TERROR NEWS THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE: OR WOULD IT?

Meghan Markle, movie ad warnings and a judge decrying the Koran… are all making news across the pond and Down Under. As an independent American woman, Meghan Markle has been oblivious to terrorism. That is, until she was warned by U.K. police to stop shutting her own car door. Hear why and whether she has taken it to heart. A new “Communities Defeat Terrorism” ad campaign was launched in U.K. movie theaters as a run-up to the Oscars. Just like our “If you see something, say something,” it’s meant to keep the public alert and confident enough to report suspicious acts. But their campaign has some new twists, including the motto “Life has no rewind button.” Hear what three scenes their ad depicts as situations that should send you running to their anti-terrorism hotline and why there has been a backlash. In Australia, a judge sentencing two terrorists, nicknamed “Bonnie and Clyde,” called upon Muslims to publically disavow the violent verses of the Koran that inspire terrorism. Imagine the reaction if this happened in the U.S.!
