I was somewhat taken aback by the following passage from the BBC article headlined Dewsbury 'in shock over UK's youngest suicide bomber':
AnalysisBy Dominic Casciani, home affairs correspondent
Talha Asmal's family say he was groomed. That makes him, in their eyes, a teenage victim, rather than a criminal or terrorist.
Ten years ago, the UK had the same debate about suicide bombers from Yorkshire who killed 52 people in London in the 7/7 attacks.
That's not the debate I remember having with my friends and family. Not for one second did we even think of considering any of the 7/7 terrorists as "victims".
Did you have that debate at the time?
