Most of us will be horrified at the horrendous and barbaric terrorist attacks carried out in England recently. In the latest, people were stabbed multiple times and some even had their throats cut. Vehicles and concealed knives are now the preferred killing weapons of these terrorists because they are less likely to be detected by police and cameras prior to the attacks than bombs in backpacks were.

These attacks have taught us not all terrorists are immigrants – many are home-grown terrorists who, through their Islamic churches, fellow Muslim comrades or social media have become radicalised. In today's technological age it cannot be predicted how these young people will turn out.

Hungary and parts of Scandinavia, along with Australia and now Samoa and Tonga have voiced their opposition to accepting more Muslims. To keep our country safe in the future we need to do the same and that includes refusing to take any
more refugees.
