    I agree with this completely.
    I meant that I feel like as a community of Scottish people of various ethnic descent we can get over the whole incident and not always feel the need to blame people of one skin tone or another for it all.
    It was individuals who done it, as you said. And not the whole community.

    The best thing the authorities can do is get Glasgow Airport operating as normal as quickly as possible rather than playing to the wishes of these idiots by prolonging the chaos which they sought to create. It was business as usual at Carlisle Airport today. If there was a heightened security presence it was very discrete.

    one of the airport workers at Glasgow who wrestled one of the attackers to the ground, the guy seems like a legend and you can even donate £3 to buy him a pint..

    It seems that these people involved have no connections to Scotland and are sub-human scum, alot of praise and respect to the glasgow airport staff who dealt so brilliantly with Scotland's first terrorist attack,

    Scum working as doctors in British hospitals, according to French radio.
    Seems incredible.

    The people suffering worst from terrorism are the terrorists' "own" people, meaning quiet law-abiding cititzens and immigrants from muslim countries. Whereas only a few years ago, we could all live and work together, the minorities are now experiencing more and more discrimination -- which is hardly surprising, but is very sad.
