No, he said terror attacks were "part and parcel of being in a big city". It's not the norm at all. Paraphrasing selectively is not helpful.
9/11 - New York
Paris Bataclan attacks
London Attacks
And Tokyo?

Sarin Gas terror attack.
If anything of the great cities (London, Tokyo, New York, Paris Rome), Rome hasn't got the memo.
Tokyo I can count on less than one hand how many terror attacks its had. The UK has had more in the last MONTH than Japan ever has. I'm sorry but if Rudy Guilianai said 9-11 was "part and parcel of being in a big city" which is the same as being the norm I would want his head. That London mayor is a dumb ass IMO. Hes out of touch with how I assume people must be feeling. To just accept this as the norm in the UK IMO is insane. There is a fine line between tolerance and being a bitch. I have never known anything about the UK to being liked to a bitch so I can only assume this is just a vocal minority.
This isn't directed at you by the way. I'm just saying over all, people randomly dying for sky fairy's isn't "normal". Its just not, and your government should be doing more instead of just saying "Hey guys its not that bad. part and parcel of being in a big city, YOLO." Especially coming from someone in the Muslim faith which IMO was insensitive.
Now with ALL that being said, I'm an American getting my news from filtered BBC, CNN and Fox. I really have no idea what's going on over there. I just know a lot of people keep dying for Allah Peanut Butter Sandwiches and I'm sick of it.
