The mindset of a terrorist is impossible to comprehend.

On Monday May 22, I didn’t watch the midnight news (as I usually do) before I headed for bed.

So, I was unaware of the horrific event that occurred at the Manchester Arena until the following morning.

As I absorbed the TV reports of what that warped individual had done to so many innocent people, I felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach.

I know this is a very delicate subject, but I had to share my anger and frustration about this appalling event with you.

Call it therapy, if you like, but I needed to get it out of me and down in print.

Despite the warped efforts of people like the man who walked into the foyer of the Manchester Arena and deliberately detonated a bomb which could potentially kill hundreds, we live in a free country.

This freedom allows you to disagree with my opinions – and me to disagree with yours without resorting to acts of unimaginable violence and carnage.

It’s called tolerance. A word some sections of British society seem unfamiliar with.

Imagine for a moment you were the bomber, standing there in the foyer, a bomb strapped to your body, your finger poised over the detonator.

The concert ends and thousands of excited, happy people – mostly young girls and children– walk towards you.

What exactly goes through your head the second before you detonate the bomb, knowing you’ll be blown to pieces, along with your victims?

It’s impossible for a rational human being to comprehend that mindset.

Apparently, there are more than 3000 Jihadists in the U.K. Whatever lies they’re fed that motivate them to perform atrocities, the truth is, once they press that detonator, they’ll simply disappear into oblivion.

If they realised this, perhaps these terrible incidents might stop.
