The last 2 terrorist attacks here have been from people born in the UK. Immigration didn't really have anything to do with it.

You're talking about something you clearly know nothing about.
Their mosque's and others in their community reported them to the authorities under suspicions of extremism, that's why they were on a watch list.

A watch list for terrorism is sort of meaningless, seeing as you can't arrest someone until they've broken laws.
The manchester bomber could've easily looked up how to make a nail bomb on tor, or at an internet cafe and the government are unaware.
Also there's no real way of stopping people driving their car to go on the pavement and mow people over, unless you ban people from driving cars there isn't really much you can do.

Islamic terrorism is rarer in the US. Right wing terrorism is your problem at the moment, we've only had one notable instance of right wing terrorism last year when an mp was killed.
Also the UK has it's own privacy laws, we're very unique in that way from the other EU countries. Our government got caught spying on us, then made it legal to exonerate themselves. Putting the UK in with your Europe narrative doesn't really work that way.

I was simply responding to his statement of 'There is a reason why terrorism in the US is a lit rarer than in Europe.'
Meaning terrorism isn't rare in the US, Islamic terrorism is rare in the US.
I'm probably a terrible islam apolgist because I'm not an Islam apologist.

Oh really?
1. Immigration doesn't have anything do with it.
2. Right wing extremists is a bigger problem in the us than Islamic terrorism.
3. Watch lists of muslim extremists are meaningless.
4. Mosques report terrorist elements.

Sigh. All but 1 were objective factual statements.
1. I said the last 2 attackers here in the UK were born in the UK. They weren't immigrants. Factual statement.
2. There have been more Right wing terrorist attacks in the US in the past 10 years than there have been Islamic terrorist attacks. Factual statement.
3. A watch list is meaningless because it obviously doesn't prevent terrorist attacks. The last 2 attackers here were on watchlists and it didn't do anything. Some facts behind it but watchlists being meaningless is my opinion as it doesn't prevent anything.
4. I said the mosque of the manchester attacker reported him to the authorities for extremism. That is a factual statement.
You've made 0 points here. *facepalm gif*
