exceptions for their backward and evil ideaology.They run a parallel economy using illegal immigrants for a workforce. They are concerned with the sexual abuse of pre-adolescent girls and enforced marriage. They have no respect for their host nation, or the values held by true British people.They want to kill us all, because it is written within their evil scriptures to do so.They are out numbering us by over in-breeding and demographics.

Oh, Yes,   and they smell awful

Answer 3

like you and me.

Answer 4

This one looks rather "British" So does his baby unscrambled.

And look at these 3 (DEAD) British Citizens - http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0f2K...

Edit. Kamran. David Copeland acted independently of any organised Terrorist Group. He is mentally ill and is a racist homophobe. I don't think the questioner meant people like him. He is a psychopath.

Edit 2 to Kamran. No he is not recognised as a "Terrorist". He is a Mental Patient at Broadmoor. I shouldn't really bother saying "no I do not support his actions" but as you asked, NO I DO NOT SUPPORT HIS ACTIONS. He bombed the Admiral Duncan where lots of my friends drink, I think he should have been given the electric chair - IF ONLY !

Answer 6

There was a report published this week saying you really can't tell.  Could be Asian or Caucasian, could be married with kids, or not, could be older, or not.  The interesting thing was that there is not much connection with religious understanding or practise.

"MI5 has concluded that there is no easy way to identify those who become involved in terrorism in Britain, according to a classified internal research document on radicalisation seen by the Guardian."

Answer 7

beard and turban.  

Answer 8

what about IRA terrorists, there wasn't too many of them from the Middle East

Answer 9

Maybe thinking is just too much for some people and they should just lie down and take the Valium.

Answer 10

A successful terrorist, in any country, looks like a smoking blob of gooey stuff with no head.  (Why do it??)

Answer 11

The IRA and KKK are also terrorist organisations.  Obviously all the KKK are white.  

Yes it is your ignorance because the biggest threat to us before 2005 was the IRA (well to England)

Answer 12

Answer 17

you forgot about this guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Copel...

EDIT: Dame f***y Haddock, the question was "what does a U.K terrorist look like"

David Copeland IS a U.K terrorist, unless you are in support of his actions???

illness is used as an excuse

EDIT 2: what makes him different from the london bombers may i ask???

they both had motives to kill, making them both terrorists

Answer 18

The best sort of terrorist looks like you,me and our neighbours.

Of course if they would get a large T tattooed on their foreheads it would make life easier and safer but I think that would defeat their purpose.

One countries terrorist is another countries freedom fighter.
