The foreign policy aspect will grab the headlines but that's just part of it as he believes there's clearly a need to tackle the problem at home too and see what we can do better.
Not sure how people can see any of this as controversial - in fact it makes up much of what the G7 are talking about today. |  |

Look at the map. They kill all over the world. They particularly like killing the 'wrong' muslims.
Corbyn is a fool. He, like so many others, is too stupid or scared to blame their religion.
The ISIS statement after Paris was the usual menu of excuses referring to God, Mohammed, Holy Land, adulterers, apostates, unbelievers, pornographers, cartoons ...
mocking France as a “capital of prostitution and obscenity,”
but no, it's our fault and nothing to do with religion. |
Evidence shows that radicalism is linked to perceptions of discrimination. Targeting a religion isn't just unjustifiable, it is counterproductive. |  | | |

We should have the balls to acknowledge that religion is the main problem.
You can choose to ignore that fact but that it would be a massive error. |  | | |

But it isn't the main problem. The main problem is feeding those who want to corrupt religion. Our foreign policy, plus domestic perceptions of inequalities and islamophobia (etc), all feed radicalism. Eliminate that feed and the terrorist leaders lose opportunities to inflict harm. | | | |

I've merely gone by the evidence. Emotional attacks on religion will only intensify the terrorist threat | | | |

Sometimes interventions overseas are required and successful though. As Jo Cox's husband summed up earlier today

If there is a case and an exit plan? Of course. However, in the majority of cases, humanitarian rationale is used incorrectly.
We don't just see that with foreign policy. We also have a history of mixing up foreign aid and nastiness such as arms deals... | | | |

ISIS wants to DESTROY the west. It makes no difference if a country attacks their region or not. What is it in this that is so difficult for that idiot that leads Labour to understand? |
So when David Cameron said, in 2006, "We need to recognise that a central element of foreign policy, the intervention in Iraq, has failed in it's objectives so badly that the threat to this country is actually greater than it was before it began." he was talking nonsense was he? I don't remember TM criticising that statement. Tory hypocrisy. [Post edited 27 May 2017 8:34]

No not at all...these people were known to have radical views within their own communities yet them communities choses to do nothing about it...it was the same in the Belgium suburbs after their attacks. |
The Manchester bomber was reported to authorities by people in his community, but let's not let facts get in the way. |  |

Well said.
I'd add: Shameful, manipulative, intellectually dishonest, political point-scoring hypocrisy. And not just restricted to the Tories. Seems like anyone with an axe to grind with Corbyn is quite happy reinventing the past and the present in order to have a dig. | |

More than once and by more than one person I believe too.
These communities that people accuse them of hiding in are the very targets they are hitting in much of the world. |  |
